Nowadays, most people prefer to wear contacts instead of glasses. If you are interested in contact lenses, please let your eye doctor know prior to your appointment. During your exam, we will discuss the various contact lenses available and determine the best option based on your individual needs and lifestyle.

There are many different styles, shapes, and materials to choose from when picking out the best frames for your lenses. At Dr. Adam Carcamo, O.D. and Associates, we help you find frames that accommodate your prescription strength and personal style. We offer options in plastic, acetate, stainless steel, and titanium to suit different needs and sensitivities.

Computer Vision refers to eye problems associated with the prolonged use of computers and digital screens. Symptoms include blurry vision, dry eyes, eye strain, headaches, neck or back pain. If symptoms persist, a full evaluation can be performed.

Pediatric Eye Exams

Cataracts cause a clouding of the lens in the eye, making vision appear foggy. They are the most common cause of vision loss in people over 40 and a leading cause of blindness. The lens is primarily made of water and proteins; when these proteins clump together, clouding occurs.

Diabetic eye disease can damage vision and even cause blindness. Regular monitoring and specialized exams are necessary to manage and detect changes early.

Glaucoma results from damage to the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss and blindness. Early detection through proper screening is crucial. Treatment varies by stage and severity to manage and slow progression.

Farsightedness (hyperopia) makes it difficult to see objects up close. Corrective lenses such as glasses or contact lenses are prescribed after a thorough examination to determine the appropriate prescription.

Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory disorder where the cornea thins and steepens, leading to distorted vision and light sensitivity. It is typically diagnosed through routine eye exams, especially in younger patients.

LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis) is a surgery to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness. Co-management includes pre-operative evaluation and post-operative follow-up care.
