What care and precaution do I need to take for my son's cylindrical vision?
I recommend following what your Optometrist recommended for the wearing schedule of his glasses. Sometimes the astigmatism increases as we age due to no fault of our own. READ MORE
What are the best foods for healthy eyes?
Tablets and smartphones emit a decent amount of blue light. Dark green leafy veggies and carrots have some nutrients which are beneficial for the part of the eye most affected by the blue light. Always best to try to limit the screen time, and keep the screen at least at 16 inches from the face for a tablet READ MORE
After removing the spectacles, the eyes look crossed. How to correct them?
Follow up with your local Optometrist and have them observe your eyes with and without your glasses on. Depending on the results they can provide you with some suggestions. READ MORE
I am experiencing eye strain from overusing computers. What to do?
The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends the 20/20/20 rule. Roughly every 20 minutes look at something 20ft or more away for 20 seconds to allow your eyes to rest. READ MORE
How can I get my eyes more accustomed to contact lenses?
Contacts should not cause pain. If they are troubling you have your optometrist check your eyes for dryness or see if you need to try a different brand to increase your comfort. READ MORE
How often should we ideally visit an optometrist?
AOA recommends a yearly eye exam with dilation to check the health of the eye. READ MORE
What is the difference between optometrist and an ophthalmologist?
The main difference is the schooling. Ophthalmologists go to medical school and can preform surgeries on the eye, such as LASIK and cataract removal. Optometrists go to Optometry school, and while they are commonly thought of as being able to only prescribe glasses/contacts, we can also treat a wide variety of ocular conditions (i.e.. glaucoma, infections, etc.) We cannot, however, preform surgery on the eye. There are advancements being made to change that in the future though. READ MORE
I had corrective eye surgery, but I still can't read without glasses. Is something wrong?
Corrective eye surgery is most commonly done to correct distance vision. Depending on your age, you may be approaching the point in life where you need reading glasses to help your near vision. Check in with your local Optometrist to see if that is the case. READ MORE
My son has been having a yellowish discharge from his eyes. What could this be?
It is possible it is an infection. Whenever there is a goopy colored discharge from the eye it is always best to be examined by an Optometrist to see if medication is necessary. READ MORE
My refractive error in both the eyes is about 6. Can you please suggest a possible treatment?
Depending on the health of the rest of your eye, you can look into contact lenses. Or if CL are not your speed, you can consider refractive surgery to attempt to fully correct your vision. READ MORE
Can blood pressure medicines cause blurred vision?
Yes, many systemic medications (including BP meds) have a side effect of blurred vision, and sometimes from dry eyes. Check with your local optometrist to make sure everything else in your vision system is healthy. READ MORE
Why does my eyesight get worse every year?
Not necessarily an underlying problem, depending on your age our eyes tend to change a little bit as we get older until we reach a sort of plateau. It is common, and annoying for patients, for their prescription to change even a little bit each year. However, it never hurts to follow up with your PCP and make sure your health is in order.
