Adult Eye Health Concerns

Adults are also more likely to experience eye fatigue, dry eyes, and presbyopia, a natural age-related decline in near vision.
These issues can substantially impact daily life, making everyday tasks such as reading, driving, and working more challenging.
At Dr. Kimberly Krmpotic's optometry clinic, it is clear that addressing these concerns is vital to maintaining good eye health and vision.
