Be Careful When Buying Costume Contacts

Colored contact lenses are sometimes the perfect final touch to take a Halloween costume to the next level. Unfortunately, not all costume lenses are created equal — or with equal concern for wearer safety. With Halloween coming up, we want to give all of our costume-loving patients some guidan...

The Basics of AMD

For people age fifty and older, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of permanent vision loss. AMD is the gradual loss of central vision as the part of the retina with the highest concentration of photoreceptor cells (the macula, which is responsible for our detailed central ...

Corrective Lenses for Presbyopia

The older we get, the more the lenses in our eyes lose their flexibility. This is a process called presbyopia. It’s the main reason the majority of seniors need reading glasses even if they never needed corrective lenses before. Those of us who already need glasses to correct nearsightedness en...

What Is Glaucoma?

So many intricate parts have to work together to make clear eyesight possible. This is because the human eye is incredibly complex, but the trouble is that just one thing going wrong can seriously compromise a person’s vision health. One example that might not seem obvious to most people is the...

Helping Child Vision Development

Did you know that babies have to learn how to see? It might seem strange, since using our eyes is something we do automatically all day, but babies need to develop a number of visual skills in order to effectively use their eyes and process what they’re seeing, just like they have to learn how ...

Protecting Your Eyes in Winter Conditions

We might get more hours of daylight in the summer, but sunglasses are important in winter too! Harmful UV rays can do just as much damage on a snowy mountainside as on a sandy beach. Our skin might be protected by layers of snow gear in winter, but our eyes are still vulnerable if we aren’t car...

The Impacts of Smoking on Eyesight

A smoking habit damages every organ and system in the body, including the eyes. We typically think of lung cancer as the main health risk associated with smoking, and then maybe oral health problems next, but the parts of the body that have direct contact with the smoke aren’t the only ones hur...

How Diabetes Impacts Eyesight

One of the many things diabetes can impact when it isn’t carefully controlled is eyesight. Whether it’s type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes (which functions like type 2 while it lasts), the risk of developing a variety of eye diseases (including cataracts, diabetic macular edema, diabetic...
