Your eyes are constantly changing. Even if you’ve had great vision your entire life, you can start to develop different vision problems/conditions as you grow older. It’s just a fact of life. The good news is that by having regular eye exams, your eye doctor can monitor any changes occurring within your eyes (even if there are no outward symptoms). The sooner problems are detected, the sooner treatment can be administered.

Here are some situations where we can help:
Do you suffer from constantly itchy, watery eyes?
It may seem strange, but if your eyes are constantly watering and itchy, you may actually have a condition called dry eye! Your first reaction may be to get over-the-counter eye drops for relief. These may work temporarily, but if you truly have an underlying condition that is preventing your eyes from producing enough tears or if there is a blockage in your eyelid glands, retail eye drops may not help. The first step is to determine what is causing your symptoms so the right treatment can be given. Scheduling a routine eye exam with our optometrists can help you diagnose the issue. There are many different options for relief such as eye drops, masks, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, nutritional supplements, punctal plugs and more. You can read all about these options and learn about the different types of dry eye by clicking here.
Has your vision become increasingly cloudy, yellowed or dull-colored?
Cataracts are inevitable for most people as they grow older. In fact, there is no way to really prevent your eye lenses from developing a build-up of natural proteins (cataracts). This gradual process will slowly start to impact your vision – making your eyesight cloudy, burry, yellowed and dull-colored. You may even start to experience double vision. The good news is that cataract surgery is a very safe and effective way to restore clear vision. And with the wide range of replacement lens options on the market today, you may even be able to see without glasses – even reading glasses – after surgery. Our friendly optometrists are able to diagnose cataracts and talk to you about your options. Learn more about cataracts and cataract surgery by clicking here.
Have you been experiencing vision changes lately?
You really don’t want to ignore vision changes – even if they seem minor. The truth is that some vision conditions like glaucoma don’t have any outward symptoms until the later stages of the disease. And if you are at a greater risk of developing an eye problem (diabetic or have a family history of eye disease), having regular eye exams can help protect and preserve your eyesight. If you experience anything such as dark spots in your vision or blurriness, contact our team right away to schedule an eye exam.
