Did you know that there are over 150 million people in the United States alone who wear some form of eyewear to correct refractive errors? Whether you’re nearsighted, farsighted, have astigmatism or presbyopia, wearing eyeglasses or contacts can bring a blurry world into focus.

Approximately 80% of the information we take in from our environment is gathered through our eyes. To help maintain and preserve your eyesight, make sure you receive regular vision care and use the appropriate protective eyewear when necessary.

Nearly five million Americans over the age of 50 suffer from dry eye. If you experience persistent symptoms of dry eye, it’s important to see your eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam.

Thanks to new lens materials and technologies, today’s contact lenses are more versatile, comfortable and convenient than ever before and can address an extensive range of vision needs.

Regular, comprehensive eye exams from your ophthalmologist is especially important for older adults. That’s because as you get older, you become more susceptible to cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration. A baseline eye examination is recommended for adults at age 40, and earlier for those with underlying medical conditions that increase their risk. Adults 65 and older should have their eyes checked at least every two years, or as recommended by their eye doctor.
