Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting the macula - the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. While there’s no cure for macular degeneration, new research into light-based treatments such as red light therapy and low-level light therapy (LLLT) is showing encouraging results for slowing its progression and improving retinal health.

When your eyes aren’t properly aligned, everyday tasks like reading, driving, or using a computer can quickly become frustrating and even painful. What many people don’t realize is that these issues often stem from how the eyes work together. When the eyes are misaligned, it can lead to a condition known as binocular vision dysfunction (BVD), which can cause double vision, headaches, and difficulty focusing. At Birmingham Vision Care, we offer solutions like prism lenses, which are specially designed to correct alignment issues and help the eyes work more efficiently together.

Maintaining good vision isn’t just about seeing clearly, it’s also about preserving your eye health for years to come. At Birmingham Vision Care, we believe that regular, comprehensive eye exams are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your long-term vision. Many people delay eye exams until they experience noticeable issues, but by that point, it may be too late to prevent certain conditions or preserve optimal sight.
