Myopia, also known as short-sightedness, is a condition where distant objects appear blurry. This occurs when the eyeball becomes elongated, causing light to focus in front of the retina. Both children and adults can be affected by myopia, often due to excessive screen time. There are various treatments available, such as Ortho-K and vision therapy, which aim to slow down or reverse the progression of myopia. Vision therapy involves specialized exercises designed to retrain the eyes, while Ortho-K reshapes the cornea overnight to provide clear vision during the day. Additionally, home tests and eye exercises can be helpful in managing and detecting myopia.

Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) is a rare neurological condition marked by a ‘visual snow’ effect, where individuals see pixelated, flickering dots across their visual field. Common symptoms include increased sensitivity to light, night vision difficulties, internal eye-originated visual effects, and persistent image recurrences. VSS often accompanies migraines and balance issues, and its exact cause is linked to brain cortex processing, possibly triggered by concussions or brain injuries. Managing VSS involves using specialized spectacle tints and Neuro Vision Therapy, which combine chromatic filters with other methods to enhance visual comfort. The treatment begins with a thorough Neuro-Developmental vision evaluation to customize the most effective therapy plan.
