Common Vision Problems in Kids:
Myopia (nearsightedness) – Difficulty seeing faraway objects, like the whiteboard.
Hyperopia (farsightedness) – Trouble focusing on close-up tasks like reading.
Astigmatism – Blurred or distorted vision due to the eye’s shape.
Strabismus (crossed eyes) – Misalignment of the eyes that can affect focus.
Amblyopia (lazy eye) – Reduced vision in one eye that needs early treatment.

Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Exam:
👀 Frequent squinting or covering one eye.
📚 Trouble reading or holding books very close.
🎮 Sitting too close to screens or the TV.

🕶️ Do Blue Light Glasses Really Work? Let’s Break It Down! 🕶️
Blue light glasses are popular, but what do they actually do? Here’s the truth:
✅ They Can Help With:
• Reducing Digital Eye Strain: Anti-reflective coatings can ease discomfort during long screen sessions.
• Improving Screen Comfort: The lenses filter harsh blue light, making screens easier to look at.
• Promoting Better Sleep: Wearing them in the evening might help reduce blue light interference with melatonin.

❌ They Won’t:
• Prevent Eye Strain Completely: Eye strain often comes from how you use screens, not just blue light.
• Protect Against Eye Damage: There’s no strong evidence linking screen blue light to retinal damage or macular degeneration.

🕶️ Blue light glasses can be helpful, but they work best when paired with healthy screen habits! Have questions about eye health? We’re here to help! Give us a call at (250) 828-0252.
