We have 3 different types of tears that do a lot to help our eyes—and our hearts—but sometimes they need a little support, too.

When you experience issues like burning, red eyes, or an overabundance of tears, your tears might be failing to keep your eyes hydrated. We can help with that.

Book an appointment to get a diagnosis of your symptoms and personal support for your tears.

Kids are just as susceptible to digital eye strain as adults, and in some cases, using screens for long periods of time may also increase kids' risk of developing other eye conditions, like myopia and dry eye disease.

Kids can benefit from a little extra help and guidance while using screens. Encourage your child to take short vision breaks every 20 minutes, and help them adjust their screen settings and position for their needs.

Don't forget to schedule regular eye exams as well. Annual eye exams are crucial for monitoring kids' vision and eye health as they grow.

Some research shows that children who spend more time outside may be less likely to develop myopia (nearsightedness)—and that's just one benefit of getting up and out of the house. Spending time outside at the park, walking through the woods, or even playing in the backyard can help you and your whole family stay healthy and happy.

While genetics plays a significant role in myopia (nearsightedness), certain interventions can help control eye growth that leads to blurry distant vision.

Specialized contacts like orthokeratology (ortho-k) multifocals, myopia control eyeglass lenses, and atropine drops can help slow myopia progression.

Don't let myopia dictate your child's future vision. Visit us to explore how you can take proactive steps toward managing and controlling this condition.
