Don’t treat yourself if you experience a severe eye injury or persistent symptoms suggesting an underlying condition. Pain, light sensitivity, pupil size shifts, shadows, double images, and flashes of light all signal a more serious issue.
Contact lenses can be a solution to vision correction, but they aren’t always suitable for all. There are many conditions of the eye that classify you as hard-to-fit for contact lenses. We explore what they are and how we have the potential solution.
