While many people first notice vision changes when they’re young, myopia can continue to progress well into the teen years and even adulthood. And for some adults, myopia may appear for the first time due to lifestyle factors, visual demands, or other health conditions. Whether you're a parent noticing your teen squinting or an adult finding it harder to see street signs at night, recognizing the signs of myopia is essential for long-term eye health.

Our modern environment has changed the way we use our eyes - and not always for the better. Conditions like myopia (nearsightedness) and dry eye syndrome are on the rise, and studies show that environmental factors play a major role in both. Understanding how your surroundings affect your vision is the first step toward protecting it.

Dry eye disease is a common and often frustrating condition that can interfere with your comfort, vision, and overall quality of life. While at-home remedies can offer some relief, in-office treatments provide advanced solutions that target the root cause of the problem.

While many adults think their vision stabilizes over time, changes in eye health during the later stages of life can lead to shifts in prescription or more serious conditions related to high myopia.

Chronic dry eye is a condition that affects millions of people, often interfering with their daily comfort and quality of life. While age and certain medical conditions can contribute to dry eye, many people are surprised to learn that their lifestyle choices can play a significant role in both causing and worsening symptoms.

If you or your child are nearsighted and tired of dealing with glasses or daily contact lenses, there’s a unique solution you may not have heard of yet: orthokeratology, often shortened to Ortho-K.
