Expert Solutions for Vision Conditions in Nashville
A New Perspective for Farsighted Patients
Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is where distant objects are seen more clearly than close ones due to the eye's inability to focus correctly. You can effectively manage it through various treatment options, like prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. The selection of treatment depends on the severity of hyperopia and individual preferences.
Astigmatism Solutions for Clear Vision
Astigmatism is a refractive error in the eye resulting from an uneven curvature of the cornea or lens. This causes light to focus on multiple points rather than a single point on the retina, leading to distorted or blurred vision. Prescription eyeglasses, toric lenses, and refractive surgeries like LASIK or PRK can rectify astigmatism.
Treating Presbyopia With Glasses and More
Presbyopia is an age-related eye condition where the eye's natural lens loses flexibility, resulting in difficulty focusing on close-up objects. We can correct it with:
- Bifocal Glasses: Combining distance and close vision prescriptions in one lens
- Reading Glasses: Prescription eyeglasses specifically for close-up tasks
- Multifocal Contact Lenses: Similar to bifocal glasses for presbyopia, but in contact lens form
- Monovision: We correct one eye for distance and the other for close vision
Personalized Myopia Management Solutions
Myopia (nearsightedness) is an increasingly prevalent refractive error among children. It causes distant objects to appear blurry while close objects are clear. Management options include corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses that enhance distant vision by focusing light onto the retina. Additionally, lifestyle adjustments like promoting outdoor activities and reducing screen time may aid in slowing myopia progression.

Soothing Dry Eye With Tailored Treatments
Dry eye syndrome is a common eye condition in which the eyes don't produce enough tears or poor-quality tears, leading to various uncomfortable symptoms. Lubricating eye drops, known as artificial tears, offer relief by supplementing natural moisture. Lifestyle adjustments can alleviate symptoms, like staying hydrated, using a humidifier, and managing screen time. Moreover, we may suggest prescription medications to stimulate tear production. For more severe cases, punctal plugs are placed in tear ducts to maintain tear presence.
