Can you put on eye drops while wearing contacts?
If wearing soft contact lenses only use eye drops approved for use with soft lenses. If wearing gas permeable lenses, most over the counter drops can be safely used unless not recommended by your doctor. READ MORE
How can blurry vision be corrected?
Causes of blurred vision vary with age. Young people primarily experience blurred vision due to a need for glasses correction. But other conditions can be the cause. Again the need for spectacle/contact lenses is the main cause of blurred vision until the 40’s. At this time in life, even those blessed with good vision begin to have difficulty focusing up close. This is caused by a decrease in the eye’s ability to change focus from distance to near objects. As we age there is the increasing chance that cataract, clouding of the natural lens, will be the cause of blurred vision. Cataracts can even occur in the young and may be present at birth. Glaucoma, a condition of abnormal eye pressure can affect vision at any age. Lastly, general medical conditions such as diabetes or other chemical imbalances can be the cause. Other issues such as problems located in the brain can also result in visual changes. As with any problem or change, blurred vision should be investigated by seeing an ophthalmologist. READ MORE
