Myopia is the result of a refractive disorder within the eye, and is the most common eye disorder among school age children. Regular check-ups and proper prescriptions will correct the problem.

Astigmatism results from a change in the standard shape of the eye. Normally the eye is round, but astigmatism is the product of an oval eye surface. Proper prescription eyewear can correct the problem.

Your frames are as important as your lenses. Check them regularly for cracks or loose joints. If they no longer sit properly on your face, bring them in to have them adjusted so you can wear them comfortably.
