Comments from a mom whose daughter completed Vision Therapy in August ’17:

Assessing someone’s vision is just a small part of a full eye exam. True, things may seem like they’re functioning well, but sometimes an underlying issue is waiting to take over.

“Pink eye” is a generalized term that is used to describe and eye that is irritated and red. There are many causes that can lead to this condition, and the treatments are just as varied.

Summer has come to an end, so it’s time to put the sunglasses away-right? Actually, there is a higher risk of UV exposure in the winter.

Macular degeneration (AMD) occurs when the structure of the central seeing part of the eye (the macula) starts to change and degrade. We can see yellowish specs called drusen, which when sufficient in number, can cause distortion and loss of acuity. In more advanced stages, there can be more generalized scarring, or at its worse, the development of blood vessels that eventually bleeds and cause massive vision loss. The former is referred as “dry”, since there is no leakage or bleeding. Once fluid and blood is present, it is then categorized as wet. Unfortunately, we are limited in treatments. The only major developments have been for the wet form, where ocular injections of specific medications that help with the bleeding are done. Therefore, prevention is the best route to take.
