Fell asleep with your lenses on? Most of us do this because nothing really happens. But you can’t expect to get that lucky every time. Unlike glasses, contact lenses are optical devices placed directly on the eye’s tear film. If the device is not used carefully, you are at risk of keratitis, an unexpected infection, […]

you ever found yourself squinting at a road sign after sunset, struggling with oncoming headlights, or taking extra care on stairs in a dimly lit room? You may simply blame tired eyes, but there could be more to it. Blurry vision at night can sometimes indicate nyctalopia, commonly called night blindness. It does not mean […]

Started holding your phone farther away to read a message? Finding restaurant menus harder to read unless the lighting is bright? These small changes may be signs of presbyopia. Presbyopia is a natural age-related vision change that gradually reduces the eye’s ability to focus on nearby objects. It usually becomes noticeable after the 40s and […]

Woken up with your eyes stuck shut this monsoon? Or noticed that familiar redness, watering and irritation after a rainy commute? You may be dealing with pink eye, medically known as conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the thin membrane covering the white part of the eye and inner eyelids.

Ever wondered why your ophthalmologist keeps encouraging you to have “regular eye pressure checks,” especially after your 40s, even when your vision feels perfectly fine? The reason is “glaucoma”. Glaucoma is often silent until real damage has already occurred, and it doesn’t show up as just one condition; it comes in several distinct types, each […]

For many people, glasses are more than just a vision aid; they become part of every decision, whether it’s carrying a spare pair while travelling, dealing with fogged-up lenses during the monsoon, or taking out contact lenses before the day is even over because their eyes feel dry. If you’re considering a more permanent solution, […]

Do you constantly find yourself wiping your eyes throughout the day? Watery eyes are often dismissed as harmless issues, and they usually are. We tend to blame our long hours of scrolling, increasing pollution, and lack of sleep for this seemingly small problem. But, at times, they could also ring warning bells for more serious […]

Have you recently found yourself holding your phone a little further away than usual?
