Eye Conditions We Help Manage at Alpine Vision Center
Clear Vision for Astigmatism Patients
Astigmatism is a condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, leading to blurred vision at any distance. This common refractive error affects how light is focused onto the retina, causing images to appear distorted or blurry. To correct astigmatism and improve vision clarity, several effective treatments are available:
- Prescription Eyeglasses: Glasses are often the initial treatment for astigmatism. These advanced lenses are specially designed to correct the distortion caused by this eye condition for clear and sharp vision.
- Toric Contact Lenses: Unlike regular soft contacts, torics compensate for the irregular curvature of the cornea, offering comfort and clarity.
- Laser Eye Surgery: For a more permanent solution, patients can opt for LASIK for reduced reliance on glasses and contacts.
Rapid and Effective Dry Eye Relief
Our optometrists will pinpoint the root causes of your dry eye and design a personalized plan for enduring relief, restoring your eye comfort. Based on our evaluation, we tailor a treatment plan that may include a combination of strategies:
- Lubricating Eye Drops: We prescribe advanced lubricating eye drops to alleviate dryness and provide immediate relief.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Our experts offer guidance on adjusting your daily habits and environment to reduce dry eye symptoms.
- Prescription Therapies: In some cases, we may recommend prescription medications to address the underlying causes of dry eyes.
- Advanced Therapies: We offer cutting-edge treatments such as punctal plugs and intense pulsed light therapy to enhance tear production and alleviate symptoms.
Vuity™: Enhancing Near Vision for Presbyopia
In addition to bifocal and multifocal lenses, we offer Vuity™ as a solution for age-related farsightedness. This FDA-approved eye drop works by contracting specific eye muscles and reducing pupil size, resulting in improved close-up vision. Clinical studies reveal significant near vision enhancements with just one drop per eye daily. Using Vuity™ is hassle-free — apply one drop per eye, spaced at least 5 minutes apart if using multiple drops.
It's also a great alternative for those who don't want or don't qualify for LASIK eye surgery.
