Early Detection
is Key

Many eye diseases, like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts can progress without easily noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Regular eye exams are crucial for detecting these conditions early and getting proactive care that helps protect your sight.

Prioritizing eye care throughout your life can help safeguard your vision and prevent sight-threatening complications.

Myopia Management:
Preserving Clear Vision for Young Eyes

We offer myopia management programs to help children with nearsightedness (myopia) see clearly and help lower their risk of worsening nearsightedness and other myopia complications. These programs aim to control the growth of the eyes and help reduce the elongation that can lead to worsening myopia.

Understanding Your Risk Factors

Certain factors can increase your risk of developing eye diseases. These include:

Lifestyle Choices: Smoking can significantly increase your risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and other health problems. Conversely, a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can promote good eye health.
Age: As we age, our risk of developing several eye conditions can increase, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. Early detection and management are crucial for managing these conditions.

Family History: Some eye diseases, like glaucoma, can have a genetic component. If you have a family history of eye disease, regular eye exams may be even more important.

Understanding Eye Disease Prevention

Your risk of developing eye diseases can vary based on your personal health, family history, and lifestyle. Here are a few tips and habits that may help lower your risk:

Schedule Regular Eye Exams: Starting in childhood, regular eye exams are essential for maintaining good eye health.
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, manage stress, and don’t smoke. These healthy habits can contribute to your overall well-being, including your eye health.
Protect Your Eyes from UV Rays: Wear sunglasses that block ultraviolet (UV) light, which can contribute to your risk of developing cataracts and other conditions.
Know Your Family History: Understanding your family’s eye health can help us tailor a preventive plan for your eye care.
