Get to know the signs and symptoms of cataracts. A cataract is an eye condition in which the clear lens in your eye becomes cloudy. Though everyone can experience this as they age, it's most commonly found among people over 60. Signs of cataracts include clouded, blurred, or dim vision, poor night vision, sensitivity to light, and glare.

If your eyes feel dry, red, or irritated after using a new contact lens solution, that may signal an allergic reaction to the product. Book an appointment with us for an eye evaluation so that we can determine the most appropriate contact lens solution for you.

Did you know? Eye exams do so much more than simply test your vision. Here are a few areas eye tests can show early signs;

✔️ Eye diseases and disorders, including glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachments, and macular degeneration.
✔️ Health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and brain tumors.

How do you know if your contact lens is incorrect? Well, your eyes will feel uncomfortable and you may feel like your contact lens is lightly scraping your eyes. You may also see blurry!

Have you been wearing the same prescription glasses for many years? It may be time to get your eyes checked and update your eyeglasses. Adults should upgrade to new glasses with the same frequency as eye exams, so every 1-3 years (or as recommended by your eye doctor).
