At Eyecare Kingston, we understand that cataracts can significantly affect your vision. Cataracts are the clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to blurred vision, light sensitivity, and difficulty seeing at night. As the leading cause of vision loss worldwide, cataracts are most common in those over 40. Our experienced optometrists can evaluate the severity of your cataracts and recommend the most suitable treatment options, including referring you for cataract surgery, which involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial one.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss. At Eyecare Kingston, we specialize in early detection and treatment, which is key to preventing vision loss.

As the leading cause of vision loss in individuals over 50, macular degeneration affects the central part of your vision.

We also work closely with you to control blood sugar levels and prevent further damage to your eyes.

We can help prevent more serious complications, such as corneal damage, by providing prompt and tailored care.

Dry eye can cause irritation, redness, and discomfort when your eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly.

If necessary, we'll guide you through the appropriate treatment options to protect your vision.
