Meibomian glands make an oil called meibum that forms the protective outer layer of your tear film, which keeps your tears from evaporating too quickly.

When these glands become blocked, inflamed, or unhealthy, tears can evaporate too quickly and cause burning, redness, watering, eyelid irritation, or fluctuating vision.

Mosaddegh Eye Institute evaluates gland function and tear-film stability before recommending in-office or at-home treatment options.

Schedule a meibomian gland evaluation.

👁️🎃 Some things are scarier than Halloween… especially when it comes to your vision.
Flashes of light, a sudden increase in floaters, or a dark shadow creeping across your vision might sound like something out of a horror movie—but they can be warning signs of a retinal tear or detachment.
A retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the underlying tissue that supports it. Without prompt treatment, it can lead to permanent vision loss.

⚠️ Know the warning signs:
👁️ Sudden flashes of light
👁️ A sudden increase in floaters
👁️ A shadow or curtain moving across your vision
👁️ Sudden loss of peripheral vision

The scariest part? Retinal detachment is often painless.
If you experience these symptoms, seek an immediate dilated retinal examination. Early detection and timely treatment can make all the difference in protecting your sight.
This Halloween, don’t let the warning signs go unnoticed. 🎃

Your vision is worth protecting.

Cataracts often develop gradually, so it can be easy to adapt to cloudy vision, glare, halos, faded colors, or difficulty seeing at night.

A cataract evaluation can determine how much the natural lens has clouded and whether surgery is appropriate based on your daily activities, eye health, and visual goals.

Mosaddegh Eye Institute offers personalized cataract planning in San Francisco, including careful measurements and discussion of standard and premium lens options.

Dry eye does not always feel dry. Irritation can trigger reflex tearing, so some patients experience watery eyes along with burning, redness, grittiness, or fluctuating vision.

A comprehensive dry eye evaluation looks at the tear film, eyelids, meibomian glands, inflammation, medications, screen habits, contact lens wear, and ocular surface health.

Treating the cause rather than only the symptom can help create a more targeted long-term plan.

Astigmatism can make vision look blurred or distorted because the cornea does not focus light evenly.

For cataract patients with astigmatism, a toric intraocular lens may help address both the cloudy natural lens and astigmatism during the same procedure.

Accurate corneal measurements and careful lens alignment are important, and the best lens choice depends on your prescription, ocular surface, eye health, and visual priorities.

Ask about a Toric IOL evaluation.

Want to test drive your vision? The RxSight Light Adjustable Lens is designed to give cataract patients an additional level of personalization after surgery.

Unlike a fixed lens implant, its final power can be adjusted with controlled light treatments, allowing the visual target to be refined using real-world vision and prescription results.

An evaluation can help determine whether LAL or LAL+ is appropriate based on your eye health, prior procedures, astigmatism, and vision priorities.

Ask whether the Light Adjustable Lens fits your goals.

The Clareon Vivity lens is an extended depth-of-focus intraocular lens used for selected cataract surgery patients.

It is designed to provide a continuous range of vision, with strong distance and intermediate vision and functional near vision for many everyday activities.

Every lens involves trade-offs, so candidacy should be based on eye health, prescription, lifestyle, expectations, and a detailed discussion with your eye surgeon.

Ask whether Vivity may fit your vision priorities.

Removing a cataract is only part of cataract surgery planning. The replacement lens also affects your visual outcomes after surgery!

Depending on your eye health and goals, options may include standard monofocal lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, trifocal lenses, extended depth-of-focus lenses, or Light Adjustable Lens technology.

Ocular surface health, vision goals, and lifestyle priorities all matter when choosing an intraocular lens.
