March is blue light awareness month!
How many hours a day do you spend staring at a screen? An hour? Three hours? More? This might be a reason your eyes feel tired or strained at the end of the day. Many digital devices emit blue light, and blue light exposure may contribute to tired eyes. Call our office and find out how you can defend your eyes.

How Do I Avoid Digital Eye Strain?

Consider the following three ways to help reduce excessive blue light exposure and combat the onset of digital eye strain symptoms.

1) Ask the Experts – At your next annual eye exam, talk to your eye doctor about your lifestyle and ask about the best options for combating digital eye strain. Even if you don’t wear corrective lenses, some blue light coatings are available for non-prescription eyewear.

2) Unplug Before Bed – Power down your devices before heading to bed. You may also want to consider lowering the brightness of your screen or enabling blue light filters such as night mode to help reduce the glare from your devices.

3) Give Your Eyes a Break – Whenever you find yourself spending time looking at a digital device, be sure to take frequent breaks. Get up, stretch, and give your eyes a rest.

Defend Your Eyes

Your eye doctor can help ensure your eyes are protected—no matter your lifestyle. At your next eye appointment, be sure to discuss your lifestyle, including how much time you spend looking at screens and digital devices. They can help find the right solution for you.

What is Digital Eye Strain?

How many hours a day do you spend staring at a screen? An hour? Three to four hours? More?

Today, 80% of Americans spend more than two hours each day on a digital device—and 67% use two or more devices at the same time! And why wouldn’t they? Today’s world runs on digital. Mobile devices and computers deliver countless benefits to help us stay informed and connected. However, they can also serve up a less beneficial side effect: digital eye strain.

Many digital devices and computer monitors emit blue light. While blue light exposure by itself isn’t necessarily harmful, excessive blue light exposure may contribute to digital eye strain. This can lead to symptoms such as headaches, tired eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and dry eyes.

Follow along this month for tips and tricks to avoid eye strain!

February is American Heart Month!
Your eyes aren’t just windows to the soul—they can also offer a glimpse into your heart health. That’s because your eyes and heart are connected through the body’s circulatory system. The tiny blood vessels in your retina are especially sensitive to changes in blood flow and pressure.

Conditions like high blood pressure can cause these vessels to narrow or leak, while cholesterol buildup may appear as blockages in the eye’s blood supply. These subtle changes often show up during a routine eye exam—sometimes long before symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath occur.

Optometrists use advanced tools like retinal imaging and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to examine these vessels in detail. By keeping up with annual eye exams, you’re not just protecting your vision—you’re also giving your doctor a chance to spot potential cardiovascular risks early, when they’re easier to manage.

We will resume normal business hours starting tomorrow. Stay safe out there! ❄️⛄️

We will ask at your exam! Some eye diseases are genetic, so it's good know if you have a family history of any illnesses or problems.

February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness Month!
Early detection for the onset of all types of age-related macular degeneration is key to preserving vision for as long as possible. For Dry AMD, an early diagnosis means opportunities to reduce risk, delay onset, or slow progression of vision loss through lifestyle changes and supplements, according to the American Macular Degeneration Foundation.

We are currently scheduling in to the end of the year so be sure to schedule soon!
