When you notice an issue with your eyesight, the change is usually significant enough that you must visit the eye doctor. The difference in the quality of vision and life after you get your eyewear is often life-changing. Often, many people will not replace their eyeglasses as recommended if they can still see well enough to navigate the world. But this can be a challenge. Many times, the reduction in vision is gradual, making it hard to notice the change. 

It is important that your optometrist continues to evaluate the health of your eyes in relation to wearing a medical device (contact lens) on the eye over a longer period of time. There are times where certain contact lenses may not be viable options anymore for you as a patient and changes need to be made. There are also times where if enough damage has occurred from contact lens abuse, a contact lens prescription may be denied all together as it may be deemed unsafe. Having your eyes checked every year will allow your optometrist to carefully evaluate your eye health and ensure that contact lenses are still safe for you to use.

Presbyopia is a common condition that affects many people as they age. Typically most people will experience the start of symptoms of presbyopia between the ages of 38-45 years old.

In this blog post, we will discuss the causes, symptoms, and treatments of presbyopia.

Pediatric eye exams are an important part of maintaining your child's overall health and well-being. By detecting potential vision problems early on, regular eye exams can help ensure that your child's eyes stay healthy and that they are able to reach their full potential in academic and social settings. It is important to note that as children grow and develop, often their vision plays a large role in guiding their learning and cognitive capabilities. By having a yearly eye exam, your eye doctor can ensure that your child's eyes are developing properly and if not, guide them back on the correct developmental path.
