If you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use the insulin it makes as well as it should. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.

Astigmatism is an imperfection in the curvature of your eye’s cornea and/or lens. The curvature of the cornea and/or lens is irregular resulting in blurred and/or distorted vision for near and far distances. Normally, the cornea and lens are smooth and curved equally in all directions.

Myopia is nearsightedness. In myopia, close/near objects look clear but distant objects appear are not in focus. Myopia is a common condition. It is an eye focusing disorder, not an eye disease.

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, is the use of specially designed and fitted hard contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea to improve vision.

Digital-related eye strain can affect anyone who spends hours a day using digital devices. You might experience headaches, vision blurring, achy eyes, feel grittiness as well as tired eyes. You may also find your eyes become dry with tearing or stinging. This eye strain is the same as the symptoms you may have when reading, writing or doing “close work” like sewing for long periods of time.
