Conjunctivitis, often called pink eye or sticky eye, is inflammation of the conjunctiva — the thin membrane covering the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids.
Reading or classroom difficulty can have many causes. Vision problems can make school tasks harder for some children, but they do not explain every reading, attention or learning concern.
High-quality eye care is not defined by one business model, one piece of equipment or one type of lens.
Eye twitching usually means a small, involuntary spasm of an eyelid. The common form, often called eyelid myokymia, is usually harmless and often settles on its own.
An eye test with an optometrist usually includes a discussion about your vision and health, tests to measure how clearly you see, checks for refractive error, and an examination of the eyes. Not every person needs every test.
Single vision lenses contain one prescription power across the lens for one main viewing range. They can be prescribed for distance vision, near tasks such as reading, or an intermediate working distance such as a computer screen.
