Digital eye strain is common with daily screen use. Learn symptoms, causes, and how blue light solutions help reduce discomfort. Read more.

If your eyes feel gritty or tired by mid-afternoon, you're not imagining it. Dry eye gets worse once the furnaces turn on for the season. We wrote up what actually causes it and which treatments help (spoiler: it's not always just drops).

Dry eye disease can cause burning, redness, and blurry vision. See common causes and treatment options in our guide. Learn more here.

An eye exam isn't just about checking if your prescription changed. Dr. Maciejewski looks for early signs of glaucoma, diabetic changes, and other conditions that often show up in your eyes before you'd ever feel them. If it's been a year (or longer) since your last visit, now's a good time to get back on the calendar.

Protect your vision with a comprehensive eye exam in Colorado Springs. We use the latest tech to keep your eyes healthy. Call to schedule an exam!

Back-to-school season is also a good reminder for the adults in the family: if it's been a year or more since your last comprehensive eye exam, conditions like glaucoma and diabetic eye disease often develop with no early symptoms. Regular exams are how we catch them early, while there's still the most we can do.

Diabetes, glaucoma, and macular degeneration can threaten your vision. Learn about chronic eye conditions, including signs, and when to see a doctor.

We're proud to serve the families of the U.S. Air Force Academy community. Dr. Maciejewski served as an Army optometrist for the first three years of her career, and her husband is an Air Force veteran, so she understands what it's like to build a routine around deployments, PCS moves, and unpredictable schedules.

If you're new to the area or just haven't found a regular eye doctor yet, we'd be glad to be that practice for your family.

Back in the classroom often means back on a screen for hours a day between Chromebooks, tablets, and homework. If your child is coming home with tired eyes or headaches, digital eye strain might be part of it.

A few things that help: the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds), good lighting, and the right lens coating if screen time isn't going away anytime soon. https://www.rfr.bz/f3385e883

New to Spectrum Eye Care? Dr. Caitlin Maciejewski leads our practice with an approach some patients say they haven't experienced at an eye doctor before: she takes her time. No rushed exams, no jargon you have to decode on your own.

She's also an Army veteran married to an Air Force veteran, so she understands the pace of military family life firsthand. New patients are welcome.
