A common question we hear is whether you can prevent eye diseases. While proper eye care can help, it’s challenging to completely prevent specific issues. That’s why annual eye exams are crucial! Your eye doctor will check for potential vision loss culprits, such as:
🔹 Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): The leading cause of vision loss in adults 50+, affecting 1.8 million people with 7.3 million more at risk.
🔹 Cataracts: A major cause of blindness, impacting those over 55 and sometimes even children.
🔹 Diabetic Retinopathy: Higher risk if you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, leading to vision complications.
🔹 Glaucoma: The second leading cause of vision loss in Americans, commonly affecting those over 40.

Stay proactive with your eye health! Schedule your annual eye exam with us at Lipstock LASIK and let’s keep your vision sharp.

Great news for those with type 1 diabetes! Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps not only help manage blood sugar but may also reduce the risk of diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness.
CGMs track blood sugar all day, no finger pricks needed.
Insulin Pumps provide a steady insulin flow.
A recent study found that patients using CGMs had fewer cases of diabetic retinopathy. While more research is needed, these devices offer hope for protecting your vision. Stay proactive about your eye health!

👁️✨Dry eye occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears or the tears they do produce are of poor quality. This lack of lubrication can lead to discomfort and vision problems.
What Causes Dry Eye? Several factors can disrupt the tear-flow system:
- Health conditions like Sjogren’s syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis affect tear production.
- Environmental triggers such as pollution or weather conditions contribute to dryness.
- Certain medications, including antihistamines and asthma treatments, can also induce dry eye.
- Extended computer use and wearing contact lenses exacerbate dry eye symptoms.

To find relief and maintain healthy eyes, our team at Lipstock LASIK can help you understand and manage dry eye. Schedule an appointment today to discuss your symptoms and receive personalized care. Contact us at (804) 288-1543!

Ever wondered how your eyes turn light into sight? Let's break it down!
1️. Cornea: The clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of your eye. It bends light to help the eye focus.
2️. Pupil & Iris: The pupil is the dark circle in the center, controlling how much light enters your eye. The iris, the colored part, adjusts the size of the pupil.
3️. Lens: Located behind the pupil, it further focuses light onto the retina.
4️. Retina: The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. It converts light into electrical signals.
5️. Optic Nerve: Transfers the electrical signals from the retina to the brain, where they're interpreted as images.

🔍👁️ Ever wondered how cataracts develop? Let's shed some light on the process!
Cataracts form when the proteins in the lens of your eye begin to break down and clump together, causing cloudiness and blurred vision. This breakdown can be attributed to various factors including aging, UV exposure, smoking, diabetes and certain medications.
As cataracts progress, they can interfere with your ability to see clearly and perform daily tasks. But don't worry—early detection and intervention are key to managing cataracts and preserving your vision.
If you're experiencing symptoms like cloudy or dim vision, schedule an eye exam with us today. We'll evaluate your eyes and discuss personalized treatment options to help you see clearly again! 👓✨

👀🔍 Wondering what's behind blurry vision? Let's explore!
👓 Refractive Errors: Blurry vision can result from common refractive errors like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) or astigmatism. These conditions occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing properly on the retina.
👁️ Eye Conditions: Various eye conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, can cause blurry vision as they affect the clarity of your eyesight.
💧 Dry Eyes: Insufficient tear production or poor tear quality can lead to dry eyes, causing discomfort and blurred vision, particularly when focusing on tasks like reading or using digital screens.
😴 Eye Fatigue: Extended periods of reading, computer use or driving without breaks can strain your eyes, resulting in temporary blurry vision and discomfort.
💊 Medications: Certain medications or medical treatments may cause temporary or permanent changes in vision, leading to blurred vision as a side effect.

If you're experiencing blurry vision, it's essential to schedule an eye exam with us. We'll assess your eyes and recommend appropriate treatment to address the underlying cause and restore clear vision! 👓✨
