Read Dr. Chan's interview about Myopia Management

Myopia in children is a growing concern, especially with so many kids learning virtually during the pandemic. Myopia is a disease where the eye grows too long, with the symptom being blurry distance vision. Studies show that myopia rates in children are increasing as kids spend less time outdoors and more time involved in near work like digital device use.

4/27/23: Dr. Zeng was great! Attentive & thorough! The exam by her & her assistants was extensive. They have modern clean equipment. Their chandelier in the front office area is sparkly. The staff in the front were lovely & very helpful. They made sure I got the most out of my insurance coverage. I chose a brand new glasses 👓 design that just came in from Tom Ford, made in Italy 🇮🇹. Retro contemporary style. I was quite satisfied with my experience at Pacific Rims. I drove there, but I like how it's directly on a MUNI train 🚆 line with a stop right in front of the store. I love West Portal! ❤️

Q&A | Dry Eye with Our Doctors

Q: How do I know if I have Dry Eye?
A: Dry eye syndrome can only be diagnosed by an eye doctor. We take your symptoms into account, including the eyes feeling dry, burning, itchy or irritated. Watery eyes and blurry vision are also common because the tears, which protect the outermost surface of the eye, can be unstable.

Q: What are some of the symptoms of Dry Eye?
A: There are numerous symptoms of dry eye disease, but the most common ones include excess tearing, lack of tearing, burning, redness, foreign body sensation, intermittently blurred vision, and an inability to tolerate contact lenses. If you have any of the above symptoms, and want a professional diagnosis, please make an appointment here.

Q: What is the examination like to determine whether someone is suffering from Dry Eyes?
A: A full dry eye evaluation may include a series of tests depending on initial signs and symptoms, systemic history, medication, and lifestyle. Most of these tests are non-invasive and painless. They can include using special colored dyes placed on the eyelid to assess severity, direct visualization of the oil glands to check for Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) or atrophy, and tear production analysis. The evaluation will be tailored to narrow down the specific cause of Dry Eye Syndrome.
