Understanding Axial Length in Myopia Axial length is the distance from the front to the back of the eye. In healthy eyes, this length is proportionate to the refractive power of the eye. However, in individuals prone to myopia, the axial length is often elongated, resulting in a shift in focus that leads to distant […]
How do Ortho-K lenses work? The cornea is a clear, dome-shaped window in the front of your eye that focuses light onto the retina and is responsible for most of the eye’s ability to focus. With Ortho-K vision technology, fully customized contact lenses are made to fit the exact shape of your eyes. As you […]
The Myopia Epidemic has become virtually impossible to ignore. By 2050, approximately half of the world’s total population (5 billion) will have some level of myopia and 938 million people will be affected by high myopia. High Myopia is defined as > -5D prescription. Even when appropriate spectacle correction is provided, the condition continues to […]
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common in children, and its progression can lead to serious eye health issues in adulthood. Up until 2010, the only options available to control myopia with spectacle-based strategies were progressive addition or bifocal spectacles. Fortunately, modern optical technology has introduced specialized lenses designed to slow down myopia progression while […]
In 86% of dry eye cases, the underlying root cause is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), which is essentially a disruption of the tear glands in the eyelids. Currently, Lipiflow is the only FDA-approved treatment available to treat MGD. Schedule a dry eye consultation with our optometrists today to learn if Lipiflow is the right treatment […]
Who can benefit from retinal imaging? What condition does retinal imaging help with diagnosing? Glaucoma Glaucoma is a progressive damage of the optical nerve that is often referred to as the “silent thief of sight” because it usually develops without symptoms. Unfortunately optic nerve damages are irreversible, but with the aid of retinal imaging technology […]
What Are Scleral Contact Lenses? Scleral contact lenses are advanced, large-diameter rigid lenses designed to vault completely over the cornea and rest gently on the white part of the eye (the sclera). They create a fluid-filled tear reservoir that provides exceptional comfort, stable vision, and protection for the eye’s surface. They are often the lens […]
