Dry eye is one of the most common eye conditions, affecting daily comfort, vision clarity, and overall eye health. Artificial tears are often the first line of treatment, but with so many options on the shelf, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Understanding how artificial tears work - and which type fits your symptoms - can make a significant difference in your relief.

Myopia is becoming increasingly common in children and teenagers. As myopia progresses, it can lead to stronger prescriptions over time and increase the risk of future eye health complications. One effective, non-surgical option for managing myopia progression is Orthokeratology, often called Ortho-K.

Dry eye syndrome can make even the simplest daily tasks uncomfortable. When your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, irritation, burning, and blurred vision can quickly become a normal part of your day. At Nuwave Vision, scleral lenses in Westlake are becoming one of the most effective tools for patients seeking long-term comfort and improved clarity.

For young athletes, clear vision isn’t just about seeing the scoreboard - it’s about precision, timing, and performance. Whether they’re tracking a fast-moving ball, reading the field, or reacting to a teammate’s movement, optimal eyesight plays a vital role in athletic success.

At Nuwave Vision, we know that vision needs evolve over time. Children may struggle with nearsightedness, adults often juggle digital strain and workplace demands, and older adults may face conditions like dry eye or age-related eye diseases.

For many people, glasses or soft contact lenses are enough to correct their vision. But for those with high myopia or other complex refractive errors, traditional options may fall short. That’s where scleral lenses come in - offering sharper vision, improved comfort, and a customized fit.

When was the last time you had a thorough eye exam? Many people assume their vision is fine as long as they can see clearly, but healthy eyes involve much more than sharp sight. Regular eye exams are essential - not just for updating your prescription, but for detecting eye diseases early, often before any symptoms appear. At Nuwave Vision, we believe that proactive eye care is the key to protecting your vision for life.

If your eyes often feel gritty, irritated, or fatigued, you may be dealing with chronic dry eye; a condition that affects millions of people and can significantly impact your quality of life. While artificial tears can provide short-term relief, they don’t treat the underlying cause. At Nuwave Vision, we offer innovative solutions like IPL to help address the root cause of dry eye and bring lasting comfort to our patients.

When it comes to finding the right contact lenses, especially for patients with unique eye conditions or challenges, scleral lenses are often a game-changer. These specialty lenses vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera), offering a smooth optical surface and a fluid reservoir that keeps the eye hydrated. But how do you know if they’re the right solution for your vision needs?

As our world becomes increasingly digital, it’s no surprise that more people are experiencing symptoms of eye fatigue and blurry vision after prolonged screen use. Two conditions that are often linked—but frequently misunderstood—are myopia (nearsightedness) and digital eye strain. Understanding how these conditions intersect can help protect your vision and maintain eye comfort in today’s screen-focused environment.
