Choosing vision correction is a big decision, and clarity matters — before, during, and after the procedure.

This patient came in well-informed, felt guided at every step, and is now enjoying life with clearer vision after Trans-PRK / SupraLASIK.

Careful assessment, clear communication, and proper follow-up make all the difference.

Many people focus on cataracts or glaucoma as they get older, but age-related macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss later in life — and it often progresses quietly.

The good news is that lifestyle choices and regular eye examinations can play a real role in protecting your central vision. February is a timely reminder to stay proactive about your macular health and not wait for symptoms to appear.

Early awareness and early detection truly matter.

11/02/2026

Vision loss doesn’t always announce itself early — and that’s exactly what makes macular degeneration so easy to miss. Long before daily tasks like reading or driving become difficult, subtle changes can already be developing in the retina.

With the right examinations, these changes can often be identified early, when there is still time to protect and preserve vision. Paying attention to eye health as we age isn’t just about eyesight — it’s about maintaining independence and quality of life.

February is Macular Degeneration Awareness Month, a reminder that early attention truly matters.

Many patients tell me, “I thought this was normal.”
Burning, fluctuating vision, redness, watery eyes, or light sensitivity are often brushed off — but they can be clear signs of dry eye disease.
Dry eyes don’t just cause discomfort. If left untreated, they can affect your vision, your screen tolerance, and even the accuracy of other eye treatments.
If any of these signs sound familiar, it’s worth having a proper assessment to understand the cause and choose the right treatment — not just temporary drops.
Your eyes shouldn’t feel uncomfortable every day.

“High eye pressure” doesn’t automatically mean glaucoma — and this is a very common misunderstanding.
Eye pressure is just one piece of the puzzle. To accurately assess glaucoma risk, we also need to look at the optic nerve, corneal thickness, and visual field tests. Some people with higher pressure never develop glaucoma, while others can have glaucoma with normal pressure.
That’s why a proper, comprehensive eye assessment matters — not just a single reading at an optical shop.
If you’ve been told your eye pressure is high, don’t panic. Get it evaluated the right way.

Myth: “If my eyes don’t hurt, they must be fine.”
Fact: Some serious eye conditions — including glaucoma — cause no pain in their early stages. Vision loss can begin quietly and progress without warning.
Regular eye exams aren’t optional — they’re protective.

Waiting for cataracts to “get worse” isn’t always the best plan.
Modern cataract surgery is safe, precise, and designed to restore vision before it significantly impacts your independence and quality of life. The right time for treatment is often earlier than people think.
Clear vision starts with the right conversation.

Parents often notice something “off” in photos before they notice it in real life.
A squint (strabismus) can show up as one eye turning in or out, head tilting, or a child closing one eye in bright light. Early evaluation is important — not just for alignment, but for healthy visual development.
Early care can make a lifelong difference.

Cataracts don’t just blur vision — they change how you experience daily life.
Reading becomes harder. Lights glare at night. Faces lose clarity. Modern cataract surgery can restore vision safely and effectively, helping patients return to the moments that matter most.
If your world is starting to look cloudy, you don’t have to wait.

Do headlights look like starbursts, halos, or streaks when you drive at night?
Sometimes it’s a simple glasses issue — but in other cases, distorted lights can signal corneal conditions like astigmatism or keratoconus. If night driving feels unsafe or uncomfortable, guessing isn’t the answer.
A proper corneal check can give clarity — literally.
