Protecting Your Vision From Age-Related Changes

As we get older, many parts of our body change - and our eyes are no exception. While some vision changes are a normal part of aging, others can signal underlying eye health issues that benefit from early detection and care.


What Your Eye Doctor Can Detect Beyond Vision Problems

When most people think about visiting the eye doctor, they associate it with updating glasses or contact lenses. While correcting blurry vision is important, your eye doctor does far more than check whether you need a stronger prescription.


Maintaining Eyelid Health With NuLids®

Healthy eyelids play an essential role in maintaining overall eye comfort and vision quality. Yet, many people overlook eyelid hygiene until irritation, dryness, or inflammation becomes hard to ignore. At Total Vision Care Optometry, we offer an advanced in-office treatment called NuLids® to help patients achieve cleaner, healthier eyelids and lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.


What Makes a Lens “Premium”? And Why It’s Worth the Investment

Not all lenses are created equal, and understanding what sets premium lenses apart can help you make a smarter, long-term investment in your vision and comfort.


Is IPL Right for Your Dry Eyes? Here’s What You Should Know

Dry eye syndrome is a frustrating and often chronic condition that can affect your daily comfort and quality of life. If you’ve tried over-the-counter eye drops or at-home remedies without much relief, you may be wondering about more advanced treatment options. One advanced solutions we offer is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy.


How Do Sunglasses Protect Against UV Damage to the Eyes?

Most people understand the importance of wearing sunscreen to protect their skin from the sun, but eye protection is often overlooked. Just like your skin, your eyes are vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can lead to a variety of serious eye health issues over time. From cataracts to macular degeneration, prolonged exposure to UV rays can have lasting consequences. Fortunately, wearing high-quality sunglasses is a simple and effective way to shield your eyes and maintain healthy vision for years to come.

Why High-End Glasses and Frames Make All the Difference in Designer Eyewear

When it comes to eyewear, the frame you choose does more than just hold your lenses, it makes a statement about your style, confidence, and attention to detail.
