Our eyes are one of the most important organs in our body. They allow us to see the world around us and experience its beauty. Unfortunately, our eyes are also susceptible to a variety of conditions that can affect our vision. Some of the most common eye conditions include myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Avant Eyes Optometry today announced the expansion of their dry eye management options to include OptiLight by Lumenis, a light-based treatment.

You may have noticed that your vision is only blurry when you drive at nighttime, but during the day you feel you see well. There are multiple causes for this, including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, uncorrected refractive error (do you need glasses?) and most commonly, dry eye disease.
Generally, vision screenings detect overt vision problems such as drastically reduced vision abnormal pupillary light reflexes, leukocoria or eye muscle imbalances.
