The Link Between Eye Allergies & Itchy Eyes

If your eyes often feel itchy, watery, or irritated - especially during certain seasons - you may be dealing with eye allergies. Also known as allergic conjunctivitis, this common condition occurs when your eyes react to allergens like pollen, pet dander, or dust.


What Causes Red Eyes and Burning?

Have your eyes been feeling irritated, red, or burning lately? While these symptoms are common, persistent redness or discomfort can indicate an underlying eye condition that requires professional attention.


How Do You Treat Light-Sensitive Eyes?

Light sensitivity can make everyday activities uncomfortable and even painful. For many people, this sensitivity is linked to underlying eye conditions, with one of the most common being dry eye disease.


What Are the Benefits of Orthokeratology for Adults?

Orthokeratology (also known as Ortho-K) is often discussed in relation to children and myopia management, but adults in Los Angeles are increasingly discovering the unique benefits of this non-surgical vision correction option. Whether you're tired of glasses fogging up during your morning hike or you want freedom from contact lenses at work, Ortho-K could be the lifestyle upgrade you’ve been searching for.


Burning Eyes: Is It Dry Eye Syndrome or Something Else?

If you’ve ever noticed a burning sensation in your eyes, you know just how distracting and sometimes painful it can be. While it’s easy to blame dry air or screen time, burning eyes can actually be caused by a range of issues, from dry eye syndrome to allergies or even infections.


Is Ortho-K Still an Option for Adults? Aging Eyes and Clear Vision

Orthokeratology has long been recognized as a vision correction solution for children and teens, especially those managing myopia. But what about adults? If you live in Los Angeles and are dealing with nearsightedness, astigmatism, or want an alternative to daytime contacts or LASIK, Ortho-K may still be a viable and appealing option.


Is Envision by InMode the Answer to Your Persistent Dry Eyes?

Living with dry eye isn’t just inconvenient - it can be downright exhausting. If you’ve tried drops, warm compresses, and even prescription medications with little to no relief, you’re not alone. Many patients come to us at Optikos Optometry after months or even years of searching for a real, lasting solution. That’s why we offer a game-changing treatment: Envision by InMode.


How Can Weather and Seasonal Changes Influence Dry Eye?

If your eyes tend to feel dry, irritated, or watery at certain times of the year, the changing weather could be to blame. Shifts in temperature, humidity, and allergen levels throughout the seasons can have a direct impact on your eye health, especially if you already struggle with dry eye. At Optikos Optometry, we offer advanced treatments to help you manage symptoms effectively all year long.


Can Ortho-K Help Correct Astigmatism and Vision Imperfections? How This Treatment Works

Wearing glasses or contact lenses every day isn’t ideal for everyone. Whether you’re an active individual, a student juggling screen time, or someone who simply wants clear vision without daytime eyewear, there’s an alternative that may fit your lifestyle: orthokeratology (Ortho-K) with Paragon CRT lenses. Ortho-K is more than just another vision correction option—it’s a game-changer for people with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and even astigmatism.
