Welcome to Optical Advisor!

Not sure which would be better for you to wear — eyeglasses or contact lenses? Are you considering LASIK or another type of vision-correcting eye surgery?

Perhaps you have a chronic eye disease such as glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration. Maybe you suffer from low vision, which could result from cataracts that have yet to be removed. Or perhaps you are dealing with eye herpes, progressive keratoconus or even just astigmatism?

AllAboutVision.com offers comprehensive, doctor-reviewed articles on all of these topics and more. And you can read up on eye anatomy using an interactive eye diagram.

The site will also help you to identify pink eye symptoms. A free downloadable guide, Pink Eye Facts for Parents and Teachers, provides information about how to stop the spread and recurrence of pink eye. And there's information about the eight causes of eyelid twitching.

You can also learn about cataract surgery and presbyopia-correcting implants such as Crystalens. And if you're older but don't yet have cataracts — because everyone gets them sooner or later — you might benefit from knowing about contact lenses that help dry eyes.

If you're looking for an optometrist, AllAboutVision.com has an Eye Care Practitioner Directory. In addition, you may use the site's LASIK Surgeon Directory:
