https://vimeo.com/989397662?share=copy Have you noticed your vision becoming cloudy or blurred lately? This could be a sign of cataracts, a common eye condition that Dr. Robison at The Eye Pros in Boise, Idaho sees frequently. In this video, Dr. Robison explains what cataracts are, the symptoms to watch for, and the treatment options available. Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye, which normally focuses light, becomes cloudy. This can make it difficult to see clearly, especially in low light or when looking at bright lights. Hi, I’m Dr. Robison with The Eye Pros in Boise, Idaho. I just wanted to talk to you guys a little bit about something we commonly see every day: cataracts. Cataracts are just a clouding of the lens. They get harder and more densely cloudy. It’s like looking through a foggy or dirty window, especially at night. Bright lights will be terrible. And so, if you’re seeing any of these kinds of symptoms, come in and see us at The Eye Pros. Dr. Chris Robison Tweet I have been using Eyemart Express for several years. I have eye appointments every 6 months and have also purchased glasses there as well. It is a one stop place to get everything done if you have any eye issues. I am very happy with Dr. Thompson as well as he stays on top of any issues I may have going on. Thanks everybody. Linda Briggs Several great doctors and amazing prices on exams and contact lenses.

Blurry Vision? Learn How Astigmatism Treatment Can Help You See Clearly

A woman sitting at a table in a kitchen holds her glasses in one hand and pinches the bridge of her nose with the other, struggling to see clearly while working on a laptop.

Are you experiencing blurry vision, both near and far? Do straight lines sometimes appear doubled? These could be signs of astigmatism. In this video, Dr. Eric Thompson, one of the co-owners and ophthalmologists at Eye Pros, will explain what astigmatism is and how it affects your vision. Dr. Thompson will also discuss how a simple eye exam can diagnose astigmatism and how corrective lenses, like glasses or contacts, can help you see clearly again. Hello everyone. I’m Dr. Thompson. Over at Eye Pros, one of our seven doctors and one of our co-owners, we explain astigmatism. Astigmatism is a fancy medical term for an irregularly shaped eye or an irregular curve of the eye. When a picture or a letter enters your eye, it often doubles into two different images. So, during your eye examination, we’re able to measure those two different images and correct it with a pair of glasses or a pair of contacts. People with astigmatism tend to have blurry vision, both far away and up close, on their computer or on their phone. It is something we can definitely take care of and help you see better through an eye examination. Dr. Eric Thompson Tweet I have been using Eyemart Express for several years.

The good news is that astigmatism is easily treatable with eyeglasses or contact lenses fitted after a comprehensive eye exam.
