Presbyopia correction can now be as simple as a drop.💧

Do you struggle to read things up close?
Presbyopia is a natural, age-related change in vision. It happens when the eye’s lens gradually loses flexibility, making it harder to focus on nearby objects.

The good news is that presbyopia is treatable. In addition to reading glasses, new prescription eye drops can help improve near vision.

We now offer two prescription eye drops for presbyopia:

☑️Vizz – A prescription eye drop that helps improve near vision affected by presbyopia.

☑️Qlosi – The first FDA-approved eyedrop for blurry near vision, powered by the advanced EyeQ™ formulation.

Schedule your appointment to see if these treatments are right for you.

✔ Be mindful of flying debris, chemicals, and bright light exposure
✔ Never assume your everyday glasses provide safety protection
✔ If something gets in your eye, seek medical attention right away

Relief Is in Sight for Dry Eye 👁️

Tired of burning, redness, irritation, and blurry vision?

Dry Eye Syndrome doesn’t have to control your day. There is real, lasting relief with OptiLight.

With our advanced eyelid application technique, patients are seeing incredible results.
IPL Helps:

✅ Reduce inflammation
✅ Unclog meibomian glands
✅ Improve natural tear production
✅ Decrease dependence on artificial tears

Say goodbye to constant eye drops and hello to long-lasting comfort.

February is Age- Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Prevention and Low Vision Awareness Month.👁️

AMD is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in Americans aged 65 years and older.
Early detection with regular eye exams is key to slow progression and manage symptoms.

AMD can also affect animals. 🐶
Dr. Vale captured the pup-tastic snapshot of some dogs wearing protective eyewear to shield their eyes from the sun to prevent macular degeneration.
