Myopia has become a growing concern in the modern era. As our world becomes increasingly digitized, with screens and near-work activities dominating our daily lives, the prevalence of myopia has skyrocketed. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that by 2050, nearly 50% of the global population will be affected by this refractive error.

Dry eye is characterized by insufficient tear production or excessive tear evaporation. This imbalance leads to discomfort, irritation, and potential vision problems. One of the primary causes of dry eye is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a condition where the meibomian glands (located in the eyelids) fail to produce enough oil to prevent tear evaporation.

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to a lack of lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eyes, causing discomfort and irritation. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and risk factors can help individuals identify and manage this condition effectively.

LASIK is a refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea to improve the way light enters the eye and focuses on the retina. This is done by using a laser to create a thin flap on the cornea, which is then lifted to access the underlying tissue.

Digital eyestrain, also known as computer vision syndrome, is a common condition that comes with prolonged use of screens. Typical symptoms include blurred vision, dry eyes, headaches, and neck or shoulder pain.

The eyes are among the most sensitive body organs, which is crucial when you need to navigate the world and communicate effectively. While they are sensitive, they behave stealthily—many eye conditions do not present symptoms until they are in advanced stages.  This paradox stems from how the brain adjusts to your changing vision due to eye conditions. Because of this paradox, comprehensive eye exams are the only way to ensure that your vision and eye health are intact.
