Eye Conditions We Treat in Oak Hill
Dry Eye Syndrome
We diagnose dry eye syndrome through a comprehensive eye exam, including tests to evaluate tear production and quality. Treatment options include artificial tears, prescription medications, warm compresses, and advanced treatments to improve tear gland function.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens is irregular, causing blurred or distorted vision at all distances. This common refractive error can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery like LASIK for clearer, sharper vision.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is an age-related condition where the eye's lens loses flexibility, making it difficult to focus on close objects. It typically begins after age 40 and can be managed with reading glasses, bifocals, or multifocal contact lenses.
Myopia
A person with myopia, also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness, sees distant objects as blurry or out of focus, such as the board in a classroom, the television, or the clock on the wall. During your eye exam, the eye doctor will note a negative sign such as -1.00 or -2.25 to indicate myopia, which we can correct with corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Computer Vision Syndrome
Also known as digital eye strain, computer vision syndrome is a common condition caused by prolonged use of digital devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. Symptoms include eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, and neck or shoulder pain. We offer customized treatment options for CVS, including specialty computer or blue light blocking lenses, ergonomic recommendations, and tips for reducing eye strain to help protect your vision in today’s digital world.
