Eye problems can range from mild to severe; some are chronic, while others may resolve on their own, never to appear again. The articles below will give you a basic understanding of some of these problems and their implications. The cardinal rule is if your eyes don't look good, feel good or see well, you should visit your doctor.

  • Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

    Commonly called “lazy eye,” amblyopia can be treated successfully if detected early enough in childhood.

  • Astigmatism

    Often mistakenly called “stigmatism,” this common vision problem can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.

  • Blepharitis

    Red, swollen eyelids and crusty debris at the base of your eyelashes are signs you may have blepharitis.

  • Cataracts

    Cataracts are a common cause of vision loss after age 55. Surgical correction is safe and effective, and offers several new options for better vision.

  • CMV Retinitis

    AIDS or other diseases that affect your immune system can increase your risk of serious eye problems from cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.

  • Cornea Transplant

    People with serious vision problems from an eye injury or disease affecting the front surface of the eye can often regain vision with a cornea transplant.

  • Diabetic Retinopathy

    If undetected or uncontrolled with medication, diabetes can cause serious vision loss, even blindness.

  • Dry Eye Syndrome

    Dry eye syndrome is a common condition, especially in women over age 40. Many treatment options are available.

  • Eye Allergies

    Are you bothered by red, itchy eyes? You may have allergies.

  • Floaters and Spots

    “Floaters” are usually normal and harmless. But if you notice a sudden increase in floaters or floaters accompanied by flashes of light, see your eye doctor immediately.

  • Glaucoma

    Glaucoma is a variety of disorders in the eye that can lead to loss of vision and even blindness. The most common type of glaucoma is caused by a gradual and painless rise of pressure inside the eye.

  • Hyperopia

    Also called farsightedness, hyperopia is a common vision problem that can cause headaches, eyestrain and trouble reading.

  • Keratoconus

    This eye disease causes the cornea to grow thinner and bulge forward in an irregular cone-shape. Treatment options range from gas permeable contact lenses to a cornea transplant.

  • Macular Degeneration

    This age-related problem is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in Americans age 65 and older.

  • Myopia

    Also called nearsightedness, myopia is a very common vision problem, affecting up to one-third of the U.S. population.

  • Ocular Hypertension

  • Pingueculae

    Pingueculae and pterygia are funny-looking words for growths on the surface of your eye.

  • Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)

    This acute and contagious form of conjunctivitis is particularly common among preschoolers and school-age children.

  • Presbyopia

    Are you over age 40 and starting to hold reading material at arm’s length to see it clearly? You probably have presbyopia.

Testimonials:

" I recently went into 1 on 1 Eyecare and had a great experience. The exam was quick, yet complete. Dr. Bababekov also took the time to help me pick a pair of glasses that looked good on me! He recommended a new brand of contacts that have been much more comfortable for me as well. I was very happy with the experience overall. I highly recommend it!"

....Diana Sinclair
 
" Whether in need of an eye exam, new frames, or the trimonthly contact order, 1 on 1 Eyecare is my go to destination. The selection is vast, the environment is extremely friendly, and the prices are generously affordable. I appreciate the simplicity in ordering contacts and the prompt service - a quick call in and the contacts are ready for pick up within two days. It goes without saying that both of my current frames are from 1 on 1 Eyecare, Dr. Bababekov even helped pick them out! I would highly recommend 1 on 1 Eyecare, and once you stop by you will to (you'll probably even write your own review!)."

"I went to see Dr. Babakekov for an eye exam and I was thoroughly impressed. He did not rush the exam like most other optometrist "I've been to. He took the time to listen to my concerns with my vision and even gave me some different contact lenses to try. He is a true professional and I recommend everyone to go see him!"

"Awesome service! Dr. B got me back on the road and driving in no time!"
....Pete Viglas

 

"It had been several years since I had an eye exam and my vision was getting progressively worse. I genuinely fear optometrists like others fear dentists. Upon a recommendation of a friend I went to Dr. Bababekov for an exam. Let me tell you, just entering his practice put me at ease. It is clean, modern and warm. Far from what I remember as a child. The exam was perfect and I knew I was dealing with a true professional. He made his diagnosis, and together he helped me pick out some frames which I love. I was so pleased with the service that I actually took a few of his business cards and when the topic of eye care has come up in conversation with my friends and colleagues I did not hesitate to hand them his contact information. I thoroughly recommend Dr. Bababekov to anyone in need of eye care."

