✨Myopia Awareness Week is here! 👁️✨

Myopia is an eye condition which causes blurry long-distance vision and is also known as "short-sighted" or "near-sighted". A person with myopia can see clearly up close for reading books 📖 and writing 📝, but words and pictures further away are fuzzy, such as the blackboard 👩🏻‍🏫or television 📺.

Myopia has been shown to start from school age and is on the rise 📈
The global prevalence of childhood myopia is approximately one-third of children and adolescents. The global incidence of myopia is anticipated to exceed 740 million cases by 2050 🌍.

That is why the Aaron Henry Optometry team are supporting Brien Holden Vision Institute to spread awareness of the importance of regular eye exams for early detection and timely management to reduce the likelihood of both myopia onset and progression to protect long-term eye health.

A simple step to start implementing with your family and friends is spending a minimum of 2-3 hours outdoor daily ⛅️. This has been associated with a reduced risk of myopia onset.

As our kids grow, so do their eyes. Together, let us all help look after our kids’ vision and eye health. Our optometrists are always happy to discuss the options available to tailor myopia management to suit your family.

“Start Early, Protect Vision for Life!” ✨

Did you know we tend to blink less frequently when looking at screens? This can lead to dry, irritated eyes. Making a conscious effort to blink regularly and taking short breaks can keep your eyes feeling fresh throughout the day. Give your eyes a break: book your next eye check.

Last week Aaron and Jessica were able to sneak away from the clinic for an evening of learning at a clinical professional development event hosted by Dr Peter Kim x Charlestown Private Hospital | Nexus Hospitals at Ben Ean, Pokolbin 📝🍇
They enjoyed a fantastic night of talks covering ocular surface disease, macula disease and cataract surgery, while also having the opportunity to catch up with familiar faces and meet some new ones.
As always, they had so much fun and forgot to snap some photos – thankfully Grace came to the rescue and shared a few photos from the evening! 📸
A big thank you to Dr Kim from Muswellbrook Eye Surgery/Singleton Eye Surgery and Nexus Hospitals for hosting such an insightful evening 👏🏻
Aaron and Jessica are already looking forward to the next in-person CPD session!

The position of your monitor and the lighting in your room can significantly impact eye comfort. Adjust your screen to reduce reflections and ensure your workspace is well-lit to prevent unnecessary straining. Give your eyes a break: book your next eye check.
