In the landscape of eye care, an empathetic ear and an innovative solution go hand in hand when addressing the discomfort of dry eyes. That’s where emerge as a beacon of relief in a sea of eye drops and temporary fixes.
In essence, RF therapy for dry eyes is as modern as it is revolutionary, offering robust results for those who battle dry eyes caused by meibomian gland dysfunction
This procedure involves the gentle application of RF energy to the eyelids, which helps to open clogged meibomian glands, improve oil flow, and ultimately enhance tear film quality. By using heat-generated RF energy, this treatment offers promising results in alleviating dry eye symptoms and improving overall eye health. […]
Unfortunately, there isn’t a surefire way to prevent glaucoma. But don’t let that get you down! There are steps you can take to reduce your risk and uncover this condition early. With regular eye exams as your first line of defense, your optometrist can help spot symptoms before you even notice anything’s amiss. […]
The meibomian gland in your eye produces oils for your tears. But sometimes these glands can become blocked and can’t do their job anymore. This is often due to age, hormonal changes, diet, environment, or poor hygiene around your eyes. […]
The current understanding is that light sensitivity from dry eye disease can be caused by inflammation of the trigeminal nerve near the cornea or an irregular eye surface from a lack of tears that causes light to scatter when entering your eyes. […]
But in between eye exams, it’s essential to pay attention to any new symptom development. For example, early signs and symptoms of macular degeneration include blurry vision, trouble seeing in dim lights, and faded-looking colors. […]
What’s causing your blurry vision and headaches? You might be dealing with an eye condition or a vision problem. Double vision, crossed eyes, or convergence insufficiency can all lead to blurry vision, making your day a lot harder than it should be.

Convergence insufficiency is a common eye condition that can affect your eyes’ ability to work together up close, making it harder to focus and see clearly. For young children, this condition can be easily confused with ADHD, which can affect focus and behavior—leading to struggles in school. While confusion between these conditions is normal, convergence […]
If you’ve ever felt a gritty, burning, or sandy sensation between your eyelid and the surface of your eye, you may have experienced dry eye syndrome.

What do you want for Christmas? Too soon a question? Not for Aeric, he already knows he wants BOOKS! Thank you, Dr. Annette Astuto, for your referral that allowed us to help Aeric succeed.
“Before COVID, Aeric disliked school but could not explain why. WHen I homeschooled him, we discovered many issues & really, deeply struggled with learning. We sought help in many ways & landed at Heartland Eye Consultants. Here we found real answers, a solid game plan, and caring/dedicated support. Dr. Will made a good connection with Aeric right away. Lauren was patient and supportive. The road was long & there were struggles with staying on track, but the benefits were… amazing.
Aeric went from hating to even try to read, to asking for books for Christmas! He finally understood why he had such vision issues and was able to see clearer, better, and experience the world more fully. I won’t forget the day he said “I can see the leaves, not just green blur” & “there’s a pattern – its texture” as he looked around. And the day he got another set of glasses & could see depth better – he was astounded & could barely explain, but it was so profound for him. Realizing what he’d missed… and that he was not “different” or “broken” or “dumb”… Learning how to make his eyes listen to him better & all the homework changed him. He likes school now. He likes to read. He is able to play more video games now that he can read better.
I am so proud of his progress… and so very thankful we found Heartland Eye Consultants. Our lives were blessed & grew. Thank you so so much!”

He got his Scleral Contact Lenses! Have you been told you can never wear contact lenses? James found out that is not always true, and he has a great story to tell you about his journey into scleral contact lenses.
“I no longer have to wear very thick glasses. I had always been told that I could not have contacts because I have astigmatism. Recently, I was told that since my astigmatism was so severe, that no one would be able to give the proper prescription for a lens for my left eye.
I was referred to Heartland Eye Consultants because they might be able to help. Dr. Holly Ternus was not only able to fit me with contact lenses that were comfortable, but I was able to see 20/20 in both eyes, even the left eye that had previously had a cornea transplant. My vision is the best it has ever been.
I would recommend this doctor and clinic to everyone with astigmatism or who has been told they cannot wear contacts.”

“Initially, my husband and I were very skeptical and hesitant to start this “Vision Therapy” that my son’s optometrist had recommended. We continued to think that he would “grow out” of this so called condition that was causing him to cross his eyes. We finally took a leap of faith and went to his consultation appt. From the moment we first arrived, my son was treated like a VIP! The positivity and welcoming personality already set us at ease. Once we started to visit with Dr. Will, he knew how to “sell” his program by talking sports. This made Rowan motivated to do well. Our therapist, Kari, made out son feel good, keep a positive attitude and engage in it with full effort. Looking back, we are onl regretful for not having started the journey sooner. It was a significant financial commitment for us, however. With hardwork, investing our time and effort made every penny well worth it. My sons headaches, reading skills, and sports have all improved significantly and for that we/I am eternally grateful.” – Sally
