Common Eye Conditions
Annual eye examinations will help manage and maintain optimum eye health.
Hyperopia
Hyperopia is a common vision condition in adults. People with hyperopia must squint to see nearby objects. Reading, writing, computer work, or drawing for long periods of time may cause eye strain and headache. Treatment options include eyeglasses, contact lenses, and surgery such as LASIK.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common vision problem caused by an error in the shape of the cornea. With astigmatism, the lens of the eye or the cornea, which is the front surface of the eye, has an irregular curve. This can change the way light passes, or refracts, to your retina. This causes blurry, fuzzy, or distorted vision.
Color Blindness
Color blindness, also known as a color deficiency, occurs when you are unable to see colors in a normal way. Color blindness often happens when someone cannot distinguish between certain colors. This usually happens between greens and reds, and occasionally blues.
Dry Eyes
Dry eye occurs when the eye does not produce tears properly. Dry eye can make it more difficult to perform some activities, such as using a computer or reading for an extended period of time.
Myopia
Otherwise known as nearsightedness, is a condition where objects up close appear clearly, while objects far away appear blurry, you might squint or frown when trying to see distant objects clearly. Myopia is a condition that can easily be managed with prescription glasses.
Pink Eye
“Pink eye,” also called conjunctivitis, is the inflammation of the clear covering of the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. It is easily treated and with a few precautions can be avoided.
