Can contact lenses be worn by an 8-year-old?
It is possible if your 8-year-old has enough dexterity and ability to essentially touch his eye and hold his eyelid to get the lens in. It is usually a little too young for the vast majority of 8-year-olds and he probably should only use them for activities. Good luck! READ MORE
What is the reason for double vision following an accident?
It could be nerve damage to the muscles that move the eye, damage to the muscles that move the eye or scar tissue around the eye. It should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist sooner rather than later as some issues need to be resolved ideally within two weeks of the injury READ MORE
My eye looks different because of my astigmatism. Anything I can do?
Astigmatism simply means that the shape of your eye is not perfectly round. It does not cause an appearance change from one eye to the other. You should be seen by an ophthalmologist to see why one eye appears different than another. READ MORE
Anything to watch out for when using glaucoma eye drops?
