Keratoconus Treatment
Keratoconus occurs when the cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape, causing distorted vision. Using the latest technology, we can provide you with keratoconus contact lenses that will fit comfortably on your eyes, allowing you to see clearly again.
Myopia Treatment
Myopia treatment includes a range of services that can help to slow the progression of myopia, also known as nearsightedness. If left untreated, myopia can lead to more serious eye conditions such as glaucoma or cataracts.
We can help treat your myopia with multifocal glasses and contact lenses. We also specialize in corneal reshaping using ortho-k lenses (orthokeratology).

Do You Have Night Vision Glare?
If you’re having issues with seeing at night, you’re not alone. Millions of people across the globe are struggling with the same problem. In some instances, it’s caused by nearsightedness, which can be fixed with prescription glasses. In other cases, it may be the result of a deeper issue. Browse the following section to learn more about the causes of night vision glare.
Cataracts
In the eye, the lens is right behind the pupil. As you age, cells grow and die. While this doesn’t hurt, it can slowly cloud the lens. One of the first signs of a cataract is worsening night vision. This happens because the cataract distorts the light that comes into your eyes, causing you to see halos around lights.
Lack of Vitamin A
In some cases, night vision glare can be caused by a lack of vitamin A. It’s essential in keeping your retina strong and healthy. While most people get enough in their diet, certain health issues can make it more difficult for the body to absorb nutrients.
Not Enough Zinc
Without zinc, vitamin A is not able to work as it should. This can result in night blindness. To prevent issues, make sure there’s plenty of beef, poultry, beans, and nuts in your diet.
Retinitis Pigmentosa
This rare genetic disorder affects young people, generally before the age of 30. One of the earliest symptoms is a decline in night vision. While some people go completely blind, others only lose some of their vision.
Sunlight Exposure
Too much sunlight can increase the risk of cataract development. In order to prevent this, always wear your sunglasses when you’re out and about in the sun.
Diabetes
While you may not realize it, having diabetes can increase the chances of night vision glare. Over time, high blood pressure damages the blood vessels and nerves in the eye, which causes a condition called retinopathy. If you’re struggling to see in low light, whether it’s inside or outside, it’s important to speak with one of our eye doctors.
