Floaters are small specks or cobweb-like shapes that drift across your field of vision. They are usually caused by changes in the vitreous gel inside the eye and usually don’t pose any harm. However, if you notice a sudden increase in floaters or flashes of light, it could indicate a retinal tear or detachment, which requires immediate attention. 

Red eyes have a host of causes, such as dryness, allergies, or eye strain. However, persistent redness may indicate more serious issues like conjunctivitis (pink eye), uveitis, or glaucoma. If your eyes are consistently red and painful, it’s time to seek help.  

• Glaucoma: Symptoms may include peripheral vision loss, halos around lights, and eye pain, but it often develops without physical symptoms, making regular eye exams even more important.  

• Cataracts: Symptoms include blurry vision, increased sensitivity to light, and faded colors. Both conditions require early detection for effective management. 

Myopia, or nearsightedness, can be managed with: 

• Specialty Spectacle Lenses: Designed to slow progression. 

• Specialty Soft Contact Lenses: Myopia control-specific lenses. 

• Orthokeratology: Lenses that reshape your cornea overnight for clear vision during the day. 

• Atropine Drops: Low-dose medication shown to slow myopia progression. 

At Pacific Eye Doctors, we offer tailored myopia management plans for children and adults. 

The American Optometric Association recommends a child’s first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months old, followed by another at 3 years and again before starting school. Once they’re enrolled in school they should have annual eye exams. Comprehensive pediatric eyecare is vital for academic development, socialization and overall confidence.
