For many people, glasses are the go-to solution for improving vision. They’re easy, accessible, and effective for correcting common refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. However, glasses aren’t always enough - especially for those with more complex or irregular eye conditions. In these cases, advanced contact lenses and personalized fittings from an experienced eye doctor in Reno can make a significant difference.

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape and clarity of your vision. It occurs when the normally round cornea (the front surface of the eye) thins and bulges into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape prevents light from focusing correctly on the retina, resulting in distorted and blurred vision. Understanding how keratoconus develops and progresses over time can help patients recognize symptoms early and explore treatment options that can protect their sight.

Corneal ectasia is a progressive eye condition that weakens and thins the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of your eye. Over time, this thinning causes the cornea to bulge outward, leading to distorted vision. While it can occur naturally, corneal ectasia most often develops as a rare complication after refractive surgeries.

In our increasingly digital world, many people spend hours each day focusing on screens, reading, or completing other up-close visual tasks. While our eyes and brains are capable of incredible things, prolonged near work can lead to uncomfortable symptoms - often tied to a condition known as binocular vision dysfunction (BVD). Neurolens is a breakthrough lens technology designed to help address these symptoms and improve comfort for your eyes and your entire visual system.

Myopia is becoming more common in children than ever before. If your child has trouble seeing the board at school but can see up close just fine, they may have myopia. While it might seem like a simple vision problem that can be fixed with glasses, untreated myopia can lead to more serious eye health issues as your child grows older.

When traditional contact lenses or glasses aren’t enough to provide clear vision or comfort, scleral lenses offer a life-changing alternative for many patients. At Battle Born Eye Care, we specialize in fitting scleral lenses for individuals who have complex vision needs, including those with corneal scars, keratoconus, or eye injuries. These advanced lenses provide a customized and comfortable solution when standard corrective options fall short.

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape and clarity of the cornea. In a healthy eye, the cornea is round and dome-shaped. But in keratoconus, it gradually thins and bulges outward into a cone-like shape, leading to distorted vision, increased light sensitivity, and difficulty seeing clearly, especially at night. But who is at risk for developing this condition?

If you spend a lot of time on digital devices or struggle with chronic headaches and eye discomfort, you might be dealing with eye misalignment. At Battle Born Eye Care, we offer an innovative solution that’s helping many of our patients find lasting relief: Neurolens glasses.

Your eyes do a lot for you—helping you take in the beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains, navigate the Reno streets, and enjoy time with family and friends. But like any other part of your body, they’re vulnerable to disease. Many eye conditions develop gradually, often without noticeable symptoms, making early detection crucial.

When it comes to vision correction, contact lenses offer convenience, comfort, and clear vision without the hassle of glasses. However, not all contact lenses are created equal, and finding the right fit requires more than just picking up a standard prescription. At Battle Born Eye Care, we specialize in advanced contact lens fittings to ensure your lenses not only improve your vision but also provide optimal comfort and eye health.
