Living with keratoconus can make everyday activities challenging, especially when traditional glasses or contact lenses no longer provide clear, comfortable vision. At Alamo Eye Care in San Antonio, TX, we specialize in scleral lenses for keratoconus, using advanced sMap3D™ mapping technology to create customized lenses designed for better vision, stability, and lasting comfort throughout the day.

For professionals working at Port San Antonio, the Medical Center, and surrounding business hubs, long hours in front of computers can lead to tired, irritated eyes. While these symptoms are often associated with computer vision syndrome, they may also indicate underlying dry eye disease. At Alamo Eye Care in San Antonio, TX, we help patients identify the cause of their discomfort and find appropriate treatment options to improve their visual comfort.

If your eyes feel gritty, irritated, or unusually dry as fall arrives in San Antonio, seasonal allergies may be contributing to your discomfort. Changes in humidity, airborne allergens, and cooler weather can aggravate existing dry eye symptoms. At Alamo Eye Care, we help patients understand why their dry eyes worsen during allergy season and identify treatment options that go beyond temporary relief from eye drops.

Eye trauma or surgery can sometimes change the appearance and function of the iris, the colored part of the eye. These changes may cause increased light sensitivity, visual discomfort, or noticeable differences between the eyes. At Alamo Eye Care, we offer customized prosthetic iris lenses to help patients throughout Central Texas improve visual comfort and restore a more natural eye appearance. With locations in San Antonio and Austin, our team provides specialty contact lens solutions tailored to each patient's needs.

Glaucoma can develop gradually without causing noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Because vision loss from glaucoma cannot usually be reversed, finding the disease early is an important part of protecting long-term eye health. For adults in San Antonio, knowing when to begin glaucoma screenings depends on age, family history, overall health, and other individual risk factors.

If straight lines suddenly appear bent, crooked, or wavy, it is important not to dismiss the change. Distorted central vision can be a sign of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that affects the macula - the part of the retina responsible for detailed, straight-ahead vision.

Living in San Antonio means dealing with intense Texas heat for much of the year. For people with severe dry eye, environmental exposure and time spent in air-conditioned spaces can make already uncomfortable symptoms harder to manage. At Alamo Eye Care, we offer custom scleral lenses as an advanced option for patients who need more consistent hydration, comfort, and visual clarity.

A day at a San Antonio pool or water park can be a refreshing escape from the summer heat. However, swimming while wearing contact lenses can expose your eyes to harmful microorganisms and increase the risk of irritation, corneal injury, and infection.

Age-related macular degeneration affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for clear central vision. Dry AMD often progresses gradually, but it can sometimes develop into wet AMD when abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the retina and begin leaking blood or fluid.

Severe dry eye can affect more than daily comfort. Persistent burning, redness, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and the feeling that something is stuck in the eyes can make reading, driving, working, and wearing contact lenses difficult.
