Your eyes cannot escape the hands of time. And so, your vision develops and change over the course of your life.
Considering how much your eyes change throughout your life, it’s important to be aware of key aspects of eye health and vision changes that are specific to each phase of life.
Have you ever wondered about the technology behind your contacts? What are they made of? Why do some brands become dry very quickly? Why are some to be worn for a month and others only for a day?
The technology in your contact lenses has rapidly advanced in the last 5-10 years, much like your phone’s technology. The contact lens market grows each year with the introduction of 2-3 new types of lenses of varying materials and designs.
The contact lens brands of 2022 are more breathable, more comfortable, and healthier for your eyes. More options exist for patients with astigmatism, computer users, and those over 40 wearing reading glasses over their contacts. A contact lens exists for nearly every eyeglass prescription and can be customized for your specific vision needs.
Are your eyes streaming with tears when you aren’t even crying? Or maybe they just constantly feel wet.
Your eyes are designed to naturally produce tears to soothe and protect them. When you are around dust or smoke your eyes will temporarily produce additional tears as a defense mechanism to keep irritants out.
But what happens when your eyes produce excess tears for no obvious reason? Here are some possible causes for your watery eyes and tips for managing your symptoms.
Roughly 194 million Americans and over 1.4 billion people worldwide wear glasses or contact lenses, according to The Vision Council. It’s estimated 75% of adults currently require, or will require, vision correction at some point in their lives.
While there are a number of reasons people wear glasses, most often it is to correct what is known as a refractive error. The National Eye Institute defines a refractive error as a vision issue that occurs as a result of changes in the shape of your eye that prevents light from correctly focusing on the retina. As a result, images often become blurred, distorted, and out of focus while also contributing to physical discomforts including headaches, double vision, and eye strain.
You may rely on eye drops for a variety of reasons: to treat allergies, relieve dry eyes, treat minor infections, and possibly, to help minimize the effects of glaucoma. As shocking as it may sound, you’ll soon be able to add treating presbyopia to the list.
The development of presbyopia eye drops is potentially great news for the nearly two-billion people who suffer from the condition.
