If you wear glasses or contact lenses, you’ve seen diopter numbers before! They’re the pluses and minuses on prescriptions, such as -2.00 or +1.50.
Most people know that bigger numbers mean thicker or stronger glasses. But you may still be asking, what is a diopter exactly? And what’s it measuring?
Once you fully understand how this all works, your prescription will make a lot more sense. Let’s get into it!
Are you wondering if you have keratoconus?
Keratoconus symptoms generally start slowly. Your vision might gradually become blurrier, or lights may start to look strange at night. You’ll also probably find your glasses stop working as well as they should.
In this article, we’ll discuss the most common signs of keratoconus and talk about why it affects vision the way it does.
However, these symptoms could point to a huge range of conditions, so it’s important not to leap to any conclusions about what could be going on with your vision. Instead, speak to your eye doctor so they can properly diagnose you.
If you’ve got a stye on your eyelid, you already know how sore and annoying they can get.
But what if you use contacts? You may be asking, can I wear contacts with a stye?
Technically, you can. But it’s not recommended by eye doctors. The good news is that most styes usually clear up on their own within a week or two.
In this post, we’re going to talk about why contacts and styes don’t tend to mix, what having a stye really means, how long to avoid contacts, and what can help your eye heal faster.
Is something stuck in your eye? This can be a frustrating and uncomfortable experience!
If you’re wondering how to get something out of your eye, I’m here to help. These tips will help you remove the object, whether it’s an eyelash or a piece of fluff (where do they even come from?).
There are also times when it’s best to seek medical help. We’ll go through the differences between a DIY job and a seek-urgent-care situation.
Have you just started wearing monovision contact lenses… and you hate them? Maybe you’re about ready to throw in the towel. Well, if it’s any comfort, what you’re feeling isn’t that uncommon!
Monovisions do take a while to get used to. This comes down to their design; one eye is being corrected for distance vision and the other for near vision. This is not what your brain is used to.
In this post, we’re going to discuss why monovision contacts might be driving you crazy. We’ll also talk about how long it takes to get used to them, potential problems, and what to do if you think monos just aren’t right for you.
