Do I Really Need Prism Glasses?
July 31, 2021
Eye doctors usually recommend prism glasses to patients who struggle with double vision, blurred vision, headaches, or other symptoms caused by slight eye misalignment. Prism correction helps correct eye alignment so that you only see one clear image. The prism added to your glasses bends light before it reaches your eye. The light is then redirected to the proper place on the retina of each eye. In effect, your brain fuses the two images to create one clear image.

Benefits of Being an Independent Practice

Three years ago, we made the decision to become a truly Independent Practice by ending our contract with discount vision plans and providing eyecare services as an out-of-network provider.

What Are Signs and Symptoms of Eye Misalignment?
May 31, 2021
In an ideal world, our eyes – which are two separate entities – will work in perfect synchronization. However, the reality is that many people find that their eyes don’t cooperate as well as they could. There are a variety of reasons why this might happen, from eye injuries or disease to brain or problems at birth. Oftentimes, when the eyes don’t work together perfectly it’s because they are misaligned.

How much time do you spend each day using digital devices?

We only have one life so it’s important to take care of our physical and mental health so that we can live it to the fullest.

Glaucoma: Early Diagnosis & Treatment
March 31, 2021
Glaucoma isn’t actually a single disease, but the name given to a group of conditions, all of which result in increased pressure within the eye. This excess pressure causes damage to the optic nerve, which leads to progressive vision loss, starting with peripheral vision. This damage will continue to get worse until treatment to lower the pressure within the eyes is effective. Unfortunately, any vision that is lost due to glaucoma is permanent and cannot be reversed.
