🧠 Your Eyes Are Sensors for Your Overall Health

Even subtle systemic health issues—like early-stage diabetes, hypertension, or glaucoma risk—can first reveal themselves in your eyes. That’s why your annual comprehensive eye exam is more than just a vision check; it’s a wellness tune‑up. Clara Vista’s eye exams include:

• Internal scans for early indicators of diabetic retinopathy or hypertension

• Glaucoma screenings via intraocular pressure and optic nerve assessment

• Detailed health history and ocular evaluation using advanced slit-lamp and dilation procedures
  

Early detection can turn potential vision loss into manageable care—and that’s something we take seriously.

👓 Performance Vision for Sports and Screen Lifestyles

Whether you’re teeing off, running drills, or logging hours at a desk, your visual demands vary—and so should your eyecare plan.

1. Sports Vision Support: For athletes or recreational players, we assess depth perception, reaction times, and eye teaming to optimize performance—because visual timing can be the game‑changer.
   
2. Computer Vision Syndrome Relief: Extended screen use can lead to dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and neck or shoulder tension. We offer practical treatments—such as ergonomic guidance, lens enhancements, and blinking strategies—to ease strain.

🌱 Dry Eye Isn’t Just Age‑Related—Environment Plays a Role in Montgomery

The local climate—heat, occasional pollen, and AC indoors—can accelerate tear evaporation and trigger dry eye symptoms like burning, itchiness, or gritty sensations.

Our dry eye treatment approach is multi-layered:

• Personalized protocol using lubricating drops, lifestyle counseling, and eyelid hygiene routines

• Advanced treatments including thermal pulsation or light-based therapies where appropriate
  

This isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s care tailored to you.
