Boise Vision Care

What if a video game could actually help improve your child’s vision? Normal video games, not so much! But if your child has been diagnosed with certain vision problems, we may prescribe noninvasive vision therapy exercises that use specialized games to retrain how their eyes and brain work together. Visit our website to learn more about our vision therapy services.

What if you could preserve your child’s vision instead of just watching their prescription worsen year after year? It’s now possible with myopia control. Myopia control allows us to slow the progression of nearsightedness throughout adolescence. Visit our website or book your child’s eye exam to learn how myopia control can work for your child.

Sometimes, your eyes are just too sensitive for eye makeup. Rather than fighting through the dry eye discomfort day after day, try these tips:
- Use a lash curler and skip the mascara
- Focus on your brows and lips instead of eye makeup
- If you can't forego your mascara, choose a thickening formula instead of waterproof and apply it to just the tips of your top lashes
We want you to see and feel great. Book an eye exam if your eyes are uncomfortable and we’ll do everything we can to help.

Women are disproportionately more likely to experience the pain and inconveniences of dry eye. Dry eyes can be exacerbated by hormonal changes related to menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Plus, symptoms are often worsened by eye makeup use. But you don't need to just accept the discomfort of dry eyes. Book an eye exam and let us help you find relief.

Are you desperate to take out your contact lenses at the end of the day to relieve your tired, dry eyes? Contact lenses can make dry eyes feel worse, but it doesn't have to be this way. Book a contact lens exam with us and we'll also assess the health of your eyes and make recommendations to address your dry eye symptoms.

Did you know that if you have a progressive prescription your frame shape and size matter? Your lenses need to be deep enough (that's the size from top to bottom) to support your multiple prescriptions without compromising your vision. We take care to help you find frames that you love the look of and that support your vision. Visit us soon to tap into our team’s expertise.

Glaucoma refers to several eye conditions that damage the optic nerve. Glaucoma can lead to vision loss, but excellent diagnostic tools and treatments are available. Visit our website to learn more about how we diagnose and manage eye diseases.

A pair of oversized frames can define your signature look. But did you know that some prescriptions don’t work as well with large frames? If you have a very high prescription paired with large frames, it can lead to thicker lenses and heavier glasses.
Visit us and our expert team will help you find great-fitting glasses that match your look and prescription.

Your contact lens prescription requires precise measurements of your eyes, and it’s not the same as your glasses prescription. If your contacts aren’t giving you clear, comfortable vision every day, it’s time to visit us for a contact lens exam and fitting. Book yours on our website.

How can you not love a pair of aviators? These classic frames have been both cool and practical since they were designed as sunglasses for military pilots in the 1930s.

They’re an obvious choice for sunnies, but we also think they make a super fun second pair of eyeglass frames. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Your dry eyes aren’t just caused by dry air or a long day at work. For many, that gritty eye feeling is due to blocked meibomian glands. These glands provide oil to your tears. We use high-tech imaging to look closely at your meibomian glands to determine if they’re a factor in your dry eyes. By finding the real cause of your dry eyes, we can provide better, customized solutions to your symptoms. Book your dry eye consultation on our website.

How well do your glasses match your favorite outfits? When your whole look works together, that's when you look effortlessly stylish. You deserve glasses that elevate your style. Come in and our team will help you find just the frames for your unique look.

You’ve probably heard that your face shape can help decide what kind of glasses you wear. In fact, your face size is even more important!

If your glasses are too wide or narrow for your face, they not only can look wrong but also slide down your face or feel uncomfortable. We don’t want that to happen. Visit our expert eyewear team soon.

Have you ever wondered about that annoying air puff test we do? (Sorry about that!) It’s called tonometry, and it’s one of the simplest ways to test the pressure inside your eye. High pressure is a sign of glaucoma, and it’s not something you can feel. Because glaucoma can lead to vision loss, it’s crucial we test for it even if your vision seems fine. Visit our website to book your eye exam.

Could TV-watching be making your dry eyes feel worse? It's possible. When we watch TV, use our laptops, or scroll our smartphones, we tend to blink less, leaving our eyes less hydrated. But watching TV isn't the cause of your dry eyes. It's usually due to a problem with your tears. Book your exam and we'll assess the health of your eyes and determine a dry eye treatment plan to relieve your symptoms.

If your eyes sometimes fill with tears, yet they also feel dry and scratchy, you might have dry eyes. While it may sound ironic, dry eyes are caused by a problem with your tears. For some people, that leads to extra tears being produced, but because there’s an issue with those tears, they don’t properly protect the eye from irritation. Book an eye exam and we’ll get to the bottom of your dry eyes.

Is it the long hours of video calls making your eyes feel so dry and irritated or is something going on within your eyes? For many people, the answer is both! Dry eye disease is caused by a problem with your tears, but we also tend to blink less when looking at a screen, leading to drier eyes. Visit our website to book an eye exam and we'll tackle your dry eye symptoms.

Diabetes dramatically raises the risk of eye diseases. Controlling your blood sugar plays a huge role in protecting you against vision loss when you have diabetes. Regular eye exams—at least annually, but sometimes more often—are essential and can detect the earliest signs of vision damage. Visit our website to book a diabetic eye exam.

When you use your contact lenses for days or weeks longer than they were designed, you risk uncomfortable eyes, poor vision, and even scratched corneas! In a contact lens exam, we will assess the health of your eyes as well as check your prescription to get to the clearest, most comfortable vision possible. Book your exam on our website.

One of our favorite trends right now is metal frames, especially in gold tones. They're classy and subtle, but with no shortage of style. If you’ve been sticking with acetate frames for the past few years (we'll always love them!), maybe it’s time to see yourself in something fresh? Come on in and we’ll hook you up with some great options to try.

We aim to create a holistic picture of your visual health during every eye exam. One way we do this is through visual field testing.

In our quest to get you the best possible vision and comfort from your contact lenses, we may use corneal topography to create a detailed map of your cornea.

Carrots get a lot of credit for being great for eye nutrition (they’re a good source of vitamin A), but leafy greens are even more powerful! Kale, spinach, and collards are packed with antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect your central vision. Along with a healthy diet, regular eye exams are key to protecting your sight. Book yours on our website.

Are your eyes irritated, tired, or blurry? It could be because of dry eye disease.

Visit our website to book your dry eye consultation.

If your eyelids are red, crusty, and irritated, and if you notice a dandruff-like material at the base of your eyelids, you might have an eye condition called Demodex blepharitis. This is caused by the overgrowth of demodex mites. One way to relieve the discomfort and the signs of this condition is with eyelid cleansers. If you're concerned about the look or feel of your eyes, book an eye exam with us through our website.

Why are some people nearsighted? In a regular eye, light enters the eye and is focused on the retina. But in a nearsighted (myopic) eye, light focuses in front of the retina. There’s no cure for nearsightedness, but it can be corrected with glasses or contacts. An eye exam can easily detect nearsightedness. Book your eye exam on our website.

If you’ve ever sat down in front of one of our pre-test machines and wondered why you’re putting your face up close and personal with a bullseye, you’ve experienced corneal topography! Visit our website to learn more.
