Headaches are a common complaint for both adults and children. For some people, they happen only once in a while, while others struggle with them more frequently.

This relaxing yet therapeutic treatment gives your eyes the attention they deserve and helps relieve chronic symptoms tied to eyelid conditions.

If you’re thinking about making the switch to contact lenses or updating your current prescription, choosing the right type of contact lens is essential for both comfort and visual clarity.

Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, has become an increasingly popular option for managing myopia, especially in children and young adults. This non-surgical treatment involves wearing specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses overnight to reshape the cornea temporarily. By morning, users can experience clearer vision without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. But a common question among patients and parents is: how long does it take for Ortho-K to begin showing noticeable results?

Dry, irritated eyes are more than just an occasional nuisance. For many, they can be a sign of a chronic condition known as dry eye syndrome.

There are different ways to slow it down, and one of the most promising treatments is low-dose atropine eye drops.

Myopia is a growing concern, especially among children and young adults.
