Living in San Francisco means being surrounded by innovation, tech culture, and an endless sea of screens. Whether you're working at a startup in SoMa, coding at a coffee shop in the Mission, or just scrolling through your phone on BART, screen time is unavoidable. And with all that screen time comes a common yet frustrating problem—Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also known as digital eye strain.

Choosing the right eyeglasses is about more than just style; it’s about finding frames that fit your face comfortably and complement your unique features. A well-fitted pair of eyeglasses not only enhances your vision but also ensures comfort, functionality, and a polished look. At Eye Carumba Optometry, we believe that every pair of glasses should be tailored to meet your specific needs and preferences.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that can affect many aspects of your health, including your vision. Often referred to as a "silent disease" when it comes to eye health, diabetes can cause serious vision problems without any noticeable symptoms. Regular diabetic eye examinations are essential, allowing optometrists to identify early signs of damage before it impacts your ability to see.

Choosing the right contact lenses is more than just a matter of preference—it’s about comfort, convenience, and what works best for your lifestyle and eye health. With so many options available, from daily disposable lenses to extended wear contacts, it can feel overwhelming to decide which type is right for you. Let’s dive into the key differences between these popular lens options and explore the factors you should consider.

As parents, we all want our children to thrive in school, sports, and social settings. While we often focus on ensuring their physical health and emotional well-being, one critical aspect often gets overlooked: their vision. Clear and healthy vision plays a significant role in a child’s cognitive and emotional development, making regular eye exams essential for their overall success and happiness.

Amblyopia, commonly referred to as "lazy eye," is a condition that affects the vision development of one eye, often leading to reduced vision if left untreated. While it’s one of the most common visual disorders in children, many parents remain unaware of its early signs and potential treatment options.

Strabismus, commonly known as crossed or misaligned eyes, is a condition where the eyes fail to work together properly, leading to one eye turning inward, outward, upward, or downward. While it’s a visible issue, its impact extends beyond appearance, affecting vision development, depth perception, and overall quality of life. Early detection and intervention are critical to preventing long-term complications.

In today’s digital world, many of us spend hours each day staring at screens for work, leisure, and everything in between. While technology has undoubtedly made our lives more convenient, prolonged screen time often leads to a common condition known as digital eye strain.

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive surgery designed to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. For those tired of relying on glasses or contact lenses, LASIK offers a potentially life-changing solution. However, like any medical procedure, it’s important to weigh the benefits and risks to determine if it’s the right choice for you. 

Cataracts are one of the most common eye conditions, particularly affecting those over 60. This progressive clouding of the eye’s natural lens can cause blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, and sensitivity to light. Fortunately, cataract surgery is a highly successful procedure that restores clear vision. At Eye Carumba Optometry, we prioritize your vision care by offering a co-management approach to cataract surgery, ensuring you receive personalized care every step of the way.
