When most people think about eye care, they think of glasses, contact lenses, or eye surgery. But there’s another powerful treatment option that often goes overlooked: vision therapy. Vision therapy is a customized, doctor-supervised program designed to improve how the eyes and brain work together. Rather than simply correcting vision clarity, it focuses on strengthening visual skills that impact learning, comfort, and daily performance. At Ciotti Eye Care, vision therapy is used to treat a wide range of visual conditions in both children and adults.

When most people think about vision problems, they assume glasses or contact lenses are the only solutions. While corrective lenses are essential for many patients, they don’t address every visual challenge. Some vision issues stem not from the eyes themselves, but from how the brain processes visual information. At Ciotti Eye Care, vision therapy is used to help patients strengthen visual skills, enhance comfort, and improve performance in everyday tasks like reading, learning, and focusing.

Diabetes can affect many parts of the body, but its impact on the eyes is one of the most serious. High blood sugar levels can damage delicate blood vessels in the retina, increase eye pressure, and even cause swelling in the lens. When left unmanaged, these issues can lead to significant vision loss.

Myopia is becoming increasingly common among children and adults worldwide. While it can’t technically be cured, modern advancements in eye care have made it possible to slow its progression and protect long-term vision. At Ciotti Eye Care, we offer several innovative treatments to help manage myopia and reduce its impact over time.

Let’s face it: contact lenses offer incredible freedom for many people. But sometimes, they just do not cooperate as expected. Dryness, irritation, and blurry vision are common frustrations. It’s completely understandable to feel upset when lenses cause more problems than they solve.

When most people think about an eye exam, they often imagine checking their vision or updating their glasses prescription. But a comprehensive eye exam does much more - it can act as a window into your overall health. At Ciotti Eye Care, we know that your eyes are not only vital for sight but can also provide important clues about your general well-being.

For many people, standard contact lenses offer comfortable and convenient vision correction. However, some eye conditions require a more customized approach. Specialty contact lenses are designed for those with unique vision needs - such as astigmatism, keratoconus, dry eyes, or irregular corneas.

When a child struggles with attention, focus, and behavior in the classroom, it’s natural for parents and teachers to consider ADHD as a possible cause. However, what many people don’t realize is that certain vision problems can mimic ADHD symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis or overlooked underlying issues. At Ciotti Eye Care, we often see children who have been labeled as inattentive or hyperactive, only to discover that undiagnosed visual challenges were at the root of their difficulties.

In today's digital age, children and adults alike are spending more time on screens than ever before. Whether for school, work, or entertainment, extended time on digital devices is becoming a norm. But as convenient as our digital world may be, it also brings a rise in certain vision issues - particularly myopia, or nearsightedness. At Ciotti Eye Care, we are committed to educating our patients about the role screen time plays in myopia development and how modern treatments can help manage its progression.

For many people with high prescriptions, the idea of wearing contact lenses can seem out of reach. You might wonder, “Can soft contact lenses correct my vision effectively?” or “Will they even be comfortable?” The good news is that modern advancements in contact lens technology have expanded options for patients with strong prescriptions.
