What exactly is a cataract? 👇

A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens — something most people develop over time. ☁️

As the lens gradually yellows and hardens, vision becomes blurry, colors fade, and everyday tasks can feel less clear.

While cataracts often appear between the late 50s and 70s, they can also progress faster in those with diabetes or prolonged steroid use.

The good news? Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective procedures in modern medicine — restoring clarity and improving quality of life.

If you’ve noticed cloudy or dim vision, it might be time for an eye exam.

Did you know microscopic mites can live in your eyelashes? 👇

It’s called Demodex Blepharitis — an inflammatory condition caused by an overgrowth of tiny mites that live inside eyelash follicles. 🦠

Symptoms can include itching, redness, burning, and tearing of the eyes.

During an eye exam, doctors can identify these mites using a slit lamp and confirm the diagnosis under the microscope.

The good news? There’s an effective treatment available.

A prescription eye drop used twice a day for six weeks can help eliminate mites and bring long-lasting relief.

If you’ve been struggling with eyelid irritation or persistent redness, it’s time to get checked.

Early diagnosis and treatment make all the difference.

October is Vision Awareness Month 👁️

Some eye diseases show no early warning signs — until it’s too late. Don’t let silent eye conditions steal your sight.

A simple yearly eye exam can help detect and protect against:
• Glaucoma – often symptom-free in its early stages
• Macular Degeneration – a leading cause of vision loss
• Diabetic Eye Disease – linked to diabetes complications

With early detection, our specialists can provide advanced treatments — including life-changing eye surgery — to help you protect what matters most: your vision.
