Eye Disease Management– Belmont, MA

Floaters & Flashes

You may see flashes of lights or streaks caused by the vitreous gel (a fluid that fills the space between your lens and retina) pulling on the retina. These can appear sporadically over the course of several months or weeks and may grow more frequent with age. Because this can be a common sign of serious eye conditions, it’s important to visit our office immediately.

Amblyopia ("Lazy Eye")

Having a lazy eye can be caused by a muscle imbalance or a difference in prescription between the eyes and may result in poor depth perception. After we diagnose the root cause of the issue, we can provide you with glasses, lenses, or other therapies to help ease the strain and minimize the impact that the issue has on your daily life.

Strabismus

Stabismus is an eye disorder that keeps your eyes from properly aligning with each other when you focus on an object. It can be caused by a nerve injury or muscle dysfunction and can be treated with eyeglasses and vision therapy in some cases.

Ocular Allergies

If you have allergies that cause inflammation, irritation, itchy, and dry eyes, then you can benefit from one of our dry eye treatments. We provide prescription artificial tears and other therapies to give you lasting relief through the season.

Computer Vision Syndrome

Computer vision syndrome, also known as digital eye strain, can be any number of vision-related problems caused by looking at a computer screen for too long. With the proper eyeglasses or contact lenses and techniques to help give your eyes a break, you can reduce the prevalence of your symptoms.

Myopia

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common condition that is becoming more prevalent. Researchers project that by 2050, an estimated 50 percent of the population will be myopic. To help control this condition and keep it from getting worse, we offer a variety of therapeutic lenses and treatments.

Hyperopia

Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is a common ocular condition in adults that may cause you to squint to see nearby objects, resulting in headaches and eye strain. With the proper prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses, Dr. Ajoian can make day-to-day tasks like reading and computer work more manageable.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a condition that can cause blurred vision. Astigmatism can occur for various reasons, most commonly because of an irregularly shaped cornea. This causes light to bend, making images appear wavy. It’s common to have astigmatism as well as hyperopia or myopia, and can be treated with eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Presbyopia

Presbyopia is an age-related vision condition that can make it hard to focus on nearby objects. It becomes commonly noticeable between the ages of 45 and can gradually make reading and other activities a strain. Prescription glasses or contacts can provide you with corrected vision.
