Amblyopia
Amblyopia, or lazy eye, is a condition in which the visual acuity in one eye doesn’t fully develop, usually beginning from birth towards early childhood. Once the vision is lost, glasses or contacts cannot correct it. The amount of potential vision loss in the amblyopic eye varies from patient to patient, but at the least, the vision is worse than in the other eye. If undetected and left untreated, the vision in that eye will never fully develop as the …

What Does 20/20 Vision Mean?
We’ve all heard the term ’20/20 vision’ and most of us know that this is considered ‘normal’ vision. But, what does that really mean? We hear this question a lot at Mandel Vision. The simple answer is that 20/20 vision is a standard for the measurement of visual acuity and represents ‘normal’ or average vision. Here’s a little more detail on 20/20 vision: A Snellen eye chart, or projector, quantifies visual acuity which is a measurement of the sharpness of …

Presbyopia: The Need for Reading Glasses
Presbyopia, often confused with farsightedness, is very common. In fact, even if you’ve had perfect vision all your life, at some point typically after age 40, presbyopia will affect you. The good news is that there’s an easy fix. For most patients, over-the-counter reading glasses do the trick. Others may need a special prescription for glasses or contact lenses from an eye doctor. For those who don’t want to be bothered with reading glasses or contact lenses, LASIK or PRK …
