Thinking about trying scleral contacts? For people who can’t get clear, comfortable vision with regular glasses or contact lenses, scleral lenses can be a game-changer.
Scleral lenses are custom-made to create a fluid-filled cushion over the cornea. This design helps to correct vision while keeping your eye comfortably hydrated.
If you’re thinking of trying scleral contacts, here’s what to know about these lenses.
Have you just gotten an eye exam and been told you have 20/25 vision? You may be confused about what exactly that means.
You probably know that 20/20 vision is the ‘average.’ But where does 20/25 fit on that scale? And more importantly, does it mean you need glasses?
Let’s get to the bottom of it!
Eye dilation is a routine part of some eye exams. It helps your optometrist get a proper look at the back of your eye, but the effects can last longer than people expect.
The good news is that it’s temporary. You may be asking, how long does eye dilation last exactly? That depends on a few different factors.
Are you trying to decide between refractive surgery and implantable contact lenses (ICLs)?
Both can improve your vision, but they work in very different ways. Some people are also better candidates for one over the other.
We’re going to look at how both surgical options work, their differences, and which procedure might suit you best.
Vision changes aren’t always dramatic. They will often start with small signs that are easy to write off.
You might start needing to hold your phone further away than normal to read it clearly. Or, you could have frequent headaches that you put down to stress.
So, are you asking, how can I know if I need glasses? Let’s get into it!
