Treating Eye Conditions at New Jersey Eyes
Understanding Refractive Errors
Most vision problems are caused by a refractive error, which means light isn't focusing correctly inside the eye. These are incredibly common, and they’re typically easy to correct with glasses or contact lenses. We regularly help patients manage:
-
Hyperopia (farsightedness)—trouble seeing things up close
-
Astigmatism—a curvature issue that causes blurred or distorted vision
-
Presbyopia—age-related focus loss that usually starts around age 40
If you’re squinting more, getting frequent headaches, or finding yourself holding your phone farther away, it might be time for an updated prescription.
Managing Myopia in Clifton Children
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is one of the most common vision conditions in children, and it’s becoming more frequent at younger ages. While glasses or contact lenses can correct blurry distance vision, untreated myopia tends to worsen over time, potentially increasing a child’s risk of eye disease later in life.
We offer early myopia management using Essilor® Stellest™ lenses—designed eyeglass lenses that help slow the progression of nearsightedness in growing eyes.
If your child’s prescription keeps increasing year after year, myopia management could make a big difference. Ask our team if Stellest™ lenses are a good fit for your child.
Other Common Eye Conditions
Not every vision problem is about glasses. Many patients come in with red, itchy, or tired eyes, and often, it’s something we can easily treat or manage. Some of the most common concerns we address include:
-
Eye allergies: Itchy, watery, or swollen eyes caused by pollen, pets, or dust.
-
Digital eye strain: Burning, dryness, or blurred vision from extended screen use.
-
Conjunctivitis (pink eye): Infections or inflammation that can be viral, bacterial, or allergic.
-
Blepharitis: Inflammation of the eyelids that causes crusting, redness, or irritation.
-
Floaters & flashes: Often harmless, but we’ll assess if anything looks unusual.
Experiencing Dry, Irritated Eyes?
If your eyes constantly feel gritty, tired, or watery, it could be more than just screen time or allergies; it might be dry eye disease, a common but often overlooked condition.
At New Jersey Eyes, we offer targeted treatment options for dry eye based on your symptoms, lifestyle, and the underlying cause.
