Acne rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, leading to redness, swelling, and sometimes visible blood vessels or acne-like breakouts. While it is primarily considered a dermatologic issue, many people are surprised to learn that it can also affect the eyes, leading to symptoms like dryness, irritation, and inflammation. This condition is known as ocular rosacea. Fortunately, advancements in dry eye technology are offering new hope for relief, and one of the most promising treatments available today is OptiLight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light).

Glaucoma is a complex eye condition that damages the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss if not properly managed. Often called the “silent thief of sight,” it typically develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. But one question many patients have is whether glaucoma can progress at different rates in each eye.

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that weakens and thins the cornea, causing it to bulge into a cone-like shape. This distortion leads to blurry vision, light sensitivity, and difficulty with night driving. If you or a loved one in Decatur has been diagnosed with keratoconus, understanding its stages and available treatment options can help you make informed decisions about your eye care.

Scleral contact lenses have transformed the way eye care professionals address complex vision needs. Unlike traditional contact lenses, scleral lenses are larger, resting on the sclera (the white part of the eye) and vaulting over the cornea. This unique design provides unparalleled comfort and vision correction, making them a preferred choice for individuals with specific eye conditions.

As parents, we always strive to give our children the best foundation for success in school and life. One often overlooked but critical factor in their development is their vision.
