May is Lupus Awareness Month. Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease, meaning it can impact organs throughout the body — including the eyes. Here's what people with lupus should know:

👁️ Dry eye syndrome — one of the most common lupus-related eye complaints, caused by immune system activity affecting the tear glands
🩸 Retinal vasculitis — inflammation of the blood vessels in the retina, which can affect vision
💊 Hydroxychloroquine toxicity — this common lupus medication, while generally safe, can cause retinal damage with long-term use and requires regular eye monitoring
👁️ Scleritis — painful inflammation of the white part of the eye, more common in autoimmune patients

If you have lupus and haven't had an eye exam recently, now is a great time to schedule one. At Cabarrus Eye Center, we provide comprehensive exams that include a detailed retinal evaluation. Your vision matters — and so does catching changes early.

After cataract surgery, many patients enjoy much-improved vision from the implanted lens, and most experience significant freedom from wearing glasses for distance vision. Not all lens implants are the same, however. Cabarrus Eye Center uses state-of-the-art implants (lenses), including Crystalens and ReSTOR.

• Crystalens: Moves slightly inside the eye to help adjust focus naturally at different distances
• ReSTOR: Uses light-splitting technology to improve near and distance vision
• Crystalens often provides strong distance and intermediate vision (like computer work)
• ReSTOR may offer better near vision for reading fine print
• Some patients may still need glasses depending on their lifestyle and eye health
• The best choice depends on your unique vision needs and goals

Today’s technology offers more freedom than ever before in seeing clearly. Scheduling a personalized eye exam can help determine which option best fits your lifestyle.

A shadow in your vision isn’t something to ignore. It could be your eye sending an urgent warning. Retinal detachment happens when the retina pulls away from the back of the eye, and it can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated quickly. The tricky part? It’s usually painless, so symptoms can be easy to overlook at first.

Common warning signs include sudden flashes of light, a burst of new floaters, blurred vision, or a dark “curtain” moving across your field of view. These changes can happen quickly, and time matters when it comes to protecting your sight. If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait—see an ophthalmologist right away!
