Making the switch from glasses to contact lenses can be a significant change, but it can also be a liberating experience. Contact lenses offer a range of benefits including a wider field of vision, the absence of fogging or getting wet in the rain, and the freedom to engage in various activities without the worry of glasses slipping off.

PALs are primarily used to treat presbyopia, an age-related condition that affects the eye’s ability to focus on up-close objects.
Progressive lenses provide a smooth and seamless transition between different prescription strengths within a single lens. Unlike traditional bifocal or trifocal lenses, progressive lenses do not have visible lines separating the different prescription strength zones. Instead, the lenses gradually change in power from the top (distance vision) to the bottom (near vision), with intermediate powers located in between.
The lens is divided into three parts:
Snowflake cataracts represent a unique and visually striking form of cataract. While cataracts are generally characterized by the clouding of the lens in the eye, snowflake cataracts stand out due to their distinctive appearance and the specific conditions under which they form.
To better understand the phenomenon of snowflake cataracts, the post explores the anatomy and physiology of the eye, the pathophysiology of cataracts in general, and the unique features, causes, diagnosis, and treatments of snowflake cataracts.
Since being introduced in 1994, daily disposable contact lenses have revolutionized vision correction by offering convenience and flexibility to over 45% of the 40 million contact users in the United States.
However, for some, discomfort and eye irritation have raised concerns about the potential of being allergic to contact lenses. Allergic reactions to contact lenses can show up in various ways, impacting comfort, vision, and overall eye health.
If you wear daily disposable contact lenses and have noticed on-going eye discomfort or irritation characterized by dry eye, itching, or increased watering of the eyes, you might wonder if you are allergic to your contact lenses.
This post takes a detailed look at what contact contact lens allergies are, explores their symptoms, potential causes, and diagnosis and shares strategies to help manage discomfort stemming from a contact lens allergy.
