Eyecare Connection

What's a refractive error? From myopia to presbyopia and hyperopia, these common conditions can impact vision.

Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.
Presbyopia: Age-related difficulty focusing on close-up objects, typically noticed around age 40.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Clearer vision for distant objects but trouble focusing on nearby items.

Seek early detection and appropriate corrective measures from an eye care professional to enhance visual comfort and quality of life.

The earliest eyeglasses are thought to date back to the 13th and 14th centuries, when they were used by monks while they read and copied manuscripts. That would make glasses over 700 years old!

Modern glasses have come a long way since then, with advancements in lens design, material, and coatings. Ask us about your options for lens coatings during your next appointment. You might be surprised to learn just how custom your modern glasses can be.
