  • Can cheap sunglasses ruin my vision?

    That is correct. The quality of sunglass lenses vary. Anything under $50 probably have poor quality optics and or UV protection. Best quality are usually around $200 or more. But designer sunglasses are expensive because it’s a fashion item; you want sunglasses that are expensive because of lens quality such as Maui Jim or Persol. READ MORE

  • Is it worth getting Lasik after 40?

    It depends. It depends on your current prescription and lifestyle. How much outdoor activity and computer / near work you do. Best person to discuss is your eye doctor. READ MORE

  • Can optometrists do Botox treatment?

    I recommend going to a plastic surgeon or oculoplastics ophthalmologist. Someone who does Botox regularly. I have had patients get double vision after Botox. You don’t want that. READ MORE

  • I am experiencing eye strain from overusing computers. What to do?

    Taking scheduled breaks from the computer is important. There is a 20-20-20 rule which means every 20 minutes look away at 20 feet for 20 seconds. Also I recommend getting computer glasses for anyone using the computer more than 3-4 hours a day. Computer glasses have a prescription customized for your eyes to alleviate eye strain and help focus while using the computer. You would need to go to your eye doctor for the prescription. READ MORE

  • Is there a cure for color blindness?

    Color blindness is a genetic condition. Therefore there is no cure but we do have special lenses that help people with color blindness see color. Enchroma is one company that sells these glasses. My recommendation is to have your son evaluated by an optometrist to determine if he really is color defective. Since he is only 3 he may not know all the colors by name and maynot be color defective. READ MORE
