Do you squint to read words on a computer screen, even in a well-lit room? Do nearby objects look fuzzy, while distant objects seem clear? After you spend several hours reading or writing, do your eyes feel tired, and does your head throb? If you're experiencing vision troubles, it's time to see an optometrist in Stouffville.

Dr. Khurana graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Science specializing in Kinesiology (the science of human movement). Dr. Khurana has multiple clinical experiences in both New York state and Southern Ontario, including the Bronx-Lebanon Medical Center (Bronx, NY) and Northport Veterans Hospital (Long Island, NY).

The first few years of your child's life are essential for the development of his/her vision. Poor eyesight can affect a child's learning ability. Approximately 25% of school-age children require some form of vision correction. Untreated eye conditions can worsen and even lead to more serious problems like blindness.

As you age, the muscles of your eyes get weaker, which makes it harder to focus on near objects. More light is required to see. It becomes harder to differentiate varying shades of blue and green. A regular eye exam is the best way to protect your eyesight, as many sight-threatening diseases can be cured or slowed if caught early.

In our senior years, it becomes more difficult to see in the dark and we find that glare affects us more. Health issues such as diabetes and blood pressure can lead to vision problems, especially if left untreated. Eating foods rich in antioxidants may help us fight free radicals, which can lead to serious vision problems such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