"I had an appointment scheduled with Dr.B. However, a few days before that, I woke up and knew something was very wrong with my eye. Not only was it red and swollen, but it was also very sensitive to light. I called Dr.B to tell him my symptoms and he told me that he could squeeze me into his schedule immediately. When I got there, he examined by eyes thoroughly and discovered that I had keratitis--and infection of the cornea that could lead to blindness if not diagnosed and treated immediately! He knew exactly what medication to prescribe me, and hours later, my eye improved dramatically. However, that is only the beginning!
I also told Dr.B that my contact lenses had been irritating me lately. He quickly determined that it was due to a stigmatism in each of my eyes. We tried many different types of contacts that failed, but Dr.B refused to give up until, many appointments later, he found a type that I could tolerate. And, for days that I didn't feel like putting in contacts, he helped me pick out awesome glasses!
In conclusion, Dr.B is thorough, caring, knowledgeable....and funny :-)

"Dr. B has a warm atmosphere at his office, and has a great sense of humor while giving a thourough eye exam...just to make sure you don't have another boring one. He's professional but with a personable touch; Dr. B cares for your concerns and explains everything. He told me that my prescription was a bit off, and also gave me way better contacts (with astigmatic correction) than the ones I had before. When it was time to pick out a nice pair of shades, I was happy to see that he's got a fantastic selection for those who have narrower faces like myself. I know I'll be coming back!"
....Rachel Iskhakova
 
"I had my heart set on a pair of Gucci glasses, I looked everywhere for them and nobody had the frame I wanted. I didn't want to wait and place an order. A friend suggested to stop by Dr. B. I did, not only did he have the frames I wanted, he also gave me a thorough eye examination. Just recently, I needed a reorder of contact lenses, Dr B. was able to mail them to me as I couldnt get down to Roslindale. This is the type of service I miss these days. You won't get the same type of quality of care from a lenscrafters that's for sure! Thanks Dr. B!"
....Davina Gohil
 
"If I could give 100 stars I would!! I have worn glasses for 30 yrs and have been to many Optometrists/ Eyeglass shops...and no where have I ever been able to get such EYE opening experience, not only does Dr. Bababekov offer a wide range of eyeglasses that are affordable but that are also in style for all men, women, young & old, but Dr. Bababekov's knowledge is remarkable! After my eye exam, he found I needed a much lower prescription and since then all the dizziness that was unexplainable to me, are now gone. Thank you Dr. Bababekov for your excellent care, and for my fabulous Gucci's."
....Georgia Viglas Beliveau
 
"I went to Dr. Babebekov's office for an eye exam a couple of weeks ago. The office is easy to locate and
the hours are very convenient. Not only was the eye exam a great experience but I was also given a lesson
of how to correctly wear my contact lenses. Dr. B spent a lot of time patiently watching as I struggled to place
them in my eyes for the first time and try to remove them. I was also not allowed to leave the office until
I had done this great feat twice. I highly recommend Dr. B because he is efficient, concise, and really takes
the time to explain every step to you."
....Lina Vasershtein
 
"Took all my 3 boys there this summer for an eye exam, and was really surprised at the care and time Dr. Bababekov spent on them individually, very thorough, and had patience with each one. I also love my Maui Jim's, so much that I ended up buying one for my boyfriend for his birthday, now I'm ready for my eye exam, and guess where it will be..:) Thank you Dr. B for the quality care you provide, and the excellent brands you offer. I highly recommend 1 on 1 Eyecare to anyone who has not been there yet, try it, and you will see. "
....Olga Abramova
 
"Why trek to Newbury Street when you can pick up some amazing rose colored Maui Jim's and have Dr. B streamline them to your face for optimal high definition performance vision?"
....Kenneth M. Kansky
 
"I went to Dr.B for an eye exam, new glasses as well as contact lenses. He was very professional, listened to all my concerns and gave a complete eye exam. He has a large selection of eye glass frames, sunglasses and contact lenses. He was very helpful and gave me options more than I ever had at other eye doctor's offices. I was not rushed and it was a very relaxing environment to choose my glasses and discuss my eye care needs. I would highly recommend Dr.B!!"
....Alison Butler
 
"My dad found this place called 1 on 1 Eyecare in Roslindale...he checked it out from the outside then came home and told me about it. I personally never heard of this place before so I became curious about it and so my dad and I decided to check out the place from the inside. I have to say that the place is small BUUUUT it has sooooo many diferent styles of eyeglasses you can try on and choose from! Plus Dr. B was so helpful to both us (since we ended up with 3 favorite frames and couldn't make up our minds) by helping pick the best fit for my dad (he didn't try to sell them to us, he tried to help us out by picking out the best ones and that's what makes Dr. B special) . The glasses were ready within a week and it didn't end there....I brought my 2 younger sisters over the following week to have their eye exams done by Dr.B too! I'm up next for an eye exam myself. So hopefully you get my point ( if not then go check it out for yourself) when I say:" It all started with my dad and now the whole family is a fan of 1 on 1 Eyecare because it's exactly what we were looking for.
