Attending the ESports Business Summit in Las Vegas. This seminar focused on women in the industry. What a huge developing business.

Optometry and eSports

I have been working with individuals sitting in front of monitors for well over thirty years. I have had very good success in dealing with visual symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches and visual fatigue resulting from prolonged close-up viewing of these digital devices.

Optometrist for eSports


I have been working with individuals sitting in front of monitors for well over thirty years. I have had very good success in dealing with visual symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches and visual fatigue resulting from prolonged close-up viewing of these digital devices.
Never have I seen before the visual demands on users of these devices as those participating in esports. There are various ways we can improve the performance of these players, including prescription lenses and appropriate filters for near and vision training, especially for those viewing multiple monitors and having to efficiently aim and focus their eyes, among the monitors.
Another problem with the users of digital devices is dry eye. This stems from the intensity and resulting stress the user encounters while playing. Part of the problem could be dealt with by making sure the player is blinking their eyes and part of the problem could be dealt with artificial tears or prescription eye drops. If the dry eye is constant, the individual should seek professional eye-care.

Depth Perception Training

Depth perception training is very important in improving eyesight for patients who spend a lot of time on the computer. Specifically, if people are involved in Esports and gaming, they need to focus on many parts of the screen and adjust their eyes quickly.

Angle Closure Glaucoma

Is it safe to dilate everyone's eyes? This video explains different cases in which it may not be safe. 

Getting The Prescription Right


It is very important to spend time with patients and get the prescription correct. We never rush through an exam and are very thorough.

Video Gamer Vision


A patient visited our office with concern for his sight. He plays many hours of video and computer games so we outfitted him with proper lenses for his hobby.

Treating Dry Eye




The drop I am referring to is Pazeo by Alcon Pharmaceutical. It is by prescription only. It has worked well for my patients. No drop should be administered unless the patient is evaluated by an eye care professional. This drop is a combination of antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer. The mast cell stabilizer helps reduce the amount of irritants ( contained within the mast cells) caused by the mast cells in the eye being released. They're released when the mast cells break apart. The antihistamine reduces the amount of histamine. Again, this drop is by prescription only and I have found the generic does not work as well. Be aware that this drop does not work on all eye conditions.

Emergency Patient



A new patient came in unable to open her eyes and we helped her out with some drops to help heal her eyes. Rancho Cucamonga Optometric Center 7211 Haven Ave, Ste A Rancho Cucamonga, California 91701 (909) 980-3535 http://www.ranchoeyedoctor.com

I love getting the chance to work with children, it is always a different experience with each one. This child, in particular, had autism and was nonverbal.
