Everyone has eye floaters occasionally, and they are entirely normal and usually harmless. The number you see may change over time because as we get older, they are more common. Having a sudden or significant increase in eye floaters, however, may be cause for alarm.

Campus Eye Center in Lancaster, PA is always on top of the latest glaucoma treatments so patients like you are getting the best care.

What is Glaucoma?
Before we discuss how Campus Eye Center is using DURYSTA™, let’s discuss what glaucoma is. Glaucoma is a condition of the eyes where the optic nerve is damaged. Elevated intraocular pressure and eye injuries, among other risks, may cause glaucoma. If left untreated, glaucoma can cause vision loss over time, and it is the leading cause of vision impairment in the United States.

Contact lenses can be an excellent alternative to glasses. You don’t have to worry about contacts fogging up with temperature changes and can wear any sunglasses you want with them.

Before searching for a “contact lens exam in Lancaster, PA,” you should know how to wear, clean, and maintain contacts correctly. By following these instructions, you can ensure your eyes remain healthy. Continue Reading Proper Contact Lens Care Starts with an Exam in Lancaster, PA
Do you know the difference between a stye and a chalazion? How about whether either eye condition is severe enough to see an optometrist or ophthalmologist?
If you happened to catch our previous blog post about adult eye infections to watch out for, you probably have an idea. However, in this blog post, we will take a closer look at the differences between a stye and a chalazion, explore what causes them, discuss how they’re diagnosed and treated, and educate you about how they can be prevented.

Have you or someone you know recently been diagnosed with astigmatism by an optometrist in Lancaster, PA? You probably have a lot of questions or concerns about this vision condition. The first of which usually is, “What is astigmatism?”
While you may be under the impression that astigmatism is an ailment or illness, it’s not. Astigmatism is a prevalent eye condition that’s simply a “refractive error.”
When you have astigmatism, it means there is a slight imperfection in the curvature of the cornea of your eye. In other words, it isn’t perfectly round. While a perfectly curved cornea will reflect light rays onto the retina at the back of the eye, astigmatism causes these light rays to refract improperly, resulting in blurred or distorted vision.
In the following article, we’ll go over just what causes astigmatism, how it’s diagnosed, and how to treat it. But above all else, if you’re having vision problems and suspect astigmatism—please schedule an eye exam with your eye doctor today! Continue Reading Astigmatism 101
Have you noticed blurriness in your vision and happened across this article after searching online for an eye exam near me? That’s perfectly understandable. After all, the thought of losing our sight is one of the most unimaginable things that can happen to us.
Unfortunately, it’s surprisingly more imaginable than you might think. As the population matures, macular degeneration will eventually affect 1 in 3 older adults.
Therefore, each February, the American Academy of Ophthalmology spends the month bringing awareness to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD or ARMD), the leading cause of blindness in older Americans. During AMD Awareness Month, Campus Eye Center is doing our part to help educate patients who may have questions about AMD. We believe eye care education—combined with routine eye care—is the best strategy to prevent the process of natural macular degeneration in our patients.
Do you know whether you have glaucoma? No? Then it’s time to find a glaucoma specialist near you. If you’re like the nearly 1.5 million other Americans out there—you probably have no idea if you have this common eye condition. Roughly half of the U.S. glaucoma population goes undiagnosed.
Glaucoma symptoms often start slowly, making them unnoticeable. So, the only way to truly find out is for you to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam.
While there’s no cure for glaucoma, early treatment can often stop the damage and protect your vision.
At Campus Eye Center, one of our primary goals is to provide educational and health resources for our valued patients. Children’s eye health and safety is a foundational topic since parents and caregivers of babies, preschoolers, elementary school students, pre-teens, and teens need to be armed with vital eye health information to ensure their kids can thrive.
Central to this is knowing how critical it is to visit a pediatric eye doctor for an initial eye exam before age one. The earlier healthy eye care habits are established, the better. However, if your child is older and hasn’t yet had an eye exam, there’s no time like the present.
A little while ago, we published a blog post all about eye infections and other conditions in children that parents need to pay attention to. Did you know that at least three of those infections are ones that adults themselves should be concerned about contracting as well? Pink eye (conjunctivitis), stye/chalazion, and orbital cellulitis may actually occur more frequently in adults than children.
We’ll do a quick review of the symptoms of those infections in today’s article, but we also want to draw attention to a few more bacterial and viral infections that commonly affect adults: keratitis, blepharitis, and uveitis. Continue Reading 6 Common Adult Eye Infections You Should Watch For
Not all eye diseases and eye health issues cause pain, which is why keeping up with routine eye exams is crucial to detect conditions that may not be obvious without a close examination of the eyes.
Optic neuritis—the medical name for swelling of the optic nerve—typically announces itself with pain. And anytime you experience eye pain, it is wise to contact an experienced eye care provider to advise you and perform an emergency eye exam. Eye pain is not normal, and eye pain with noticeable vision loss—as can occur with optic neuritis—is an eye health emergency.
Campus Eye Center is an exceptional eye center with experienced eye doctors, Ophthalmogists and Optometrists, in Lancaster, PA.
We offer total vision care including contact lenses and revolutionary Lasik eye surgery at our eye and laser center.
