Happy Cataract Awareness Month!

Do you know what cataracts are? Oftentimes, people get cataracts and glaucoma mixed up when they are actually two completely different conditions.

Cataracts are a natural phenomenon that everyone experiences if they live long enough, but there are ways to help prolong their formation.

Precision matters, in baseball and for your eyes.

When the front surface of your eye, called the cornea, is evenly round like a baseball, light focuses at the same point in your eye, causing clear vision. When it has two different curvatures like a football, light focuses at two different points, and vision can appear blurry or distorted. That difference in curvature is called astigmatism.

The good news: it’s common and treatable. A comprehensive eye exam can diagnose it and recommend the right treatment.

Ensure your family is at the top of their game by scheduling a comprehensive eye exam today!
