If your eye is itchy, it’s tempting to rub it. But rubbing your eye actually grinds debris into your cornea and can scratch it, causing further damage and irritation.

05/05/2020

What should you expect at your regular eye examination? The optometrist will look at your retinas with a special light to ensure they are healthy; monitor how your pupils react to changes in light; and test your vision, among other things.

04/30/2020

Like all prescriptions, contact lenses need to be renewed. Make sure you are following the schedule set by your optometrist for replacing your contact lenses.

04/28/2020

Just like the initial visit with any healthcare provider, we will request a complete medical history and profile; in particular, we will need to know about any medications you are allergic to as well as any diagnosed illnesses or medical conditions you may have.

04/23/2020

Everyone over the age of 50 should be routinely tested for glaucoma. Why? In the early stages, the disease is characterized by very few symptoms, but left untreated, it is the leading cause of preventable blindness in America.

04/21/2020

If you have difficulty clearly seeing things that are far away and if this is pronounced enough that you can't effectively perform a simple task, or the quality of your vision detracts from your enjoyment of activities, then it is time to see an optometrist.

04/16/2020

Acanthamoeba is an organism that rarely causes infections, but when it does, it can threaten a person’s vision. Acanthamoeba keratitis can be common in contact lenses and in the cornea.

04/14/2020

If you wear glasses, you know how tempting it is to just use your shirt tail or your tie to clean them. However, this can actually scratch your lenses, so it’s important to use the cleaning cloth that your glasses came with.

04/09/2020

Your eyes are very important, so when you are searching for a doctor, make sure you know how to find the right doctor. Check to see if the doctor is experienced, what equipment he or she uses, and if he or she is informative.

04/07/2020

It isn't easy to tell that someone is wearing contact lenses, which is one reason they're a popular alternative to glasses. Care to guess what percent of the U.S. population wears contacts? If you guessed 11 percent or so, you're right.

04/02/2020

Are you taking the proper steps to care for your contact lenses? The simplest ways to care for your lenses are to always wash your hands before handling the contact lenses, and rub and rinse the surface of the lenses before putting them away.

03/31/2020

Why are reading glasses an inevitability for virtually everyone? As we age, the eye lens becomes stiffer. That means the ability to easily focus on objects up close in our youth slowly becomes more and more difficult. For most people, reading glasses or bifocals solve the problem.

03/26/2020

If you are considering providing eye care services for your company and employees, we can help. We have a number of programs available that are tailored to businesses of any size, and are economical for all involved.

03/24/2020

Do you blink more or less when you're reading? If you guessed that you blink less, you're right. That's one reason why reading and other close work can cause dry, tired eyes.

03/19/2020

As your eyes age, it can be harder to see objects up close because the lens of the eye loses flexibility. This usually begins in the 40s and necessitates reading glasses.

03/17/2020

Waiting until you have vision problems to visit an optometrist is not in the best interests of your general health. Scheduling eye exams once a year (more often if you are older or have certain health issues such as diabetes), can detect vision problems in their earliest, and most treatable, stages.

03/12/2020

To diagnose conjunctivitis, the optometrist conducts a comprehensive eye exam. The doctor performs tests that measure vision acuity and examines the external tissues and internal structures of the eyes under bright light and magnification.

03/10/2020

Plastic or glass? Ask your optometrist which lens material is better for you. In most cases, plastic is preferred: It’s lighterweight, impact-resistant, and more durable than glass. Plastic lenses can also be much thinner than their glass counterparts, which may look better on the wearer.

03/05/2020

Lowering eye pressure is currently the only way to control glaucoma. This can be achieved via medicines, laser, or surgery. Medication typically involves eye drops and the dosage varies from one to three drops per day. Laser surgery can control eye pressure for as many as five years.

03/03/2020

While temporary eye pain or fatigue (often called "eye strain") can be caused by a number of factors, including how much you sleep, chronic pain points to a more major issue with your eyes. In this case, you should see an optometrist as soon as possible.

02/27/2020

Having trouble seeing while driving at night? Ask your optometrist for suggestions on how to increase your safety. Anti-reflective coatings on glasses can reduce glare from streetlights, and eye drops keep dryness from affecting your vision.

02/25/2020

Glasses work to improve our vision through lenses. Even if the lens in your own eyes doesn’t work properly, glasses with their lenses can help. Our office can help you see more clearly and help set the future in your sight.

02/20/2020

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the number-one cause of vision loss in American seniors 60 and older. This affects an overall 10 million people in the United States, according to the National Eye Institute.

02/18/2020

To perform a home check on your child’s vision, try this. If he or she is reading, turn on the close captioning for a TV show and have him or her read it. You will be told if the words are fuzzy or blurry.

02/13/2020

Getting an annual eye exam is one of the foundations of your ongoing health and wellness. When you’re able to catch a developing eye issue in its early stages, it’s often possible to treat it before it can seriously impair your vision.

02/11/2020

A variety of new treatments are being developed to correct farsightedness or presbyopia. However, the National Institutes of Health point out that prescription eyeglasses are still the most immediate, effective, and affordable solution for the majority of people.

02/06/2020

If you haven’t been able to use contacts in the past because they haven’t been made for your particular condition, ask us if anything has changed. Sometimes new technology has been introduced and there might be something useful.

02/04/2020

“Legally blind” is defined as having vision that can only be corrected with eyeglasses or contacts to a degree of 20/200, which means that you can only see 10 percent as well as a person with normal vision.

01/30/2020

If you work regularly at a computer screen, you may have problems seeing it clearly. Many screens sit out of the range of most prescription lenses. To address this, we recommend either progressive lenses or a dedicated pair of glasses for computer use.

01/28/2020

Did you know there are other types of cataracts in addition to age-related cataracts? Secondary cataracts form after surgery or as a response to other health issues. Traumatic cataracts can sometimes develop years after a trauma. A fairly small number of infants are born with cataracts or develop them at an early age. These are called congenital cataracts.
