If a parent or sibling has just been diagnosed with glaucoma, mention it at your next eye exam, even if you can still read the smallest line on the eye chart. The most common form of glaucoma can affect side vision so gradually that you still see clearly straight ahead. At our Arcadia and Pasadena offices, we use your family history to help decide what to check and how often.

For active kids, glasses and daytime contact lenses can sometimes feel limiting. Between school, sports, outdoor activities, and busy schedules, families may be looking for another way to manage nearsightedness. At Clarity Advanced Optometry, we offer Ortho-K as part of our comprehensive myopia management options for children in Pasadena, Arcadia, and surrounding communities.

Living with dry eye can make everyday activities less comfortable, especially when burning, redness, irritation, or excessive tearing keeps returning. While lubricating eye drops can provide temporary relief, some patients need treatment that addresses what is contributing to their symptoms.

Digital eye strain (also called computer vision syndrome) has become incredibly common as work, school, and entertainment increasingly revolve around screens. While many people assume the problem is simply “too much screen time,” the truth is that several lesser-known factors play a major role in eye discomfort.

Myopia is becoming increasingly common among children, with more kids needing glasses at a younger age than ever before.

If you’re new to contact lenses, it’s normal to wonder how long it will take before they feel comfortable and natural to wear. While many people adjust quickly, the transition period can vary based on the type of lenses you wear, your prescription, and your eye health. Understanding what to expect can help make the process smoother and more successful.

Dry eye syndrome is a common and often frustrating condition that affects millions of people. Whether it's occasional discomfort or a persistent problem impacting your quality of life, understanding the causes and symptoms of dry eye syndrome is the first step toward effective relief and management.

Myopia is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially among children. With the rise in digital screen time and reduced outdoor activities, more young individuals are developing myopia at an earlier age. While corrective glasses or contact lenses can help with vision, they do not slow myopia’s progression. Early detection and proactive intervention are essential to managing myopia effectively, reducing the risk of long-term complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic maculopathy.

Ortho-K, short for orthokeratology, is a non-surgical, overnight solution for myopia management that allows you to correct your vision while you sleep. By wearing custom-designed contact lenses at night, Ortho-K gently reshapes the cornea, the front surface of the eye, to correct nearsightedness, so you can see clearly during the day without needing glasses or daytime contacts.
