- Macular DegenerationThe macula is the portion of the retina that provides sharp, central vision. Its breakdown is called macular degeneration, and can lead to vision loss and potentially blindness.
- Laser Eye SurgeryMyopia is typically treated with corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses and in certain cases refractive surgery such as LASIK or PRK is an option. Surgery is the most risky treatment as it requires permanently changing the shape of the cornea. Other treatments involve implanting a lens that reshapes the cornea called a phakic intra-ocular lens or vision therapy. A treatment called Ortho-k, in which the patient wears corneal reshaping contact lenses at night to see without correction during the day can be another option.
- CataractsSunglasses are important to wear all year round, whether it’s bright and sunny or overcast. The sun’s harmful UV rays can increase your risk of developing eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration. They penetrate through clouds, so be sure to sport your sunglasses even on gloomy winter days. Sunglasses can also shield your eyes from cold winds that cause dryness and discomfort.
