Dry eye is a common and uncomfortable condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. While many people associate dry eye with aging or screen use, environmental factors can also play a significant role in triggering symptoms. At East Vancouver Eye, we believe in helping our patients understand the root causes of their eye discomfort so they can take proactive steps toward relief.
Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens that leads to blurred or distorted vision at all distances. While glasses and traditional contact lenses can often correct mild to moderate astigmatism, individuals with more complex or irregular corneal shapes may struggle to achieve clear, stable vision with these options. That’s where scleral lenses come in.
