Many seniors delay eye exams because they don’t want to risk losing their independence. Vision changes may make it hard to drive, take part in hobbies, or enjoy other day-to-day activities. If you’re worried that visiting an optometrist will result in changes to your daily life, putting off eye care could actually cause the problem to get worse and limit your options for treatment. It’s best to be proactive about identifying early warning signs of age-related vision changes. Our compassionate, friendly team will do a comprehensive exam, run a few painless tests, and get a full picture of your eye health. We can determine if you have any conditions like age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, or presbyopia.

Why do I have sudden changes in vision or blurry vision? If you have a sudden, unexplained change in your vision, such as an increase in floaters, blurry vision, vision loss, dark spots in your vision, chronic migraines combined with vision changes, double vision, or a head injury followed by vision changes, you need to act fast. These could be symptoms of an underlying neurological problem that is affecting your optic nerve. A standard eye exam may not uncover the root cause of your symptoms, which is why it’s so important to visit a neuro-ophthalmologist.

Call now to schedule a comprehensive eye exam and evaluation.

Understanding your vision insurance shouldn’t be a source of stress. If you’ve been putting off an eye exam or treatment for an eye condition because you’re not sure if it’s covered by your insurance, we can help. We offer pre-appointment verification of benefits so that you know exactly what’s covered, what your co-pay or out-of-pocket deductible is, and what your benefits are. If a specialized test or treatment isn’t covered, we’ll make sure you understand why it’s needed, how much it will cost, and its pros and cons before we administer it. Don’t let questions about your vision insurance coverage put your eye health at risk.

Call us now to find out if your plan covers the eye care you need.

True or False: Only people over the age of 80 get cataracts. This is false! Cataracts are most common in seniors, but you can start developing the condition as early as your 30s, and your risk increases in your 40s and 50s. Certain medications and lifestyle factors increase your risk of getting cataracts, such as prolonged or extreme exposure to UV light, chronic high blood sugar levels or high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, alcohol overuse, eye trauma, and long-term use of corticosteroid medications. If you have noticed changes in your vision, dark spots, or cloudiness, don’t delay in scheduling an eye exam. Early identification and treatment are key to maintaining your health, safety, and quality of life. If you think you’re at risk of cataracts or have early warning signs of the condition, call now to schedule a vision exam.

At Arizona Eye Consultants, we offer world-class treatment for cataracts, including standard and premium intraocular lenses (IOLs). Call our Tucson clinic today.

One myth we encounter a lot when treating children with eye conditions is that they will “just grow out of it.” Many parents hear that conditions like strabismus (crossed eyes) or amblyopia (lazy eye) will correct themselves as a child gets older. In reality, without proper treatment, these conditions can worsen as your child ages. Your child could face lifelong vision loss if their brain continuously ignores signals from the weaker eye. The best time to identify and treat these conditions is in early childhood, which is why regular vision exams and checkups are so important. Our pediatric ophthalmologist can design a personalized treatment program that includes patches, specialty glasses, and other therapies that improve your child’s vision, confidence, and quality of life.
