    As we reach middle age, particularly after age 40, it is common to start to experience difficulty with reading and performing other tasks that require near vision. This is because with age, the lens of our eye becomes increasingly inflexible, making it harder to focus on close objects. This condition is called presbyopia and eventually it happens to some extent, to everyone as they age.

    According to experts, 80% of learning is visual, which means that if your child is having difficulty seeing clearly, his or her learning can be affected.  This also goes for infants who develop and learn about the world around them through their sense of sight.  To ensure that your children have the visual resources they need to grow and develop normally, their eyes and vision should be checked by an eye doctor at certain stages of their development.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-2 Presbyopia Diagnosis and Treatment

As we reach middle age, particularly after age 40, it is common to experience difficulty with reading and performing other tasks that require near vision. This is due to the fact that as we age, the lens of our eye becomes increasingly inflexible, thus making it harder to focus on close objects. This condition is called presbyopia and it will happen to everyone to some extent. The first signs of presbyopia are usually noticed when you need to hold reading materials further away. In the past, optometrists would recommend reading glasses. Our optometrists recommend advanced solutions such as specially designed contact lenses that allow you to see near and far without the need for a pair of reading glasses.

Pediatric Eye Care

Did you know that 80% of learning is visual? At Forsight Vision, our eye doctors are focused on ensuring that your child’s vision is at its best so that they can succeed in the classroom.

While we often think of vision in terms of 2020, the truth is that there is much more to vision than just the eye’s ability to see things both at a distance and up close. A child’s ability to read depends on eleven different visual tasks, such as the ability to track across a line, and the ability for both eyes to work together. During a developmental eye exam, Dr. Cohan performs an in-depth eye exam that assesses all the vision skills that affect your child’s ability to succeed in the classroom.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-2 Developmental eye exams

Our optometrist, Dr. Cohan has extensive experience with pediatric eye care, providing developmental eye exams to ensure that your child has the visual skills needed in the classroom. If your child struggles with reading or homework, squints or tilts their head, or is not at grade level in reading, we recommend a developmental eye exam in order to assess if vision is the cause. If our doctor finds a developmental skill that is underdeveloped, Dr. Cohan may recommend a vision therapy program to help improve those skills and give your child the tools for success.

Often times children will fail to keep up with the demands of school, they may even be labeled as having behavioral or learning problems as a result. Dr. Cohan is passionate about kids vision as many times the child is at no fault, rather it is their vision that is holding them back from success.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-2 Nearsightedness/Myopia

One of the most common vision conditions in children is childhood myopia (nearsighted). The early diagnosis and management of myopia in children are critical for two primary reasons. 

  1. Myopia in children continues to progress as the child ages, unmanaged myopia may progress to medium/high myopia which is linked to a dramatic risk of eye disease later in life. Slowing down the progression of myopia is critical to prevent possible irreversible vision loss later in life. 
  2. Traditionally children who are nearsighted are prescribed glasses and sent home until the following year's eye exam. Dr. Cohan points out that this method of treating myopia is not ideal, as during the course of the year your child's vision continues to get worse, which may impact your child's school performance later in the year.

Myopia (nearsightedness) is a condition that develops at a very young age and continues to worsen over time. If detected early, the adequate procedure can be carried out to slow down the progression of myopia. This is extremely important as children with medium or high myopia are at 2200% greater risk of retinal detachment, and severely increased the risk of other vision-threatening eye diseases

We offer various advanced procedures such as Ortho-K, multifocal contacts to help reduce the progression of myopia in children.
