Between the ages of 0 and 20 our eyes, like the rest of our body, are constantly growing and changing. Clear vision is essential to a person's visual development making routine eye exams key in detecting vision and eye health problems such as refractive errors and Keratoconus.
Those with high astigmatism should be screened for Keratoconus. When detected early Keratoconus can be treated with the use of cross-linking surgery. This procedure is used to strengthen the cornea and prevent the need for a corneal transplant later in life.

During the ages of 20-40, your eyes have stopped growing and vision becomes stable. This is the age most patients with refractive errors such as nearsightedness and astigmatism want to experience freedom from dependency on glasses or contacts. Seeta Eye is the only practice in central New York to offer SMILE flapless LASIK as well as other state-of-the-art laser eye surgeries.
For those without eye issues in childhood, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam every two years, especially if you have a family history of eye-related issues.

During this stage in life, many people begin to notice changes in their vision. The most common eye-related issues that develop in your 40s is Presbyopia or age-related farsightedness. These conditions can be treated with the use of certain eye drops, eyeglasses, contact lenses, and sometimes LASIK.
Note any changes you see day to day and don’t skip your regular eye appointments during this time!

Common age-related vision changes include the need for more light, problems with glare, reduction in tear production leading to dry eyes, and difficulty doing close work like reading. These may be symptoms of underlying diseases such as Cataracts, Glaucoma, and Macular Degeneration that often develop in your 50s. To maintain your eyes health, especially if eye-related issues run in your family you schedule an annual comprehensive eye exam.

Vision loss among people above the age of 60 is a major health concern. Cataracts are a condition that refers to the clouding of the eye's natural lens that causes reduced vision. As cataracts worsen and patients are no longer able to enjoy their daily activities they start to suffer from a decreased quality of life. Here at Seeta Eye we have been providing cataract surgery to patients for over 45 years and have the most up-to-date state-of-the-art technology to help our patients reach their individual vision goals.
