This affects your peripheral vision extremely slowly, completely imperceptible to you. Left untreated, this condition will most likely eventually cause continual damage that will lead to total vision loss. The good news is that our doctors monitor for this condition during your yearly eye exam. If we find any early signs or risk factors for glaucoma then we will request more in depth testing to ensure our doctors can preventively protect your vision and eyes.

Now imagine seeing that way every time you open your eyes. Cataracts, or clouding of the lens, not only creates an unsightly opaque eye, but also inhibits and obscures your vision. The good news is, most cataracts develop slowly and do not obscure your vision until they are more advanced. That said, cataracts, if left untreated, will advance and you'll inevitably risk vision obstruction or even loss.

For patients suffering from presbyopia (loss of up-close vision), this revolutionary procedure can change your life. As most people age, their ability to see up-close diminishes. That's why many people over the age of 50 require the use of reading glasses. This is inconvenient and annoying for patients who can otherwise see clearly, as it requires them to continually reach for their glasses, only to remove them when they're not reading or looking at objects close up.

Early identification of myopia, hyperopia astigmatism, lazy eye or eye teaming difficulties can have an enormous impact on their growth and development. Kids suffering from even minor vision problems have less success in school and learning in the classroom. They may also struggle when playing sports, since vision and hand-eye coordination relies are essential for peak sports performance. For every age group, eye exams differ. This is due to a number of factors, including the patient's ability to contribute verbally, progressing motor skills, and common eye conditions found among different age groups.

Red eye can be caused by a host of things including viral and bacterial infections, but the most common cause of red eyes is allergic conjunctivitis. The highest density of allergy cells in the body is located in the eyes. Therefore, when a person encounters an allergen from the environment, like pollen, dust, etc, the eye sets off an allergic cascade of inflammation. This cascade of allergic inflammation contains histamine and other chemical mediators that cause swelling, red eye, glossy eye, itching, watering, and eyelid swelling.
