Halloween is one of the most creative nights of the year - filled with costumes, makeup, and spooky fun. But amidst the excitement of transforming into your favorite character, it’s important to remember one thing: your eyes are not props. Whether you’re using face paint or experimenting with costume contact lenses, protecting your eyes should be part of your Halloween plan.

Wearing contact lenses is a convenient and effective way to correct vision, but it’s important to remember that they are medical devices, not just simple accessories. When cared for properly, contacts can provide clear vision and comfort all day long. However, poor hygiene, overwear, or skipping regular eye exams can put your eyes at risk for serious complications.

LASIK surgery has transformed the way millions of people see the world. It offers the convenience of reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses and has a high success rate in correcting common vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. But while the results can be life-changing, many patients still wonder: Is LASIK a permanent fix, or will my vision eventually change again?

This damage is often caused by increased pressure in the optic nerve (intraocular pressure or IOP), but glaucoma can also occur even when eye pressure is within normal ranges.

February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Awareness Month, a time to focus on protecting your vision from one of the leading causes of blindness in older adults. ARMD affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision, making activities like reading and driving more difficult. While there is no cure for ARMD, early detection and lifestyle changes can help reduce your risk and preserve your vision for years to come.
