SPECIALTY EYECARE
DRY EYE SPECIALISTS
Over 59 million people in the United States suffer from dry eye syndrome. Dry eye is the term used to describe eyes that either do not produce enough tears or have abnormalities in the tear film composition. The dry eye specialists at Vonnahme Eye Care provide an array of treatment options to combat the symptoms.
STABILIZING MYOPIA
Myopia (nearsightedness) is a condition that is associated with blurred vision at distance although vision at near is clear. At Vonnahme Eye Care we have myopia prevention options that will limit the progression of myopia as well as develop a program that you are most comfortable with.
COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMS
Regular eye exams are important, even if your current vision is sharp. Eye exams at every age and life stage can help keep your vision strong. Improving your eyesight is important—about 11 million Americans over age 12 need vision correction—but it’s just one of the reasons to get your eyes examined. Regular eye exams are also an important part of finding eye diseases early and preserving your vision.
Our comprehensive eye exams include a number of tests to assess your overall eye health. At Vonnahme Eye Care we use top-of-the-line medical equipment and cutting-edge technologies that enable us to provide you with the best quality of care that you and your family deserve.
KERATOCONUS TREATMENT & CARE
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease in which the normally round cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. This cone shape deflects light as it enters the eye on its way to the light-sensitive retina, causing distorted vision. Tiny fibers of protein in the eye called collagen help hold the cornea in place and keep it from bulging. When these fibers become weak, they cannot hold the shape and the cornea becomes progressively more cone shaped.
CONTACT LENS SPECIALISTS
As one of the largest contact lens practices in the Western MA we have extensive experience in fitting all types of Contact Lenses. This experience allows us to provide you with the most up-to-date materials and designs as well as to keep you informed of the latest advances in eye care technology at a affordable cost.
COMPUTER EYESTRAIN
Computer Vision Syndrome is an increasingly common condition as digital devices become more ingrained into our daily lives. Computer vision syndrome (CVS) results from extended exposure to digital screens such as computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. A combination of factors contribute to the effect these devices have on our eyes.
VITAMIN THERAPY
Vitamin A, C and E. Lutein and Zeaxanthin. Vitamin B2 are all important vitamins for the eyes. Vitamin Supplements can provide your body with the ingredients that are difficult to obtain in our fast paced lifestyles. There are certain eye vitamins we recommend, such as EyePromise Restore, and EZ Tears for dry eye. Ask Vonnahme Eye Care about these health additives.
EMERGENCY EYECARE
Vonnahme Eye Care is equipped to properly treat eye emergencies with our start of the art technology. When an eye injury occurs, it is important to try washing the eye with a sterile solution. It is important to remember not to rub your eye as you risk spreading infectious bacteria to the eye.
