With daylight saving time behind us, many of us are suddenly driving home in the dark.

If headlights seem unusually bright, you're noticing more glare or you're having difficulty seeing road signs at night, don't ignore it.

Changes in night vision can have several causes, including cataracts and uncorrected vision problems.

Talk with your eye care team about changes in how you're seeing after dark.

Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in your retina, sometimes long before you notice changes in your vision.

That's why regular, comprehensive dilated eye exams are especially important for people with diabetes. Early detection of diabetic eye disease can help prevent vision loss, even when your vision seems perfectly fine.

Ask your eye doctor how often you should come in for an exam based on your health and individual risk factors.

Clear vision doesn't always mean healthy eyes.

Conditions such as glaucoma and diabetic eye disease can develop without noticeable symptoms in their early stages.

That's why regular eye care matters, even when your vision seems perfectly clear.

Routine visits with your eye doctor can help identify potential concerns early and determine when additional evaluation or treatment may be needed.

Clear, comfortable vision can make a difference in so many ordinary moments, from reading a menu to driving across town to seeing a familiar face across the room.

If something about your vision has changed, don’t assume you simply have to adjust to it.

Talk with your eye doctor about what you’re experiencing. When additional evaluation or treatment is needed, we’re here to help.

Planning your Halloween costume?

Think twice before making decorative contacts part of the look.

Even when they don’t correct your vision, decorative lenses sit directly on the surface of your eye. Poorly fitting lenses or improper wear can lead to irritation, corneal scratches or infection.

That’s why your eye doctor may recommend leaving decorative contacts out of the costume altogether.
You can change your look in plenty of ways without taking chances with your eyes.

This Halloween, let the costume make the statement, not the contacts.

Two people can have the same eye condition and still have very different treatment plans.

Your eye doctor may consider factors such as how advanced the condition is, how it’s changing over time, your overall health, other eye conditions and how your vision is affecting your daily life.

Sometimes the right next step is treatment. Sometimes it’s continued monitoring. And the approach may change over time.

That’s why eye care isn’t simply about naming a condition. It’s about getting to know you, understanding how your vision affects your life and working together to find the care that’s right for you. We’re here to listen, answer your questions and support you every step of the way.

Glasses and contact lenses aren’t your only options for clearer vision.

Depending on your eyes, prescription and vision goals, a vision correction procedure such as LASIK or another option may be worth exploring.

The best place to start? An evaluation. Our team can take a closer look at your eyes, talk with you about your goals and help you understand which options may be right for you.

Weekend project? Yard work? A little time in the garage?

Before you get started, think about your eyes.

Protective eyewear can help reduce the risk of eye injuries from flying debris, dust, chemicals and other hazards. The right protection depends on what you’re doing, so make eye safety part of the plan, not an afterthought.

Why would your ophthalmologist ask about a medication prescribed for something completely unrelated to your eyes?

Because some medications can affect your vision and eye health.

Certain medications can cause changes in vision, increase eye pressure, contribute to dry eyes or raise the risk of developing certain eye conditions. These effects can vary depending on the medication, dosage and length of use.

That’s why sharing your complete medication history with your ophthalmologist is an important part of protecting your eye health.

Have questions about how your medications might affect your eyes? Talk with your eye doctor about potential side effects.

Never stop or change a prescribed medication without first consulting the clinician who prescribed it.

When you hear “eye inflammation,” you may picture an eye that looks red or irritated.

But inflammation can also develop inside the eye.

Conditions such as uveitis can affect different structures within the eye and may cause symptoms including blurry vision, light sensitivity, eye pain or new floaters.

During Inflammatory Eye Disease Awareness Week, we’re highlighting why changes in how your eyes feel or see can matter, even when the problem isn’t obvious from the outside.

If you notice a new or significant change in your vision or eye comfort, talk with your eye doctor.
