This is something that is not talked about enough: stress can show up in your vision.

Conditions such as Central Serous Retinopathy and Streff Syndrome are directly caused by stress which leads to blurry vision, eye strain, or even fluid buildup in the retina.

Managing stress is not just good for your mind, it is important for your eye health too.

True or False? LASIK eye surgery results wear off.

False. LASIK eye surgery can offer life changing results, but the misconception that its effects wear off over time can lead to some confusion. In reality, most LASIK results are permanent, though natural changes in vision due to aging may still occur.

Patients typically enjoy years of clear vision without glasses or contact lenses after LASIK. Around the mid-40’s, presbyopia (age-related near vision decline) may require reading glasses. Distance vision typically remains sharp until natural age-related changes develop, such as cataracts.

If you have been considering LASIK, call us to schedule a free LASIK consultation.

Did you know that Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (ION) is one of the most common causes of sudden vision loss in adults? ION occurs when blood flow to the optic nerve is reduced, leading to damage that can affect your vision.

Key symptoms:
Sudden, painless vision loss
Vision dimming or blind spots
Loss of visual field

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent further damage. If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait…call us to schedule an appointment.
