Eye Condition Treatment
Eye problems can range from mild to severe, with some chronic and others resolving on their own. You should see your eye doctor if your eyes feel uncomfortable or if you notice changes in your vision.
We treat common eye conditions such as:
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common refractive error caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens. Instead of focusing light evenly on the retina, the eye creates blurred or distorted vision at both near and far distances. Symptoms may include eyestrain, headaches, squinting, and difficulty seeing clearly. Astigmatism can often be corrected with prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, or other vision correction options recommended by your eye doctor.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. This chronic condition can cause burning, stinging, redness, fluctuating vision, and a gritty sensation in the eyes. Left untreated, dry eye can affect your comfort and quality of vision. Our doctors provide personalized evaluations and treatment options to help relieve symptoms and support long-term eye health.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a natural age-related change that gradually affects the eye’s ability to focus on close objects. Most people begin noticing symptoms in their 40s, such as needing to hold reading materials farther away or experiencing eyestrain during near tasks. Presbyopia is not a disease, but a normal part of aging that can be effectively managed with reading glasses, multifocal lenses, or other vision correction solutions tailored to your needs.

- Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a chronic condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears to keep the surface lubricated. Our practices in Whitehall and Gahanna offer multiple treatments for dry eye syndrome.
