Providing our community with the highest quality eye care
and personal service for over 20 years
We depend on our eyes for vision throughout our lives. It is normal for our eyes and vision to change as we age. We must be proactive
in maintaining the health of our eyes by having regular comprehensive eye exams. Vision problems may be corrected through the use
of contact lenses, corrective eyeglasses and refractive surgeries .
Nearsightedness, or myopia, is a condition in which
nearby objects are seen clearly, but distant ones are blurred. Nearsightedness can be inherited and is often discovered during childhood.
Farsightedness,
or hyperopia, causes distant objects to be seen clearly, but close objects to appear blurred. Farsightedness often runs in families.
Astigmatism usually
occurs when the cornea has an irregular curvature. The cornea is curved more in one direction, causing blurry vision. Astigmatism
can cause blurry vision at all distances, and it often occurs along with farsightedness or nearsightedness.
Presbyopia is the normal aging process of the lens of the eye. It is the loss of elasticity of the lens that occurs with aging, causing
difficulty focusing at close ranges. Presbyopia usually becomes significant after the age of 40.
