Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults over the age of 50. While AMD can significantly impact central vision and everyday activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces, there are important steps you can take to protect your eyesight and reduce your risk. Understanding what AMD is, whether it can be prevented, and how routine eye exams play a role in early detection can make a meaningful difference in long-term eye health.

If you live in Texas and struggle with dry, irritated eyes, you’re not alone. While occasional dryness can happen anywhere, the Texas climate creates the perfect conditions for dry eye disease to become a chronic, ongoing problem. What many people don’t realize is that dry eye is more than a minor annoyance - it’s a medical condition that can affect your vision, comfort, and long-term eye health if left untreated.

In today’s digital world, many people experience headaches, eye strain, neck pain, and fatigue - especially after long hours on phones, computers, or tablets. These symptoms often stem from a condition called trigeminal dysphoria, where the visual system struggles to maintain comfortable alignment. Neurolens® glasses are designed specifically to address this issue by using advanced, customizable lens technology that reduces eye misalignment and helps relieve these uncomfortable symptoms.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve - the part of your eye responsible for sending visual information to your brain. This damage often occurs due to increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) and can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. Because glaucoma develops gradually and often without early symptoms, understanding who is at risk is key to early detection and prevention.

If you spend long hours working on a computer, tablet, or phone, chances are you’ve experienced the effects of digital eye strain. Common symptoms include headaches, blurred vision, neck pain, or even a sense of fatigue that sets in well before the workday ends. While taking breaks and adjusting your screen setup can help, many people continue to struggle with discomfort. That’s where Neurolens® comes in.

Cataracts are one of the most common eye conditions affecting adults as they age. This condition occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, making it difficult for light to pass through clearly. Over time, cataracts can cause blurred or hazy vision, sensitivity to glare, difficulty seeing at night, and faded colors.

Macular degeneration is a common eye condition, especially among adults over the age of 50, that affects the central part of your vision.

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that can cause stinging, burning, or a gritty sensation in the eyes. While environmental factors and screen time often get the blame, what you eat may also influence the severity of your symptoms. At Lone Star Vision, we believe in a comprehensive approach to eye health, which includes not only clinical care but also education on how lifestyle choices like nutrition can make a difference.

When most people think about vision, they focus on clarity. But good vision goes beyond sharp eyesight. It also includes how well your eyes work together, how smoothly they move, and how efficiently your brain processes what you see. If any part of this system is off balance, it can lead to a range of issues, from eye strain and headaches to difficulties with reading and learning.
