Combatting Eye Fatigue
Do you experience burning, itching eyes after a long day staring at a computer screen? Or maybe you drive for hours and struggle with headaches and double vision. Each of these symptoms may be due to eye fatigue.
Our optometrists at Family Vision Center can perform an evaluation to determine the cause. We will check if an underlying eye condition is making your fatigue worse. Then, we’ll provide expert tips to prevent or decrease eye fatigue going forward. Don't let uncomfortable symptoms get in the way of your productivity and comfort!
Fixing Refractive Errors
Having trouble seeing things sharply, both near and far? Are you getting headaches and eye pain when straining to see? You might be experiencing a refractive error such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, or astigmatism. This means that your eye is not properly focusing light, which results in blurry vision.
We will provide a comprehensive eye exam to identify any refractive errors. After a diagnosis, we can recommend prescription glasses or contacts for your vision needs.
Caring for Diabetic Eyes
If you have diabetes, it's crucial to get regular dilated eye exams. Diabetic retinopathy is a serious condition, which damages the back of the eye and can lead to vision loss or blindness.
Our optometrists specialize in diabetic eye care. With dilated exams, we can detect retinopathy early, which is when treatment is most effective. Dilated eye exams use eye drops to widen the pupils, giving us a clear view of the retina and other internal eye structures. Along with that, these exams allow for early detection of other conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Treating Eye Allergies and Infections
Eye allergies occur when the eyes react to allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander, causing symptoms such as itching, redness, and watering. Infections, on the other hand, are typically caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi and can lead to symptoms like redness, discharge, and swelling. Both conditions require proper diagnosis and treatment to relieve symptoms and prevent further complications.
