Summer camp, sports, swimming, and outdoor activities can be harder for kids who rely on glasses. Frames can slip, fog, get lost, or feel uncomfortable during active play. Daytime contact lenses may also be difficult for younger children to manage safely during long, busy days. For families in Long Island City, Ortho-K nighttime lenses offer another option for children with myopia who want clearer daytime vision without glasses or daytime contacts.

If your child’s glasses prescription seems to change every year, you may be wondering why their vision is worsening so fast. Nearsightedness, also called myopia, often begins in childhood and can progress as the eyes grow. Summer can make the issue more noticeable because kids may spend more time on tablets, phones, video games, and close-up activities.

When you choose new eyeglasses, the frames do more than hold your lenses. They affect comfort, fit, durability, and how confident you feel wearing them every day. For many patients in Long Island City, the decision often comes down to designer glasses vs. standard frames and whether the added cost is worth it.

For many people, standard soft contact lenses or glasses do not provide the comfort, clarity, or stability they need. Specialty contact lenses are designed for more complex vision needs and can make daily life easier for patients with certain eye conditions. At Dussan Eye Care, we offer specialty contact lenses for patients who need a more customized solution for clear and comfortable vision.

For people with active lifestyles, glasses and contact lenses can feel like one more thing to manage. Whether you enjoy running, going to the gym, cycling, or simply keeping up with a busy schedule, LASIK can offer more freedom in your daily routine.

Myopia is affecting more children than ever before. If your child is having trouble seeing distant objects clearly, their vision may continue to worsen as they grow. At Dussan Eye Care, we focus not only on correcting blurry vision but also on slowing the progression of myopia. One of the most effective, non-surgical treatment options available is orthokeratology, commonly known as Ortho-K.

Specialty contact lenses can be life-changing for patients who need vision correction beyond standard soft lenses. Whether you’ve been fitted with scleral lenses, rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, or hybrid lenses, adjusting to a new lens type can take time and patience. The good news is that with the right approach, most patients adapt successfully and enjoy clearer, more comfortable vision. Here are some helpful tips to make the transition to your new specialty contact lenses as smooth as possible.

If you struggle with ongoing eye irritation, burning, redness, or a gritty sensation that never seems to go away, you’re not alone. Chronic eye discomfort is often caused by underlying conditions like blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) - two of the most common contributors to dry eye disease. At Dussan Eye Care, we offer advanced in-office treatments to provide long-lasting relief by targeting the underlying causes of chronic eye irritation.

If you’ve ever been told you’re not a good candidate for regular contact lenses, EyePrint® Pro lenses may be the solution you’ve been looking for. These custom-designed lenses are made using a detailed impression of your eye, allowing for a truly personalized fit that delivers exceptional comfort and clarity.

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of vision loss among adults, and it develops when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina - the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. While anyone with diabetes can develop this condition, certain risk factors increase the likelihood of experiencing vision complications. Understanding these risks and scheduling regular diabetic eye exams are essential steps toward preserving your sight.
