Transformative Treatments for Eye Conditions
Precision Solutions for Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common refractive error caused by the cornea or lens of the eye being irregularly shaped, causing blurred or distorted vision. This eye condition can cause difficulty focusing on near and distant objects, leading to strain and discomfort. During an eye exam, our optometrists can precisely diagnose your astigmatism degree and offer tailor treatment options, such as eyeglasses, toric lenses, or LASIK surgery, to provide clear, crisp vision.
Effective Relief for Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears is poor, leading to discomfort, redness, and irritation. Environmental factors, underlying health issues like autoimmune disease, and hormonal imbalances in women can trigger low-quality and quantity tears. However, the most significant underlying factor in the development of dry eye is meibomian gland dysfunction, which happens when the oil glands become blocked, resulting in tears that don't lubricate the eyes. We offer detailed evaluations to understand the root cause of your dry eye condition and provide treatments such as artificial tears, lifestyle adjustments, and advanced therapies for long-lasting relief.
Myopia Management
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error where close objects are clear, but distant objects appear blurry. This happens when the eyeball is too long or the cornea has excessive curvature, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Symptoms of myopia are squinting, headaches, and difficulty in recognizing distant faces or road signs. To treat myopia, we begin with a comprehensive assessment of your eye structure and visual acuity. Then, we offer tailored solutions, such as prescription glasses, contact lenses, or myopia control therapies, to manage and slow down the progression of myopia effectively — especially in children.
Presbyopia Treatment
This age-related condition affects the eye's ability to focus on close objects, typically around 40. It happens as the eye's lens loses flexibility, making reading or performing tasks requiring near vision challenging. Many people rely on reading glasses to correct near vision, but they often have to switch to their prescription glasses to see at a far distance, which can be frustrating. Our optometrists offer progressive lenses, bifocals, or multifocal contact lenses to help you see clearly at all distances without switching between glasses.
Advanced Keratoconus Care
Keratoconus, a progressive eye disorder, causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone shape, leading to distorted vision. We use advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to address this condition precisely, including specialty contact lenses for clear and comfortable vision for this hard-to-fit condition.
