Some eye problems — including Glare and halos are both eye symptoms that some people experience around bright lights. Halos show up as bright circles around a light source. Glare is light that interferes with your vision, making it difficult to see or sometimes making your eyes water. These symptoms can show up at any time of the The eye has many parts that work together to create vision. The eyes themselves are only part of “seeing.” The brain is also involved. The eyes, though, begin the complex process of vision by gathering, focusing and passing on visual information to the brain. To help you learn how the eye works, Prescription goggles provide a better option. The eyewear features lenses that not only contain your exact prescription, but are designed to endure blows without shattering. Prescription goggles offer these important features: Adding tinted lenses to your goggles can help you perform better. For example, wearing yellow-tinted goggles when you play tennis will make it easier to see the ball when it's in the air. Prescription goggles are a good idea for anyone who normally wears contacts or glasses, no matter what their age. They can help younger children feel more comfortable on the playing field and enhance their performance, but also offer important benefits for adults. Although prescription goggles may have been big and bulky in the past, today's models are lightweight and attractive. Prescription sports eyewear is recommended if you play or participate in: Have you ever wondered why your eye care provider spends so much time carefully examining your eyes? Although they are looking for diseases or conditions that can affect your vision during eye exams, he or she is also searching for signs that may indicate that you have a general health problem. These eight diseases often cause symptoms that can be seen in your eyes. When your blood sugar is high for a long period of time, the small blood vessels in your retina may begin to leak, causing a condition called diabetic retinopathy. The retina lines the back of your eye and sends light signals to the brain, where they're interpreted as images. When your vessels leak blood or fluid, your vision can become blurred, and you may lose central vision or the ability to see colors. If diabetic retinopathy progresses, new blood vessels form in the retina, worsening vision problems. Prompt treatment of diabetic retinopathy helps prevent permanent damage to your vision. Regular visits to your eye care provider not only helps protect your vision, but also safeguards your general health. If it's been a while since you've visited our office, give us a call to schedule an appointment. As part of your surgical procedure, you'll receive a conformer, a small device placed under your eyelid to help it keep its rounded shape. The conformer will be replaced with a prosthetic eye in a few weeks when you've fully healed from the procedure. Cleaning helps ensure that your eye remains comfortable. In most cases, you'll only need to remove and clean the eye about every three weeks, although your cleaning schedule will depend on your comfort level. Washing your hands thoroughly before handling the eye is essential to prevent irritation or infection of the tissues in your eye socket. Cleaning your prosthesis at home can help reduce debris and protein deposits, but you'll still need to visit an ocularist regularly for professional cleaning and polishing. Professional cleaning removes stubborn deposits and bacterial infiltration. Regular vision care will help keep your prosthetic eye and your natural eye in good condition. If it's been a while since you've had a vision exam, call us to schedule an appointment. Vision therapy involves an individualized treatment program that is designed to correct or improve visual deficiencies. Vision therapy includes different techniques and eye exercises (depending on the vision deficiency being treated), such as patching the stronger eye to force the brain to pay attention to signals transmitted from the amblyopic eye, eye alignment exercises and eye teaming activities, which help correct and enhance the brain’s ability to communicate with the eyes. It has been found to be far more successful in treating amblyopia than eye surgery or corrective glasses alone. The earlier a child with amblyopia enters vision therapy, the better. Research has long since disproven the popular belief that older children or even adults with amblyopia cannot be helped; however, it is best to begin treating amblyopia as soon as possible. Optometrists prescribe a variety of eye drops that work by either decreasing fluid production or improving drainage. In some cases, oral medication also helps lower the pressure in your eye. Surgery can help improve drainage in your eye and is the recommended treatment if you suddenly develop acute angle closure glaucoma. Both traditional and laser surgery is used to treat the disorder.
