A child’s vision plays a vital role in their growth and development, impacting how they learn, play, and interact with the world around them. Unfortunately, many vision problems in children can go unnoticed without regular eye exams, potentially hindering their academic performance, social interactions, and overall well-being. At Drs. Farkas, Kassalow, Resnick & Associates, we are passionate about helping children maintain healthy vision and ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed.

Scleral lenses are a specialized type of contact lens that rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye) and vault over the cornea. These lenses are particularly beneficial for patients with irregular corneas, dry eyes, or conditions like keratoconus. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect during the fitting process at Drs. Farkas, Kassalow, Resnick & Associates.

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the normally round cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped. This irregular shape causes light entering the eye to be distorted, leading to blurry and distorted vision. For those with keratoconus, managing this condition often requires more than traditional corrective lenses. Specialty contact lenses offer a highly effective option for patients, helping to improve visual clarity and quality of life.

Have you been noticing halos around lights or experiencing increased glare, especially at night? These symptoms can be unsettling and disruptive to daily life, making activities like driving at night more difficult. While these signs might be caused by various eye conditions, one possible cause to consider is keratoconus.

Wearing contact lenses can be a convenient alternative to glasses, but when they don’t fit properly, they can cause discomfort and vision problems. At Drs. Farkas, Kassalow, Resnick & Associates, we understand how frustrating ill-fitting contact lenses can be and are here to help you understand why this might be happening and what you can do about it.

Have you ever noticed small specks, strings, or cobwebs drifting across your field of vision? These are known as eye floaters, and they are a common occurrence that many people experience. While they can be a nuisance, it's important to understand what they are, what causes them, and when they may indicate a more serious eye condition.

Having clear and comfortable vision is essential for your overall well-being and quality of life. Vision correction through glasses or contact lenses can help you see the world more clearly, improve your daily activities, and reduce the strain on your eyes. Whether you're nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, finding the right vision correction solution is crucial for maintaining your eye health and supporting your lifestyle.

At Drs. Farkas, Kassalow, Resnick & Associates, we understand that not all vision problems can be effectively corrected with standard eyeglasses or contact lenses. That's where specialty contact lenses come into play. These advanced lenses are designed to address a range of complex eye conditions, offering improved vision and comfort for many patients.
