We can't overstate this: early detection of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) does save sight. When early signs of AMD are present in the eye, before vision loss, there are steps that can be taken to slow or stop progression. Annual eye exams along with maintaining good health are so important in maintaining good vision throughout your lifetime.

AMD risk factors include being over the 50, smoking, white race and family history of AMD. You can reduce your risk: don't smoke, exercise regularly, maintain normal blood pressure & cholesterol and eat a healthy diet rich in leafy greens, colorful vegies and fish. Have your eyes examined annually. Early signs of AMD can be detected in an eye exam and steps taken to improve outcomes.

Cold air, less moisture, indoor heating, wind exposure, short daylight hours all contribute to cold-weather eye issues. These issues can include dry eyes, increased irritation and sensitivity, increased UV exposure and blurred vision. Some tips: Consider using artificial tears for dryness, be sure to wear sunglasses (even on cloudy days), stay hydrated and try to increase indoor humidity.

Interested in contact lenses and wondering if they're safe? When used properly, contact lenses are very safe. The key is following care instructions carefully: wash your hands before handling lenses, use fresh solution daily, replace lenses as directed, and never sleep in contacts unless they’re specifically approved for overnight wear. Improper use can lead to serious infections, so please follow our guidance closely.

Glaucoma is called the “Silent Thief of Sight”. Don’t wait for symptoms of this disease because once symptoms are noticed, the damage is already done and vision loss is irreversible. In the most common form of glaucoma, there are virtually no symptoms. Vision loss begins with peripheral or side vision and may not be noticed until significant vision is lost.

Can too much screen time damage your eyes? Extended screen use won’t cause permanent damage, but it does lead to digital eye strain. Symptoms include dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and neck pain. We recommend the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Adjusting screen brightness, using artificial tears, and ensuring proper lighting can also help.
