Featured Eye Care Services Offered By Our Optometrist
Myopia Management
Myopia is a condition which causes difficulty focusing on objects at a distance while near vision remains normal. Myopia is one of the most common vision problems worldwide and it is on the rise.
Specialty Contact Lenses
It is not uncommon for patients to have difficulty wearing contact lenses for a number of reasons. A specialized fitting with an eye doctor who knows your condition will help you find the right match.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Orthokeratology, commonly called ortho-k, is a method used to correct myopia or astigmatism by wearing contact lenses overnight, so that no corrective lenses are needed during daytime hours.
Ask Dr. Eric B. Zhou a Question
Blue light is part of visible light and has a wavelength close to UV rays on the light spectrum. It is naturally produced by the sun, given off by fluorescent light bulbs, and emitted by LED screens on computer monitors, tablets, and smartphones. The eye's natural filters do not block blue light and chronic exposure may increase your risk for age-related macular degeneration. Evidence also shows that blue light exposure can lead to sleep problems.
A cataract is a clouding of the crystalline lens. The crystalline lens sits behind the iris, or the colored part of the eye. Its function is to fine tune our focusing system by changing shape as we view objects at different distances. Our lens eventually loses its ability to change shape; this is when we require reading glasses or bifocals. In addition, the crystalline lens can become cloudy or yellow as a part of normal aging. This is also known as an age-related cataract. Normal, age-related cataracts are unavoidable and everyone will develop them at some point if they live long enough. The discoloration of the lens leads to an overall blur, a decrease in contrast sensitivity, and a worsening of glare, especially at nighttime. Because they tend to develop gradually, the symptoms are often unnoticed by the patient. A yearly eye exam will allow your optometrist the opportunity to identify the cataracts and advise on how to proceed. When you and your optometrist determine that your cataracts are affecting your vision and are advanced enough to require removal, you will meet with an ophthalmologist. Cataract surgery is a safe and effective out-patient procedure that will reverse any vision loss caused by the cataracts; and it is usually covered by your medical insurance.
Everyone has different eyes. Some people can wear contacts overnight while some patients are never good candidates for contacts. It is best to let your eye doctor determine which contacts are a good option for you.
