If you wear glasses, you know how essential clear vision is to your daily life. But when was the last time you updated your prescription? Many people wait until their vision becomes noticeably blurry or uncomfortable before considering a change. However, regularly updating your glasses prescription is vital for more than just crisp sight - it’s about protecting your overall eye health, too.

Ptosis repair and blepharoplasty are common oculoplastic procedures designed to improve the function and appearance of the eyelids. Ptosis repair focuses on correcting drooping of the upper eyelid that can interfere with vision, while blepharoplasty targets excess skin, muscle, or fat on the upper or lower eyelids to create a more refreshed appearance. If you’re planning either of these surgeries, understanding the recovery timeline is an important step in preparing for a smooth, comfortable experience.

When it comes to protecting your vision, understanding your eye health is the first step. Vision changes can happen gradually or suddenly, and being informed about potential conditions like keratoconus can make a significant difference in how they’re managed.

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide, and age is a major risk factor in its development. Often called the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma typically progresses without symptoms until irreversible damage has already occurred. Understanding how age affects your risk can help you take proactive steps to protect your vision.

Cataracts are a common eye condition, particularly as we age. This clouding of the lens in the eye can impair vision, leading to blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. While cataracts are typically associated with aging, they can develop at different rates and in different ways.
