Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide, yet many people are unaware they have it until permanent damage has already occurred. Often referred to as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma typically develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. At Fulshear Eye Center, we emphasize the importance of routine medical eye exams to detect glaucoma early, monitor eye health changes, and help preserve your vision for years to come.

Myopia is becoming increasingly common in children worldwide. It occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This leads to blurry distance vision and, over time, can increase the risk of serious eye conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Fortunately, innovative treatments like MiSight® 1 day contact lenses are helping to slow down myopia progression in children.

If you're new to scleral lenses, here's a beginner’s guide to help you get started.
