Dry eye disease can be a persistent and frustrating condition, especially when standard treatments like artificial tears or prescription drops don’t provide lasting relief. For patients with more severe or chronic symptoms, autologous serum eye drops offer a more advanced, biologically tailored option.


How Eye Exams Help Track Glaucoma Progression and Tailor Treatment Plans

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. It’s a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, and because it can develop without noticeable symptoms, early detection and ongoing monitoring are key. At Gregor Eye Care, comprehensive eye exams play a crucial role in both diagnosing and managing glaucoma.


How Does Oxervate Help Prevent Corneal Damage in Neurotrophic Keratitis?

When it comes to protecting your eyes, early diagnosis and treatment of serious conditions are key to preserving long-term vision.

Hybrid Contacts vs. Regular Glasses: Which Provides Better Relief for Astigmatism?

If you have astigmatism, you know the struggle of finding the right vision correction. Blurry vision, eye strain, and even headaches can become a daily challenge if your prescription isn’t just right.

Managing Myopia: Lifestyle Changes That Can Help Prevent Progression

Myopia is becoming increasingly common, especially among children and young adults. While genetics play a role in its development, environmental factors and lifestyle choices can also influence its progression. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to slow myopia progression and protect your vision.


Hybrid Contact Lenses for Astigmatism: A Clearer, More Comfortable Solution

Finding the right contact lenses for astigmatism can be challenging. Soft lenses may feel comfortable but often fail to provide stable vision, while rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses offer clarity but can be uncomfortable for some wearers. Hybrid contact lenses offer the best of both worlds—combining the sharp vision of RGP lenses with the comfort of soft lenses. If you’ve struggled to find a reliable vision solution for astigmatism, hybrid lenses may be the answer.

Understanding Different Types of Glaucoma: Open-Angle vs. Angle-Closure

Glaucoma is a complex group of eye conditions that affect the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss if not detected and managed early. Often called the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma can progress without noticeable symptoms, making regular eye exams crucial for early detection. Two primary types of glaucoma—open-angle and angle-closure—differ in their causes, progression, and treatment methods.


How Does Autologous Serum Help Treat Dry Eye?

Dry eye disease is a common condition affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when your eyes fail to produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears is insufficient to keep your eyes properly lubricated. For many, traditional treatments such as artificial tears or prescription eye drops provide relief. However, for those with more severe or chronic cases of dry eye, these solutions may not be enough. Autologous serum eye drops are an innovative and effective treatment designed to bring relief to even the most challenging dry eye cases.


The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Contact Lenses

Contact lenses have become an increasingly popular choice for vision correction, offering a convenient and discreet alternative to traditional eyeglasses. Whether you're nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, contact lenses can provide you with a customized solution to meet your unique visual needs.
