Doctor Mui and the salesperson in the store are so nice~ my whole family making our glasses here~ I have pretty high prescription but they can make it super thin and light~ highly recommended ~

I walked into this place a month ago to get a new pair of glasses. My insurance is a little special so many places weren't able to help me(or their attitude just sucks) The sale in this place was so friendly and they were able to walk me through my insurance and picked the perfect pair of glasses. The doctor was so nice and explained my prescription to me. I'm planning to get contacts and I think this place will be on the top of my list.

Q&A with Our Dr. Tony Mui

How do I know if I have Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye can cause quite a few symptoms, anything from the eyes actually feeling dry to the eyes watering often, or having a burning, itchy, or irritated feeling. One of the most common symptoms is the eyes feeling gritty or like something is in your eye. Most people will often experience blurred vision since the tears, which comprise the outermost surface of the eye, are unstable.

Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

Dry eye is multifactorial, and each person’s dry eye is unique to them. To help prevent dry eye, make sure to consume 8 to 10 glasses of water per day to avoid dehydration. Some nutritional supplements, such as fish oil and flaxseed oil, can contribute to a more stable tear layer.

Remember to blink regularly and take breaks often when on a computer, cell phone or when watching television. During times of the year when there is less humidity, a humidifier might be helpful to provide more moisture in the air.

Am I A Candidate For Ortho-K?

Jul 01, 2024

Orthokeratology, commonly called ortho-k, is a method used to correct myopia (nearsightedness) by wearing rigid gas permeable contact lenses overnight, so that no vision correction is needed during daytime hours. Gas permeable (GP) lenses specialized for ortho-k are inserted at bedtime and worn as you sleep. Throughout the night, the...
