Vision Problems

  • Astigmatism
    If you experience a distortion or blurring of images at all distances -- near as well as far -- you may have an astigmatism. Headache, fatigue, squinting and eye discomfort or irritation may indicate a slight degree of astigmatism.
  • Cataracts
    While a comprehensive eye examination can determine for certain if you have a cataract forming, there are a number of signs and symptoms that you need to be aware of.
  • Double Vision
    If you see two of whatever you are looking at, you may have a condition known as double vision, also referred to as diplopia.
  • Hyperopia
    If you can see objects at a distance clearly but have trouble focusing well on objects close up, you may be farsighted. Farsightedness is often referred to by its medical name, hyperopia.
  • Keratoconus
    Poor vision that cannot be corrected fully with glasses may indicate a condition known as keratoconus. A rare condition, keratoconus primarily affects people in their early 20's.
  • Myopia
    If you can see objects nearby with no problem, but reading road signs or making out the writing on the board at school is difficult, you may be near-sighted.
  • Presbyopia
    Around the are of 40, eye muscles begin to lose their elasticity which causes near vision to be blurry.
  • Spots & Floaters
    Do you occasionally see specks or threadlike strands drifting across your field of vision? Then, when you try to look at them, do they seem to dart away? If so, you're seeing what eye care practitioners call spots or floaters
