We offer a wide variety of eye care services to the Ladera Ranch community. Contact us with any questions about our services.
Routine eye exams are a vital aspect of preventive eye care. Without routine eye exams, vision issues often go undetected since most eye disorders don't have clear symptoms.
Regular eye exams are important for children since their eyes can change significantly in as little as a year as the muscles and tissue develop. Good eyesight is critical for a child’s life and achievements since success in school is closely tied to eye health. School demands intense visual involvement, including reading, writing, using computers, and blackboard/smartboard work.
We offer a wide selection of the most comfortable and healthy contact lenses available including disposable soft contacts, bifocal/multifocal, toric, and colored lenses.

Macular degeneration, commonly referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is the single largest cause of sight loss in the developed world and affects more than 10 million Americans. It usually affects people over the age of 60, but has been known to affect those who are younger. It is a painless condition that usually affects both eyes with the loss being experienced in the central vision. It does not affect the peripheral vision, meaning that it does not cause total blindness.
If you’ve been diagnosed with cataracts, you may wonder if cataract surgery is right around the corner. Not to worry. There are many preventive steps you can take to slow the progression of cataracts and preserve your vision. That doesn’t mean you won’t eventually need surgery, but you can at least delay the need for quite a while.
If you’ve been diagnosed with glaucoma, you’re probably already familiar with the typical options in glaucoma treatment – eye drops, laser treatment or traditional surgery. While these are certainly effective, especially when glaucoma is diagnosed early, researchers have been working hard to offer new glaucoma treatments. Their goal is not only to improve outcomes but also reduce the treatment’s side effects and frequency of use.
Just a few decades ago, computer vision syndrome (CVS) was not known or understood. However, with an increase in the role of computers in our lives, it has become an increasingly common issue. Researchers believe that 50-90% of people who use computers in their daily lives have experienced CVS to some degree.
Myopia, more commonly known as nearsightedness, is a condition where individuals are able to see objects that are close to them but may have difficulty distinguishing things at a distance, such as road signs or leaves on a tree.
You have almost certainly heard of diabetes, which is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the United States with an estimated 100 million adults currently living with diabetes or pre-diabetes. This metabolic disorder occurs when the body is no longer able to regulate its own blood sugar levels and requires intervention to keep them stable.
In the realm of eye care, surgical co-management has emerged as a collaborative approach that aims to provide patients with comprehensive and seamless treatment. This concept involves the joint efforts of optometrists and ophthalmologists, each bringing their unique expertise to the table.
Dry Eye can have a major impact on your quality of life. You may find your eyes get tired faster or you have difficulty reading. Not to mention the discomfort of a burning sensation or blurry vision. Let’s take a look at dry eye treatments – from simple self-care to innovative prescriptions and therapies – to help you see clearly and comfortably
Every patient is different and so are their eyes. This means that there need to be different types of contact lenses to suit each individual. Some patients have corneal abnormalities which mean that conventional lenses won’t sit comfortably on the surface of their eyes, while others suffer from eye conditions that mean normal contact lenses won’t be comfortable or could irritate their eyes.
Many patients come to us every day struggling to get through their daily lives with their current choice of vision correction. Some have eyeglasses that do not sit properly on their face or feel that their peripheral vision is hindered by the frames. While contact users may find the lenses uncomfortable or have them fall out at inconvenient times.

Sports vision is a growing niche in the eyecare industry, helping athletes improve their performance skills through the enhancement of visual skills. While regular eye exams are important for checking the health of your eyes and your visual acuity (how clearly you can see a still object at different distances), sports vision testing is recommended for anyone who takes their athletic performance seriously.
Vision therapy is a treatment plan that is intended to develop and improve a patient’s visual skills and abilities, with the goal of making their day-to-day life easier. You may also hear Vision Therapy referred to as VT. Although most commonly associated with children, whose visual skills are still naturally developing, adults can also benefit from vision therapy.
An eye exam is an essential part of healthcare for both adults and children with special needs. We strongly recommend partnering with a provider who has a deep interest and specialized training in this area.
We offer customized eye exams for patients who require adjustments during the process. Each exam is tailored to the individual’s level of verbal communication and responsiveness, ensuring that it aligns with their specific needs. Our team adapts the exam to provide the most comfortable and effective care for every patient.
Dyslexia affects how the brain processes writing, spelling, and even speaking. It is not associated with low intelligence as many people might mistake it for.
Individuals with dyslexia may struggle with grasping complex ideas, but with time and support, they can typically understand them. However, the process can be frustrating for both the person and those around them as it often requires extra time and patience.
Vision concussions result from a sudden blow or impact on your head, causing damage to the visual area of the brain. The damage can be mild or severe. It can significantly impact your physical, cognitive, and emotional health. It is important to see a sports vision doctor right away when you get a concussion.
Vision exercises and therapy can play a crucial role in your recovery from a concussion. At A+ Vision Optometry, our expert doctors are dedicated to restoring your vision to its pre-concussion state. We’re committed to helping you get back to sports and an active lifestyle as quickly and safely as possible.
Roughly 11% of Americans between ages 11-17 have this condition. ADD or ADHD is a brain-based condition that can affect a person's daily life at home and school. Individuals with ADHD often struggle with focus, controlling their behavior, and may experience hyperactivity. They may find it difficult to follow directions and can become impatient easily. They might express their emotions impulsively and often have an abundance of energy. Many also struggle with forgetfulness and have trouble focusing on one task at a time.
If left untreated, ADHD can lead to low self-esteem, depression, or even self-harming behaviors. However, there are effective steps you can take to manage the condition and minimize its impact. Seeking help early on can help you or a loved one feel more in control and begin to feel like yourself again.
Neuro-optometry is a specialized branch of optometry that focuses on retraining the brain's ability to process visual information. Since the brain and visual system are closely connected, when they work in harmony, they enable us to accurately interpret and navigate the world around us.
Here at A+ Vision Optometry, our treatment plans are customized based on each patient's needs and condition. We can help retrain your brain to process visual information more effectively through a combination of visual strength exercises, custom lenses, and targeted vision skills assessments.
