As the year comes to a close, many vision insurance benefits are approaching their expiration date. If you haven’t used your benefits yet, you may be leaving valuable coverage unused. Vision plans typically operate on a “use it or lose it” basis, meaning any remaining benefits usually reset on January 1. Scheduling an appointment at City Eye Optometry before the end of the year allows you to protect your eye health while getting the most value from your vision insurance.

Children rely on their vision to learn, play, and explore the world around them. Clear vision is crucial for reading, writing, sports, and developing essential coordination skills.

Myopia has become one of the most widespread vision conditions worldwide. Many parents often wonder: If I have myopia, will my child inevitably inherit it?

Contact lenses are a safe, convenient way to correct vision - when they’re properly prescribed and fitted. Unfortunately, many people are tempted to purchase contacts online or from unverified retailers without a valid prescription.

Wearing contact lenses makes life more convenient, but it also means staying on top of your eye health. Because contact rest directly on the surface of your eyes, it’s essential to keep your prescription current to maintain clear vision, prevent discomfort, and safeguard long-term eye health.

At City Eye Optometry, we believe that exceptional vision care goes beyond routine eye exams. Our commitment to using the latest, most advanced eye care technology ensures that our patients receive the highest standard of care every time they visit.

When most people think of eye exams, they think of checking for blurry vision or updating their prescription. But a comprehensive eye exam is much more than that. It serves as a window into your overall health. At City Eye Optometry, we believe in taking a complete and connected approach to vision care, which includes using your eye health as a valuable tool to detect early signs of broader health conditions.

When it comes to managing myopia (nearsightedness) in children and teens, comfort is just as important as effectiveness. Many parents wonder whether contact lenses are a practical option for younger wearers, especially those new to lenses. MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses have been specifically designed with kids and teens in mind, and one of the key benefits they offer is comfort.

At City Eye Optometry, our goal is to provide each patient with the most accurate and comprehensive eye care available. One of the essential tools we rely on for this purpose is the slit lamp, a high-powered microscope that gives eye care professionals a detailed, magnified view of the eye’s structures. This technology plays a crucial role in identifying a wide range of eye conditions early, often before symptoms even begin to appear.

When life gets busy, it’s easy to push an eye exam to the bottom of your to-do list. If you’re not having any vision problems, you might wonder, Do I really need an eye exam every year? The truth is, annual eye exams do more than just check whether you need new glasses or contacts—they play a critical role in protecting your long-term eye health.
