May is Inherited Retinal Disease Genetic Testing Month!👁️

IRDs are a rare group of diseases caused by a genetic mutation that affects the retina’s structure and function.

IRDs are inherited and cannot be prevented, therefore, individuals with a family history are at a higher risk. Some IRDs can start in very early childhood but may not show any signs until school-age or the teenage years. Some IRDs cause mild visual impairment, while others are more severe, potentially leading to blindness.

Types of IRDs include:
✨Achromatopsia
✨Choroderemia
✨Cone-rod Dystrophy
✨Leber Congenital Amaurosis
✨Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)
✨Stargardt Disease

Unfortunately, there is no cure for IRDs. Treatments may be available depending on the condition. This could involve prescription glasses to improve visual clarity, the use of tints and filters to help with light sensitivity, and potentially surgery to repair the retina.

What to Expect During Your NeuroVisual Medicine (NVM) Exam

Knowing what to expect during the NeuroVisual Medicine (NVM) process can feel overwhelming. Here’s a quick overview of what the process may look like at North Shore Eye Health & Wellness.

Step 1: Comprehensive Eye Exam
Before scheduling an NVM evaluation, you first need a dilated comprehensive eye exam. This allows our doctors to assess your eye health and visual clarity and rule out any underlying conditions. If appropriate, we will then schedule your NVM evaluation.

Step 2: Your NVM Evaluation
During your NVM exam, our doctors evaluate your binocular vision, which is how well your eyes work together as a team. If Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) is diagnosed, the exam helps determine the amount of visual misalignment present. Based on these findings, your doctor may prescribe specialized microprism lenses to help correct the misalignment.

Step 3: Your New Glasses
After your exam, you will order your glasses through our knowledgeable optical department. Once you receive them, these initial lenses typically provide symptom relief for about 2–4 weeks, although sometimes slightly longer.

Step 4: Follow-Up Visit
After this adjustment period, you’ll return for a follow-up NVM exam. At this visit, your doctor will evaluate how your eyes have responded and provide a finalized prescription adjusted for your relaxed eye muscles.

✨ Every patient’s NVM journey is unique.
Some patients experience relief with microprism lenses alone, while others may benefit from additional treatment such as vision therapy. Patients come to us for many reasons, including stroke, concussion, traumatic brain injury, or symptoms of Binocular Vision Dysfunction without a known injury. Our doctors work with each patient to create a personalized treatment plan based on their individual needs.

Reading outside can feel peaceful... until your eyes start to strain.

Brighter light, glare, and shifting contrast can make it harder to stay focused on the page. You might find yourself squinting, losing your place, or developing a headache more quickly than usual.

For some people, the issue isn’t the book itself, but how their eyes work together under different lighting conditions.

If reading feels harder outdoors than it should, your visual alignment may be part of the picture.

April is Women’s Eye Health & Safety Month!👁️👓

Women face a higher risk than men for eye diseases, including Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), cataracts, glaucoma, and dry eye disease. Many of these eye diseases can be caught early on, and potentially prevented if detected soon enough.

One of the biggest reasons women tend to have more vision problems than men is that women on average live longer than men. Hormones, from pregnancy and menopause, can also impact a woman’s eye health.

Raising awareness for women being at risk for these diseases is important. Here are some habits and tips to help maintain your eye health and lower your risk of eye disease:

✨Get your routine comprehensive exam: Women ages 18 to 64 should have an eye exam at least every two years. If you’re 65 and older, you should have an eye exam annually. Your eye doctor will tell you if you need more frequent appointments.

✨Eat a healthy diet: Eat foods good for your eye health, such as fish, lean meats, whole grains, brightly colored fruits and dark leafy greens.

✨Staying active: Exercise keeps your eyes healthy by reducing your risk of diabetes and other health problems that can affect vision.

✨Wear your sunglasses: The sun emits UV rays that can damage your eyes, even on cloudy days so wear sunglasses whenever you’re outside. Ensure your sunglasses block 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB rays, our opticians can help you with this.

✨Quit smoking: Smoking can damage your eyes and raise your risk for eye health problems such as age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.

For any questions or if you need an eye exam, call our office today at (262) 421-4412. We are here to help your eyes every step of the way!

Do Springtime allergies leave your eyes feeling irritated and itchy?🌸🌿

Well, you are not alone! With Spring right at our doorstep, it’s important to know how to manage your allergy symptoms.

Seasonal allergies can cause your eyes to feel dry, watery, red, or itchy; rubbing them only worsens these symptoms. Here are some of our office tips for relief:

✨Use preservative-free artificial tears
✨Avoid rubbing your eyes and try a cool compress instead
✨Wash your hands frequently
✨Take a break from contacts and wear your glasses
✨Wear sunglasses outdoors for added allergen protection
✨Ask us about allergy-safe/specific eye drops

Your eyes deserve to feel good no matter the season. If your symptoms are still lingering even with these tips, we are here to help!

👁️ It’s Keratoconus Awareness Week!👁️

Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea becomes thin and bulges into a cone-like shape, causing blurred, distorted vision that glasses don’t always fully correct.

It often begins in the teen or young adult years and may show up as:
✨ Frequent prescription changes
✨ Blurred or double vision
✨ Glare, halos, and light sensitivity

Keratoconus affects about 1 in 375 people, and early detection is key. With advanced imaging, we can detect keratoconus early and guide treatment options like specialty contact lenses or corneal cross-linking to help protect your vision.

💬 If your vision isn’t as clear as it should be, even with updated glasses, it’s time to take a closer look.
