Family Vision Care Center: Stephen Chase, OD, FCOVD

STRUGGLE NO MORE! (Success Story) There are just not enough words to even say enough about how Vision therapy has worked for my 8yr old son. Before the daily struggle for homework was hours and meltdowns. Reading was not even an option. After all the therapy we now have a child begging to read chapter books. Spelling tests almost 100% and just all around a much happier and loving child. Thank You Dr. Chase and Ms. Castillo for all your work ...with Gavin. He always looked forward to coming here and never complained. Blessings, The Dominguez Family Patient: Gavin

Dry eye can cause several disruptive symptoms, such as burning, scratching, or irritated eyes, blurred vision, and excess watering. The good news is that treatment options are available to restore the normal amount of tears in the eyes,... so if you suspect you have dry eye, talk to your eye doctor about the next line of action to find relief! #dryeyes #visioncare #eyedoctor #optometrist #torranceCA

Why Is My Eye Twitching? (http://ow.ly/dp1E30ow9DM) Eye twitching most commonly happens as a result of stress. It may be a good indicator that you need to reduce stress in your life and carve out some self-care time, whether that means journaling, spending time with friends, taking a bubble bath, or curling up with a cup of tea. Lack of sleep is another common cause of this issue. Eye strain, caffeine, alcohol, dry eyes, nutritional deficiencies, and allergies are other pot...ential triggers. Typically, eye twitching is harmless and lasts only a few minutes, but it's important to talk to your eye doctor if you experience persistent twitching, as it could signal a more serious neurological condition. #eyetwitching #healthyeyes #eyedoctor #optometrist #torranceCA
