At Los Alamitos Optometry, we’re dedicated to providing the highest quality eye care to ensure your vision and eye health remain at their best. One of the advancements we proudly offer is wide field retinal imaging, a cutting-edge technology that allows us to capture detailed images of the retina, helping in early diagnosis and treatment of various eye conditions. But what exactly are the benefits of wide field retinal imaging, and why should you consider this technology at your next eye exam?

Myopia is a refractive error in the eye that causes distant objects to appear blurred while nearby objects are clear. This condition occurs when the eyeball is slightly longer than normal or when the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) has a stronger curvature, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.

Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when the eyes don't produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. It can cause discomfort, irritation, and even vision problems. When you combine dry eye with wearing contact lenses, it can amplify these issues and make it challenging to wear contacts comfortably.

Your child's eye health is a crucial aspect of their overall development. Healthy eyes and vision are essential for the educational, physical, and social growth of your little ones. However, children often cannot articulate if they're experiencing vision problems since they may not even realize it.
