Comprehensive eye exams evaluate all aspects of your vision and eye health.
The comprehensive eye exam looks at your eye externally and internally for any signs of eye disease, then tests your vision in a variety of ways.
If contact lenses are appropriate for you, it's time to talk about your contact lens preferences.
For example, do you want to enhance or change your eye color?
Would you prefer daily disposable lenses or overnight contacts?
Ask about the benefits or drawbacks of each, so you make the best decision.

Vision therapy is a doctor-supervised, non-surgical and customized program of visual activities designed to correct certain vision problems and/or improve visual skills.
Unlike eyeglasses which simply compensate for vision problems or eye surgery that alters the anatomy of the eye or surrounding muscles, vision therapy aims to "teach" the visual system to correct itself.
Unlike other forms of exercise, the goal of Vision Therapy is not to "strengthen" eye muscles.
Your eye muscles are already incredibly strong.

Sports vision training works on improving the visual abilities of an athlete that are most necessary for excellence in their sport.
Some of these abilities include eye-hand coordination, dynamic visual acuity, tracking, focusing, visual reaction time, and peripheral vision.
All activities are done on a sport-specific basis with a custom-tailored program for each sport and athlete.
Therefore, a program for a tennis player will emphasize eye-hand coordination and dynamic visual acuity whereas a program for a golfer will concentrate on visual alignment and depth perception to see the breaks in the greens.

Myopia or nearsightedness is the inability to see things clearly at a distance.
These people require glasses to see far away.
In the 1970s, only 25% of Americans were myopic.
Today that number is 42%.
That is a 66% increase.
The National Eye Institute believes that 39 million Americans will be nearsighted (myopic) by the year 2020.
It isn't just in the US that we are seeing this shift.
In Canada, 72.4% of people age 20-24 are nearsighted.
In Taiwan 84% of individuals aged 16-18 are nearsighted.
