When people hear about Orthokeratology - often called Ortho-K - they frequently assume it’s only for children or teenagers. While Ortho-K is well known for helping slow myopia progression in kids, many adults are surprised to learn that this vision correction option can be just as effective for them.
Myopia is becoming increasingly common in children. More kids are being diagnosed at younger ages, and without proper management, myopia can worsen year after year.
Childhood myopia (nearsightedness) continues to be a growing concern. Children are developing myopia at younger ages, increasing the risk for serious eye diseases later in life.
Living with irregular corneas can make even simple tasks like reading, driving, or using a computer feel frustrating. Standard glasses and contact lenses often fall short, leaving patients searching for a more reliable solution. At San Marcos Vision Center, we offer advanced treatment options, including scleral lenses, designed to restore clarity, comfort, and confidence for those struggling with irregular corneal conditions.
As the seasons shift in San Marcos, many people look forward to blooming flowers in spring or the crisp air of fall. Unfortunately, these seasonal changes often bring an unwelcome guest: allergies. Itchy, watery eyes, congestion, and sneezing are common signs that pollen and other allergens are in the air. Knowing how to protect your eyes can make a big difference in your comfort.
As children grow and develop, so do their eyes. However, in today’s digital age, more children are being diagnosed with myopia, or nearsightedness, at younger ages. Understanding the signs of myopia and scheduling regular eye exams can make a lasting difference in your child’s vision and overall quality of life.
When it comes to vision correction, contact lenses have become a preferred choice for many people who value both comfort and clarity. While standard soft lenses work well for a wide range of prescriptions, they may not offer the best fit or vision quality for every individual.
As we age, it is common to notice changes in our vision, especially when it comes to seeing clearly at varying distances. If you find yourself switching between multiple pairs of glasses for reading, computer use, and distance vision, progressive lenses may be the solution you have been looking for. But how do you know if you are a good candidate?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregular curvature can distort vision, making everyday tasks more challenging and potentially dangerous if left untreated. Understanding how keratoconus impacts daily life can help you recognize symptoms early and seek proper care from our eye doctor in San Marcos.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Often called the "silent thief of sight," this eye disease develops gradually and typically without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. One of the most significant risk factors for glaucoma is family history, making it important to understand whether glaucoma is hereditary and how it could impact your vision.
