read moreMarketplace Vision is committed to creating an environment where you can feel comfortable addressing all of your eye care needs whether that be needing contact lenses or finding that perfect pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses. We also partner with Kraff Eye Institute in co-managing LASIK and laser vision correction. An optometrist is an eye doctor who has earned the Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree. Optometrists examine eyes for both vision and health problems, and correct refractive errors by prescribing eyeglasses and contact lenses.
What is emmetropia
read moreEmmetropia, or what optometrists refer to as the perfect eye, is an eyeball that can see 20/20 at both distance and near with no assistance from glasses. Light that enters this eye will land perfectly on the retina allowing patients to see clearly at both distance and near. This is the eyeball that we all wish we had but unfortunately not all of us are that lucky. Every eyeball from here on out will be compared to an emmetropic eye because they are "perfect". Myopia, or more commonly known as nearsightedness, is condition in which we can't see that well at distance, but we can see fairly well at near (as long as you don't have a super high prescription).
What is amblyopia or lazy eye
read moreAmblyopia, or more commonly known as lazy eye, is a decrease in vision of the eye(s) without detectable health problem. There are two types of amblyopia: strabismic and refractive. Strabismic amblyopia is when there is a problem in our binocular vision (how well your eyes can work together). When the two eyes are not directed simultaneously to look at an object that a person is looking at, then only one eye will receive information about what it is seeing. The other eye decides to be "lazy" and starts to move in any direction it thinks is comfortable.
