Learning About Eye Disorders Treated By Optometrists

Hello, my name is Jenn. Welcome to my site about optometrists. When I was a young kid, I had a hard time focusing between near and far objects. I would have blurry vision as I adjusted to the distance. I went to my optometrist, who said my prescription was normal. He decided to dilate my eyes and perform the tests again, which revealed my focusing problem. I have worn bifocals ever since to help my eyes adjust between the distances. My site will cover all of the different eye disorders optometrists treat. Please feel free to visit my site anytime to learn more.
