Eye problems can range from mild to severe; some are chronic, while others may resolve on their own and never return. Regular eye checkups are essential for maintaining healthy vision and detecting potential issues early. The articles below provide a basic understanding of common eye conditions and their implications.

The following is a short list of common eye conditions we treat, such as astigmatism, dry eye syndrome and presbyopia. For information about cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy please see Eye Disease Management.
- AstigmatismAstigmatism is a very common eye condition that's easily corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses and on some occasions, surgery.→
- Dry EyesDry eye syndrome (DES) is a chronic condition that develops when your eyes do not produce and maintain enough tears to keep the eye’s surface lubricated.→
- Presbyopia TreatmentAs we reach middle age, particularly after age 40, it is common to start to experience difficulty with reading and performing other tasks that require near vision. This is because with age, the lens of our eye becomes increasingly inflexible, making it harder to focus on close objects. This condition is called presbyopia and eventually it happens to some extent, to everyone as they age.→
