Cataract surgery is one of the most successful procedures in all of medicine, and for most people the results feel close to miraculous.

Most parents come to expect a familiar routine. Each year the eye exam comes around, the prescription has crept up again, and you walk out with a stronger pair of glasses than the year before.

If you have ever read the letters off a chart at school, at the DMV, or in a doctor's office and been told your vision looks fine, it is natural to assume your eyes got a clean bill of health.

You find a pair of sunglasses you love, put them on, and within an hour they are either creeping down your nose or squeezing your head like a vice.

A great pair of glasses can feel like it disappears on your face, light enough to forget you are wearing it and clear enough that you never think about the lenses at all.

When it comes to correcting your vision, you have more good options than ever.

Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eyes' ability to focus on things up close, and it tends to become noticeable somewhere around the early to mid 40s.

Walking into an optical boutique and seeing wall after wall of frames can feel a little overwhelming, because nearly every pair looks appealing in its own way.

Most people think of diabetes as a blood sugar problem, what far fewer people realize is that the same elevated blood sugar quietly goes to work on the delicate blood vessels inside the eye.

Diabetes can result in several complications, and one of those is vision loss or blindness. By getting regular eye exams, you can prevent or delay vision loss caused by diabetes.

One of the reasons to see your optometrist for an eye exam is to be evaluated for signs of glaucoma. Glaucoma is a leading causes of vision loss and blindness in the US.
