If you wear contact lenses, it might seem harmless to skip your annual contact lens exam - especially if your vision feels fine and your prescription hasn’t changed. But what many patients don’t realize is that contact lens exams are about much more than simply updating a prescription. Skipping them can lead to hidden eye health problems, discomfort, and even higher costs in the long run.

Contact lenses provide a convenient and comfortable way to correct vision without the need for glasses. However, improper care can lead to discomfort, infections, and even serious eye conditions.

At Iris Bright Optometry, we believe that being informed about eye health can help prevent serious complications down the road. Recognizing the early signs and symptoms of common eye diseases is essential, as timely detection allows for better treatment and outcomes. Let’s look at some of the most prevalent eye conditions, their symptoms, and when to seek professional care.

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent vision condition in children. It occurs when the eye grows too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in blurred distance vision, which can significantly impact a child's daily activities, academic performance, and overall quality of life.

Dry eye is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to discomfort, irritation, and vision problems. Dry eye can occur for various reasons, and it is important to understand the causes and symptoms in order to seek appropriate treatment.
