👁️ Seeing things that aren’t really there?

You’re not going crazy — it could be Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS).

CBS happens when vision loss causes your brain to fill in missing details, creating vivid images or hallucinations. You’re not alone and it’s not a mental illness.

👁️ Seeing “stars” or static even with your eyes closed? That could be Visual Snow Syndrome — a neurological condition, not an eye problem. It can cause constant visual noise, ringing in the ears, brain fog, and even migraine symptoms. Understanding it is the first step to finding relief.

👁️ PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to improve sight. Unlike LASIK, it doesn’t require creating a flap — the laser works directly on the corneal surface. This approach preserves corneal nerves, making it ideal for patients with dry eyes. PRK offers clear vision with a simpler, surface-based method and lasting results.

When vision loss limits daily life, it can deeply affect mood and independence. But when sight is restored — even partially — everything changes. Patients often regain confidence, joy, and connection. Clear vision doesn’t just brighten what you see — it brightens how you feel.

👁️ Patients with astigmatism—when the front of the eye is shaped more like a football than a basketball—often experience blurred or distorted vision. During cataract surgery, we can correct astigmatism using advanced techniques and high-definition lenses. This not only restores clarity but can also reduce the need for glasses, giving patients sharper vision both near and far.

👁️ Poor vision can affect more than just what you see. It can impact how you feel. Many people with vision loss withdraw from social activities and lose confidence in daily life. Restoring clear vision often helps patients reconnect, feel happier, and enjoy life again.

👁️ Clear vision supports more than just sight — it strengthens the mind. Studies show that patients who undergo cataract surgery experience up to 30% lower rates of dementia and Alzheimer’s compared to those who don’t. When you improve your vision, you’re also protecting your memory and cognitive health.

👁️ Ever seen “static” in your vision—like an old TV screen that never clears? That could be Visual Snow Syndrome. It’s not an eye problem, but a neurological condition that affects how the brain processes visual signals. The result? Constant visual “snow,” even when your eyes are closed.

✨ Did you know migraines can affect your vision? Some people experience visual auras — shimmering lights, sparkles, or kaleidoscope-like patterns — before the headache begins. These episodes can last from a few minutes to an hour and may even make reading or driving difficult.

Dr. John Michaelos explains what’s happening in your vision during a migraine aura and why it’s important to recognize these early signs.

👁️ Wondering if you need LASIK or cataract surgery? Both improve vision but in different ways. LASIK reshapes the cornea, while cataract surgery replaces the eye’s cloudy natural lens. Each helps you see clearly and reduces dependence on glasses or contacts.

👁️ Cataract surgery is a quick, painless procedure that restores clear vision. With numbing drops and no discomfort, the surgery takes less than five minutes. Most patients notice improvement as soon as the next day — seeing the world more clearly and comfortably once again.
