Managing Eye Conditions

At Primary Eyecare Optometrics, we recognize the diverse range of eye problems that individuals may encounter, spanning from mild to severe, such as astigmatism and hyperopia. Some may resolve over time while others become chronic. Astigmatism, a common vision condition, results from an irregular cornea or lens shape, causing blurry or distorted vision. Fortunately, specialized eyeglasses or contact lenses can transform blurriness into crystal-clear vision. Similarly, hyperopia, or farsightedness, where distant objects are clearer than nearby ones, can lead to eyestrain and headaches. Our expert care offers solutions like eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery to address hyperopia and provide clear and comfortable vision. Remember, if your eyes don’t look good, feel good, or see well, don’t hesitate to visit your eye doctor — we are here to provide the expert care you deserve.

Conquer Myopia and See the World Anew

Myopia, also referred to as nearsightedness, is an eye condition where distant objects appear blurry, while close-up objects can be seen clearly. This occurs because light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it. People with myopia may have difficulty seeing road signs, distant text, or objects in the distance. However, they can usually see things up close without any problem. Myopia can be easily corrected using eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

What is Ortho-K?

Orthokeratology (ortho-K) is a breakthrough within our myopia management program at Primary Eyecare Optometrics that addresses myopia while providing exceptional daytime vision without glasses or contact lenses.

By gently reshaping the cornea with specially designed contact lenses worn overnight, ortho-K corrects your vision as you sleep. This non-surgical approach ensures improved vision throughout the day. The benefits of ortho-K extend beyond clear vision — it’s less invasive, non-permanent, and suitable for a wide age range.

From athletes seeking peak performance to professionals aiming for career success, ortho-K seamlessly enhances your lifestyle. Experience the freedom of ortho-K and explore personalized vision solutions at Primary Eyecare Optometrics.

Defeat Dry Eyes

Dry eye is a common eye condition where the eyes don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to discomfort, irritation, and a gritty or burning sensation in the eyes.

Dry eye can be caused by various factors, including age, hormonal changes, certain medications, environmental conditions, and underlying health conditions. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available, ranging from artificial tears and lifestyle adjustments to more advanced therapies prescribed by our doctors, helping to alleviate dry eye symptoms and improve overall eye comfort.
