The staff at Somers Eye Center specialize in helping patients see clearly by providing a wide range of correction choices such as glasses, contact lenses, and lens implants.
Common vision problems include:
Nearsightedness, or myopia, occurs when viewing objects from a distance is blurred.
Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is a common condition in which objects up close are blurry. Squinting, eyestrain or headache after a prolonged period of tasks such as reading, writing or using a computer are common symptoms of this condition.
Presbyopia describes the gradual loss of the ability to focus on nearby objects, most recognizable when reading from an arm’s distance away.
Astigmatism is a common and easily treatable imperfection in the curvature of your eye causing blurred vision. Signs may also include eyestrain, headaches or visual distortion. This condition may occur in combination with nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Spectacle Lenses
Not all lenses are created the same! From single vision lenses that correct a patient’s vision at one distance to progressive addition lenses for patients with presbyopia, our staff will advise you about which type of lens will be the best for you. If your prescription is large, we can prescribe a material that can make the lenses thinner and lighter to allow your eyes (and ears!) to comfortably enjoy your new glasses all day long.
Contact Lenses
Contact lenses can be fit on patients of all ages! From daily disposable lenses to monthly replacement, from simple single vision lenses for young people all the way to bifocal and gas permeable contact lenses our doctors will work with you to find a comfortable solution that provides you with the best vision possible. We keep a large inventory of trial contact lens to reduce your time spent in our office and the number of trips to our office for contact lens follow ups.
