You may have questions about this eye ailment and what can be done to maintain normal intraocular pressure.

Your parents or guardians probably made your eye doctor appointments when you were a child. Unless you have eye issues like an oval-shaped cornea or require glasses, it might have become easy for you to neglect to make eye appointments now that you’re an adult.

You should not neglect eye appointments, however, as they can give you a better glimpse into your eye health and help you stay on top of your overall health. At Campus Eye Center, we know how important your eyes are when maintaining your health and well-being.

Many people are affected by amblyopia, but few know this condition by its actual name. What is amblyopia? Amblyopia is an eye condition—commonly known as lazy eye—that generally affects young children. However, if untreated, amblyopia will continue to affect a person into adulthood and can cause vision problems or even total vision loss in the amblyopic eye.
Since young children rely on eyesight and visual development as they grow to learn about the world around them, it is essential to maintain a regular eye exam routine. Once they start attending school, eyesight and proper visual development become even more crucial in getting a proper education.
Have you seen online ads promising that you’ll be able to throw out your glasses if you pay for a “medically proven” program of eye exercises? Don’t fall for the sales pitch.
While there are legitimately helpful vision therapy programs that your optometrist or ophthalmologist may prescribe to help correct particular issues—especially for children—self-help eye exercises are not the same thing. And it would help if you were wary of the claims made by the marketers of these programs.
Unfortunately, at worst, eye exercises can actually harm your eye health or vision by causing strain or injury. Also dangerous is people believing they do not need routine vision care because they’ve subscribed to a self-help program.
Today’s post explores a few questions that our patients often have about eye exercise programs they’ve seen advertised, as well as how these compare to vision therapy supervised by an eye care professional. We’ll also look at some simple things you can do to keep your eyes healthy over time—no eye exercises required. Continue Reading Do Eye Exercises Work? Learn The Truth About Them Here
You’re starting the school year when your child comes home complaining of itchy, watery eyes. They have a history of allergies, so you don’t think much of the complaint until you see those telltale inflamed blood vessels in their eyes and notice that sticky, thick eye discharge. Unfortunately, your child is exhibiting conjunctivitis symptoms, and you may ask yourself, “should I go to the doctor for pink eye?”
For many parents, pink eye is a common concern in daycare or school environments. And while there are several causes and symptoms to watch out for in your children and yourself, not every case is the same. At Campus Eye Center in Lancaster, PA, we take your eye health seriously and know how frustrating any eye condition can be.

Health conditions can be scary, especially when they appear seemingly from nowhere. When the word “tumor” describes something happening in your body, it can cause anxiety or alarm. This anxiety is common for those with a pituitary tumor, often diagnosed by an eye care professional. Because many people neglect their eye care until they begin to have vision problems, it can be frightening to discover something wrong with their eyes that isn’t treatable because they didn’t get help early enough.
Did you know that regular eye exams, even if you do not wear glasses or contacts, can help discover eye conditions like a pituitary tumor, also known as a pituitary adenoma, before you even start to have symptoms? Watching out for pituitary tumors is only one reason you should have an annual eye exam. These exams could save your eyesight for the future, as your eye care professionals will track any changes in your eyes over the years and determine what is normal for you and what seems unusual.
At Campus Eye Center, we encourage everyone to visit their optometrist or ophthalmologist annually. If you are in the Lancaster, PA, area, we are here to help with annual exams, sudden vision problems, or eye disease management. Contact us today to schedule an appointment to see one of our experienced doctors.
Every person’s eyes contain a gel-like liquid, called vitreous, that changes for many reasons. It can happen naturally as you get older, due to disease, or because of an injury. Your eyesight is essential in just about every aspect of your life, so it is vital to have your eyes examined regularly to identify any issues that may arise. Regular eye care and eye exams can detect and help correct many eye problems early on, including issues related to the vitreous, like Posterior Vitreous Detachment.
Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) is a naturally occurring and detectable condition in the vitreous that usually happens after age 50 or alongside an eye injury. At Campus Eye Center, we have helped many patients navigate what to do when exhibiting signs of PVD. Continue reading for information about Posterior Vitreous Detachment and what to do if you are experiencing symptoms of PVD. Continue Reading 8 Questions You Have About Posterior Vitreous Detachment
Each year, World Glaucoma Week raises awareness of glaucoma, a chronic, degenerative disorder of the optic nerve. It’s essential to stay informed about this topic because glaucoma can cause people to lose vision.
Also known as the “silent blinding disease,” glaucoma’s early symptoms are often unnoticeable. Without comprehensive routine vision care, many individuals do not know they have it until after potentially irreversible vision damage has occurred.
There are also multiple types of glaucoma, some of which are related to other eyesight disorders and diseases (known as “secondary” glaucomas. “Primary” glaucomas develops unrelated to other conditions). These facts make it clear that glaucoma is still not a widely enough recognized disease, even though the World Health Organization estimates that about 94 million people globally have blindness caused by glaucoma.
