Winter is a beautiful season with its chilly breezes and snowflakes falling from the sky. But for some people, winter can also be the season for dry and itchy eyes. The winter air can make your eyes feel dry and uncomfortable, leading to irritation, redness, and itching. Dry eyes in winter can happen to anyone, […]
Orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses are specialty contacts designed for myopia control in children and young adults. They’re worn overnight and gently reshape the cornea to change how light reflects inside the eye, reducing the need for glasses during the day. They have also been shown to slow myopia progression by about 41–45% in children aged 7–13. […]
Have you ever been looking at something bright, such as computer or television screen, and suddenly something seems to float across your vision? Floaters are microscopic particles in the fluid inside your eye, and if they pass between the light entering the front of the eye and the retina at the back of your eye, […]

The usual result is blurred vision of objects in the distance, with clearer focus on objects nearer to the observer. Myopia is a very common vision […]
Hyperopia or far-sightedness is a vision condition that occurs when light entering the pupil is not bent or refracted to the correct angle and gathers on a tighter than normal grouping on the retina. The usual result is blurred vision of objects near the observer, with clearer focus on objects farther away. While a common […]
When the cornea, the clear front surface of your eye containing the iris and pupil, is not formed correctly or curved irregularly, the condition is known as astigmatism. Common results include blurred vision at various differences, as light passing through the cornea is refracted and deflected at odd angles. It is not uncommon for nearly […]
Crossed eyes or wandering eyes are known as strabismus, where a patient cannot align both eyes simultaneously during regular daily activities. The common result is where one eye will seem to be “locked on” to the object of focus, while the other eye will be turned in, out, up or down in relation to the […]
Presbyopia is a vision condition experienced by almost all adults over the age of 45 at some point. As your eyes age, the lens at the front of the eye loses its flexibility and begins to make close focus activities such as reading or using a smartphone more difficult. Even adults experiencing myopia and hyperopia […]
