Keratoconus :: when the eye's cornea is cone-shaped instead of round, the light entering the eye is unable to focus correctly and vision is distorted. Eyes may also be sensitive to light and glare. Usually becoming apparent during teen years, Keratoconus may progress 10-20 years, causing the cornea to bulge more and vision to become worse. Eyeglasses or soft contact lenses can help correct nearsightedness and astigmatism caused by keratocous. In later stages, rigid gas permeable contact lenses can be prescribed and carefully fitted to achieve adequate vision. In worst cases, a corneal transplant is necessary. If you think you may be developing Keratoconus, call Vision Care Service today to schedule an appointment.

Strabismus: What causes crossed eyes? 👀👀 Each eye has six external muscles that control eye position and movement. For normal vision, the position, neurological control, and functioning must be coordinated perfectly for both eyes. Strabismus can be caused by problems with the muscles themselves, or other times in the nerves of the brain. Genetics may also affect the risk of developing crossed eyes. Untreated, it may develop into double vision, lazy eye, or difficulty reading and learning in a classroom. 👍 Follow our Facebook page for more Eye Facts!

Oh Conjunctivitis! What are the 4 types of PINK EYE and how do I treat them? 💨〰💥⚠ 💨Allergic conjunctivitis occurs commonly among people with seasonal allergies. Substances enter the eye that trigger allergic reactions. 💨If you can, avoid or remove the irritant. In mild cases, artificial tears or a cool compress can relieve discomfort. In more severe cases, use a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication or antihistamines. Topical steroid eye drops may also be prescribed. 〰Bacterial conjunctivitis is an infection that is usually caused by staphylococcal bacteria from your own skin. Some sources of the bacteria include unclean hands, insects, contaminated eye makeup or brushes, and facial lotion (especially when shared by other people). 〰Treat with antibiotic eye drops or ointments. 💥Viral conjunctivitis is mostly caused by contagious viruses like the common cold. The cold virus can spread along the body's mucous membranes in the lungs, throat, nose, and eyes. It can also develop through exposure to the coughing or sneezing of someone with an upper respiratory tract infection. 💥This pink eye can not be treated with drops, ointments, or antibiotics because it is a virus which has to run its course (sometimes up to two or three weeks). Relieve discomfort with cool compresses, artificial tear solutions, or topical steroid drops to reduce for inflammation. ⚠Chemical Conjunctivitis happens when irritants like pollution or noxious chemicals in the air or chlorine in swimming pools gets into the eyes. Carefully flushing the eyes with saline solution or applying topical steroids can help. ⚠If a chemical spills in your eye, flush the eye for several minutes with a lot of water and contact your medical provider. 👌source: www.aoa.org #visioncareservice #optometrist#fayetteville #arkansas #fayettevillearkansas #nwa #visioncare #eyedoctor #fayettevilleoptometrist #fayettevilleeyedoctor #eyeexam #vision#eyes #healthyeyes #doctorvisit #newglasses #pupil #eyeball #northwestarkansasmall#lenscrafters #nwamall #fayettevillear #localbusiness #localdoctor #localeyedoctor #localoptometrist #eyetest #pinkeye #conjunctivitis

👀👀 Have you noticed yourself or others holding objects at a distance to see them clearly, like books, menus, phones, or tablets? This could be due to Presbyopia. 👀👀 Most people begin to experience signs of Presbyopia around age 40, with about 1.3 billion documented cases worldwide. This vision condition makes small print and closeup objects harder to see, causes headaches, eye strain, and visual fatigue. Getting older causes Presbyopia in most adults, as the flexibility of your eye's lens naturally deteriorates and thickens over time. More specifically, the proteins in the lens become harder and less elastic, leading to focus problems in vision. Reading glasses can address the effects of Presbyopia. ☎ Call us to schedule your eye exam today!

Are you experiencing problems with your peripheral or side vision? 👀👻Do you have to turn your head to see what's to your immediate right or left? Do you have blurred vision, nausea, and headaches? Do you see "halos" around bright lights? You might have glaucoma. Glaucoma can lead to blindness by damaging the optic nerve. The eye continuously produces a fluid called the aqueous, that must drain from the eye to maintain healthy eye pressure. The eye's drainage canals become blocked, and the fluid accumulation causes pressure to build within the eye, causing damaging pressure to the optic nerve.

Why are eye exams so important? It's easy to overlook the importance of eye exams because eyes rarely hurt when there's a problem.Having an eye test won't just tell you if you need new glasses or a change of prescription – it's also an important checkup for other sides of your health. Eye tests can identify many general health problems and early signs of eye conditions before you're aware of any symptoms, many of which can be treated if found early enough. ---- How often should I have an eye test? Optometrists recommend that most people have an eye test about every two years. People over 40 and people from black or minority ethnic groups may need sight tests more often. ---- Anyone can develop sight problems, but some people have a higher risk of eye disease. It's especially important to have regular eye tests if you are: +Above 60 years old. +From certain ethnic groups – for example, people from African-Caribbean communities are at greater risk of developing glaucoma and diabetes, and people from south Asian communities are at a greater risk of developing diabetes; diabetic retinopathy, where the retina becomes damaged, is a common complication of diabetes. +Someone with a learning disability. +From a family with a history of eye disease. #visioncareservice #optometrist #littlerock #arkansas #littlerockarkansas #visioncare #eyedoctor #littlerockoptometrist #littlerockeyedoctor #eyeexam #vision #eyes #healthyeyes #doctorvisit #newglasses #parkplazamall #lenscrafters #littlerockar #localbusiness #localdoctor #localeyedoctor #localoptometrist #pupil #eyeball #eyetest #eyeexams #checkup #glaucoma #diabetes #learningdisabilities #eyedisease
