Myopia may be inconvenient, but fortunately, there is a range of treatment options that can correct your vision and enable you to see clearly at all times. Here’s what you need to know about the different treatment options for myopia.

At Advanced Vision Institute, we are no stranger to issues that are associated with your eyes. One of the most common issues that our patients often suffer for months or years before coming in with is dry, red, and irritated eyelids. Patients often feel that this is a mere irritation or just a skin condition that they can deal with themselves.

At Advanced Vision Institute, a number of our patients have been told that contacts are not a good fit for them. We pride ourselves in offering our patients the greatest technology and products. That is why we use scleral and hybrid contact lenses. This lens type can be a great option for patients who do not have an eye shape that will accommodate standard contact lenses.

When everything is working properly, we often take it for granted that it will continue to operate properly. However, just like you should change the oil in your car, taking care of your eyes should become a regular part of your life. If you have not ever been into an eye exam before though, it can be a little unnerving trying to figure out exactly what you can expect. If you are looking for a provider for your eye care, call Advanced Vision Institute today to schedule an appointment.

Are you unsure if you suffer from allergy symptoms or dry eye syndrome? There’s no need to let the mystery continue! Contact us today to schedule a consultation for a thorough eye exam.

Amblyopia, better known as ‘lazy eye’, is the name given to a fairly common childhood condition which occurs when vision does not develop properly. It occurs when one or both eyes are unable to form a strong link to the brain. In most cases, it only affects one eye and this causes the child to rely more heavily on their ‘good eye’ – something which can actually make the condition worse since the weaker eye doesn’t have the opportunity to form stronger links.

Most times of the year are dry in the Mojave Desert, but wintertime is especially dry here and across that nation. Some 59 million people suffer from Dry Eye Syndrome in the United States, and the vast majority don’t realize it.

We have all heard that you shouldn’t look at the sun during a solar eclipse. However, it’s not just during an eclipse that the sun can damage your eyes. Long-term sun exposure or short periods of direct exposure can cause significant damage or blindness to our eyes. Knowing how to protect your eyes is the first step in the line of defense.

If you’ve never had an eye exam, you may be curious about what’s going to happen at your first appointment. Maybe you’ve had several eye exams, but you don’t understand exactly what your optometrist is doing during your appointment. If you just wat to know more about eye exams and what happens, then we’ve created this guide for you.
