"I thought cataracts were something that happened in your 70s." We hear it often, usually from someone in their 50s who's surprised to be sitting in our exam chair.

Age is the biggest factor, and many doctors believe every eye will eventually develop a cataract if you live long enough. But age isn't the only thing that moves the timeline. Ultraviolet light exposure, smoking, eye injuries, and certain diseases and medications all play a part. Here in Southern Colorado, the UV piece deserves extra attention. We live at altitude with more than 300 days of sun a year, and the hikers, cyclists, skiers, and anglers among us rack up a lot of it.

So if your vision has been getting hazier, colors feel a little flat, or headlights bother you more than they used to, don't rule out cataracts just because of your age. A quick look will tell us.

October is Halloween Safety Month, and we'd like to start it by talking about the part of the costume nobody thinks twice about. 🎃

Cat eyes, solid white zombie lenses, glowing red vampire eyes. They look incredible in photos, and they're sold everywhere this time of year. But no matter where you buy them, a contact lens sits directly on the surface of your eye, and one that wasn't fitted to you can do real damage in a single night. Swipe through for the myths we hear most.

The good version of this costume exists. It just starts with a fitting.

Next time your family is together, there is one question worth working into the conversation: does anyone know of glaucoma in the family, and has anyone been checked for it lately?

It sounds like a small thing to ask. It is actually one of the more useful pieces of information you can bring to an eye appointment. Having a parent or sibling with glaucoma raises your own risk substantially, and it is one of the few risk factors you can genuinely act on. Knowing it changes how early we start checking and how closely we follow your optic nerve over the years.

The trouble is that families rarely have the details. Eye conditions get mentioned in passing, and what matters gets lost somewhere between "Grandma had trouble with her eyes" and nobody being certain which trouble it was. Meanwhile the vision glaucoma takes does not come back, so catching it early is the entire game.

So ask. Then tell us what you learn, and we will build your exam schedule around it.

There is a specific drawer in a lot of Colorado homes. It has a pair of progressives in it that never worked out, and the story is usually the same: swimming edges, a narrow strip of clear reading, a week of trying, then back to two separate pairs.

Most of the time the lens design was not the problem. Progressives are measured to your eyes and to the exact frame sitting on your face, including how it tilts and how far it rests from your eyes. Get those measurements wrong by a couple of millimeters and the clear corridor lands somewhere your eyes never go. That is where the swimming comes from. It is also why a frame chosen online without those measurements so often disappoints.

Lens technology has moved a long way too. Wider corridors, softer transitions, designs made for how you actually spend your day.

Our optical team measures this properly and will tell you honestly if progressives are not the right call for you. Browse frames anytime at skylinevisionclinic.myeyestore.com

Stop by and let's get it right this time.

Fall sports are in full swing across Southern Colorado. Helmets are fitted, cleats are broken in, mouthguards are in the bag. The eyes usually get nothing.

That gap is worth closing, because it is such an easy one. Most sports related eye injuries happen to kids and teens, and the large majority of them are preventable with protective eyewear. Basketball and racquet sports are the usual culprits, close quarters and a fast object at face height. Regular glasses are not protection. Standard lenses can break, and the frame itself becomes part of the problem.

Sports frames are built differently: polycarbonate lenses, a wraparound fit, padding at the nose and brow, and a strap that keeps everything where it belongs. They can be made to your child's prescription, so there is no trade off between seeing the ball and protecting the eye.

The season is young enough that it is still worth handling now rather than after something happens.

Stop by and our optical team will fit them properly.

Nobody enjoys them. The stinging, the hour of blurry vision, the squint across the parking lot afterward. It is the least popular twenty minutes of the whole appointment, so here is what we are actually doing with it.

When your pupils are wide open, we can see past the center of the retina and all the way out to its far edges. That periphery is territory your own vision never really reports on.

It is also where certain weak spots live. Thin patches, small tears, areas of lattice degeneration where the retina is stretched more than it should be. They are especially common in people who are significantly nearsighted, because a longer eye means a retina stretched over more surface area. Most of these findings are stable and need nothing but a note in your chart and another look next year. Some need a quick laser treatment to seal the edges before they progress.

Either way, you will not feel them and you cannot see them. The only way anyone finds them is by looking.

So that is the trade. An afternoon of soft focus in exchange for a real look at the part of your eye that never speaks up on its own.

If it has been years since anyone dilated your eyes, book your appointment in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, or Canon City.

Most people walk into a cataract consultation expecting to talk about the surgery. The more interesting conversation is usually about the lens.

When we remove a cataract, we replace your natural lens with an artificial one, and that lens stays with you. It is one of the few decisions in eye care you make a single time. There is more than one kind, and the right answer depends entirely on how you live.

A standard lens gives excellent distance vision, with reading glasses for up close. If you have astigmatism, there is a lens designed to correct it at the same time, which is not something most people realize is on the table. And there are extended range lenses built to give you more usable vision across distances, which some patients love and others do not need at all.

None of these is the best lens. Only you can decide the lens that fits your eyes, your habits, and your budget, and that is a conversation to have unhurried, with your surgeon, after we have measured your eyes.

Call (719) 630-3937 to set up a cataract evaluation and we will walk through your options in person.

People come into a cataract consultation with their expectations set carefully low. Then the surgery happens, and what they tell us afterward tends to run well past what they braced for.

A cataract patient in Colorado Springs left us this:

"Dr. Burden did my cataract surgery and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! Quick, painless, and my vision is everything and more than what I was told to expect! It's wonderful to be able to see clearly again!!"

Thank you for trusting us with something as personal as your vision. Stories like this are why our team does this work.

If you have been putting off a cataract evaluation, or you are not sure you are ready to think about it yet, there is no pressure here. Just a straight answer about where you stand.

Twenty five years later, today is still a day to stop and remember.

We remember the nearly 3,000 people lost on September 11, 2001. We remember the firefighters, police officers, and paramedics who went toward it. And we remember the service members from Colorado and everywhere else who carried what came after.

Southern Colorado holds this one closely. Fort Carson, Peterson, Schriever, the Air Force Academy, and the veterans and military families who make up so much of our community here. Many of you have felt this day in ways most people never will.

Today our thoughts are with you and with the families still carrying that loss.

Never forget. 🇺🇸
