October is Home Eye Safety Awareness Month!
Most people do not think about wearing eye protection while cleaning, cooking, doing yard work, or working in the garage. However, half of all eye injuries occur when completing these everyday chores, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). Be sure to take precautions to avoid these injuries and keep your eyes happy and healthy for years to come.

The Right Way to Get Cosmetic Contact Lenses
Did you know that it’s actually illegal in the United States to sell cosmetic contact lenses without a prescription? There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all contact lens. So instead of risking your eyesight with contact lenses you find online or in a novelty shop, here is the correct way to shop for those fun costume lenses:

Go to your eye doctor for an eye exam – they will examine your eyes to ensure that the contact lenses fit properly.

Get a prescription – just like a prescription for vision-correcting contact lenses, your doctor will provide you a prescription for your cosmetic contact lenses. Your prescription will include specific information such as the correct lens measurements for your eyes.

Purchase your contact lenses from a retailer that requires a prescription – since these decorative lenses are medical devices, it’s illegal for businesses to sell them without a prescription. Without a prescription, you risk purchasing contact lenses that don’t fit properly, may not work well, or will damage your eyes.

Follow proper contact lens care – by properly cleaning your contacts, you decrease your chances of irritating your eyes or getting an eye infection.

⃣ Never share your lenses – your contact lenses are fitted just for you. Not only would you risk injuring someone else’s eyes, but it’s also unsanitary. You wouldn’t share your toothbrush, right?

⃣ See your eye doctor immediately if you notice any adverse symptoms – any pain, redness, or discharge from your eyes may be a sign of infection. Remove your contacts and see your eye doctor for help.

Prioritize Your Child’s Eye Health: Limit Screen Time

In today’s digital age, students are spending more time than ever in front of screens. While technology offers numerous benefits, excessive screen time can lead to digital eye strain and may contribute to the development of myopia (nearsightedness).

Focus Eye Health offers valuable insights on how limiting screen time can protect your child's eyesight. Implementing strategies like the 20-20-20 rule—taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away—can help alleviate eye strain. Encouraging outdoor activities and setting screen time limits are also effective measures.

At Premier Vision of Dallas, we’re committed to supporting your family’s eye health. Our team is here to provide comprehensive eye care and guidance on maintaining optimal vision.

Myopia means kids see up close clearly but struggle to see things that are far away, like the whiteboard in class.
Myopia is a progressive disease that increases the risk for retinal detachment, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other serious eye diseases later in life.
The good news: Early detection and comprehensive eye exams allow Treehouse Eyes doctors to slow or even stop its progression.
