Don’t forget to schedule an eye exam when you’re working on your back-to-school lists!

We want to help you make sure those carefully chosen frames of yours are just as carefully taken care of.

In the medical field, sometimes it feels like the more confusing the word is, the simpler the condition. For example, you most definitely suffered from sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia at some point in your childhood, though your friends called it something different. Astigmatism is just like that. Despite the confusing name, it really just means your eye is not as perfectly round as it should be.

You may have had your glasses for years and still be able to see fairly clearly out of them. Because your glasses are helping your eyesight, you may not realize that the condition of your eyes themselves has changed. Changes are often gradual and, therefore, hard to notice.

As you age, you may notice changes in your vision, such as trouble reading the menu at a restaurant or adjusting the font to the larger size on your phone. Most people find that even if they didn’t need glasses before, as they get older, having a good pair of reading glasses becomes a must-have. This is because, as we age, the lenses in our eyes naturally lose their flexibility making it more difficult for our eyes to focus and see as clearly as they did when we were younger.
