Better Care for Diverse Populations

Clarity Eye Center provides care for a culturally diverse patient population. We treat patients who vary in shapes, sizes, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, health, ability, education, expressive traits, and linguistic styles.

WE NOW TREAT WITH TEPEZZA

TEPEZZA is indicated for the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease.

TEPEZZA, the first and only FDA-approved treatment specifically for TED, works at the source of the disease.

TEPEZZA has been shown to be effective in patients with a wide range of clinical manifestations.

TEPEZZA alleviates many of the symptoms of TED by producing anatomic changes to the tissues behind the eye.

What is the 20 20 20 rule?

For every 20 minutes a person looks at a screen, they should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Following the rule is a great way to remember to take frequent breaks. This may reduce eye strain caused by looking at digital screens for too long.

WHY WORKPLACE EYE WELLNESS MONTH IS IMPORTANT

C. It reminds us to be healthy

Eye wellness is also an individual goal. Whether it’s wearing a pair of safety goggles when required, or eating nutritious food that’s good for our eyes and body, we need to work towards improving our eye health and preventing injury and disease.

What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts are cloudy areas that form on the lens of your eye. Your lens is a clear, flexible structure made mostly of proteins (crystallins). As you get older, the proteins in your lens break down, forming cloudy patches that affect your vision.

You may feel as if you’re looking at the world through a dirty window. Over time, your vision gets worse. You may have a hard time carrying out routine tasks.

Healthcare providers consider cataracts an inevitable part of aging, and age-related cataracts is the most common form of the condition.

But you don’t have to live with fading vision. Our Ophthalmologists here at Clarity Eye Center can do surgery to remove the cataracts and restore your vision.

It’s Workplace Eye Wellness Month, What Serious Dangers are at Your Job?

THE MOST COMMON WORKPLACE EYE INJURIES INCLUDE:

Do you have Glaucoma or think you might?

A glaucoma specialist can determine the specific stage of your disease, estimate your risk for vision loss and blindness, and decide whether to initiate treatment. Contact Clarity Eye Center to learn more about glaucoma and schedule a comprehensive eye exam.

Workplace Eye Injuries

Common causes of eye injuries at work include chemicals, eye strain from digital devices, tools, harmful radiation, chemicals, and flying debris like glass or metal bits. Not wearing any eye protection and wearing ill-fitting or improper safety eyewear are the main culprits behind most eye injuries at work.

And for those working in an office setting, excessive use of smart devices, laptops, and computers can lead to digital eye strain.

Myth: All eye doctors are the same.

Ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians each play an important role in eye care. But their levels of training and expertise are quite different from each other.

An ophthalmologist is a medical school graduate with at least 12 years of training, including 4 years of college and at least 8 years of post-graduate medical training. Ophthalmologists are the only eye care providers worldwide who are licensed to practice both medicine and surgery and are also involved in scientific research on the causes and cures for eye diseases and vision disorders.

An optometrist completes at least 3 years of college and 4 years of optometry training, and is licensed to do eye exams and vision tests, prescribe and disperse corrective lenses, detect certain eye abnormalities and prescribe medicine for some eye diseases.

An optician is a professional who prepares, measures and adapts the fit of eyeglass or contact prescriptions written by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Though an optician is not an eye doctor, they do complete a 2-year degree in opticianry, or a 6,000-hour apprenticeship.
