At Oxford Optometry, we want our patients to understand that these prescriptions are designed differently. Contact lens prescriptions are different from glasses prescriptions. This is because contact […]
Your eyes feel tired, dry, or sore after a long day at the computer, and you’re wondering when the discomfort might go away.

Age-related macular degeneration—or AMD—is a common eye condition that affects your central vision. For those with the “dry” form of AMD, treatment options have often focused on monitoring and support. Until recently, management strategies were largely preventive.

As at-home red light therapy devices become more popular for skincare and wellness, many people are asking the same question: Is red light bad for your eyes?

Regular comprehensive eye exams are a simple and effective way to stay on top of your eye health and vision, but too many people overlook their importance. While regular check-ups are key, the cost can be a concern for some. Eye exams can cost anywhere […]
Prescription eyeglasses are designed to help you see more clearly and comfortably. If you’re still experiencing discomfort or vision issues despite wearing your glasses, there may be other factors at play—such as lens damage, eye strain, or changes in lighting or screen use. If those possibilities have been ruled out, it may be time to […]
Eye exams and contact lenses often go hand-in-hand. This often raises questions about the differences between a comprehensive eye exam and a contact lens exam. A contact lens exam, which typically follows an eye exam, includes measuring parts of your eye and assessing your tear film to help find a suitable type and size of […]
If you have blue eyes, you may feel like you’re sensitive to bright light. You’re not alone—many people with lighter-colored eyes experience issues with light sensitivity.

Sarah is a very caring doctor. She goes above and beyond what one would expect from an exceptional optometrist. When she was unable to get me in to see my ophthalmologist she and her receptionist ensured I got the best care. I had an appointment at the Ivey Eye Institute the next day! Thank you!
Our experience with this office has been absolutely amazing!!
