Common Eye Conditions Managed in Pinole
Changes in your vision can happen gradually or suddenly, and in many cases, they’re the result of common eye conditions that are manageable with professional care. At Eye Love Optometry, we help patients of all ages understand their symptoms and find solutions that support clear, comfortable sight.
What Is an Eye Condition?
An eye condition is a non-disease-related issue that affects how well your eyes focus, work together, or feel throughout the day. People commonly experience these conditions, and many can be corrected or managed with glasses, contact lenses, or specialized care. While they don’t always pose a risk to your long-term vision, they can still affect your daily comfort and quality of life.
Common Eye Conditions We Treat at Eye Love Optometry
We offer care for a full range of eye conditions and visual concerns, including:
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry while nearby vision stays clear. It often develops in childhood and may get worse over time without correction.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
With hyperopia, close-up tasks like reading can feel more difficult, while distance vision remains sharp. Some patients don’t notice symptoms until their eyes start to strain.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism occurs when the front of the eye isn’t perfectly round, causing light to focus unevenly. This leads to blurry or distorted vision at any distance.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is an age-related condition that makes it harder to focus on close objects, usually noticeable around age 40. Reading glasses or multifocal lenses are common solutions.
Dry Eye Syndrome
When your eyes don’t produce enough quality tears, it can lead to burning, stinging, and blurry vision. Dry eye is especially common in adults and may feel worse with screen use or contact lenses.
Eye Strain (Digital Eye Strain)
Spending long hours on screens can lead to tired, sore eyes. This condition is often temporary but may benefit from changes to your lenses, habits, or work setup.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Amblyopia occurs when one eye doesn’t develop normal vision, often in childhood. It can be treated if caught early through vision therapy, glasses, or patching.
Strabismus (Eye Misalignment)
When your eyes don’t line up properly, it can cause double vision, headaches, or difficulty focusing. Early diagnosis is key, especially in young children.
