Regular eye examinations are important to maintain good vision and eye health. Depending on your individual circumstances, we recommend a general eye examination every 12 to 24 months. However, it may be important for certain demographics to see an optometrist more frequently, such as a patient with glaucoma, diabetes, macula degeneration or other eye conditions.

This is a common myth, and there is no evidence that using a computer can cause damage to the eyes. While there are theories that excessive close work and eyestrain in children can increase the risk of being short sighted, the symptoms of computer vision syndrome are temporary and can be treated by visiting our optometrists for an eye examination.

Myopia, or short-sightedness, is becoming more and more common in younger patients. It is therefore becoming more important than ever to consider methods of reducing myopia's impact on their lives, both in terms of their vision and long-term risk of associated eye diseases. Fortunately, there are now several strategies proven to reduce the rate at which myopia worsens in children and teenagers.

Astigmatism is a common eye condition in which you have difficulty seeing clearly at both near and far distances. People who are both near and far distances. People who are long-sighted (hyperopia) or short-sighted (myopia) often also have astigmatism, or astigmatism can occur by itself. People who have astigmatism can experience eyestrain and headaches, and may feel tired at the end of the day.
