Cataract Surgery
WHAT IS A CATARACT? A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye and it is one of the most common eye problems affecting people over the age of 65. The lens of the eye works much like the lens of a camera to keep your vision in focus. ...
LASIK
LASIK can correct near-sightedness and far-sightedness. PRK is great for thinner corneas or higher prescriptions. Implantable contact lenses (Visian ICLs) allow treatment for very high myopia.
Comprehensive Eyecare
Adults with no signs or risk factors for eye disease should receive a comprehensive medical eye evaluation at age 40 if they have not previously received one. Eye conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration require much more frequent follow-up.

Get a Baseline Eye Exam at Age 40
Regular eye exams can catch eye issues before it's too late. The difference in routine care can be the difference in saving your vision. This year in 2020, 43 million Americans are at risk for significant vision loss or blindness from age-related eye diseases, such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular degeneration.
