Thinking about holiday gifts for the little ones? The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) just released a doctor-approved holiday gift guide that helps parents choose toys that are FUN and safe for kids’ eyes. It recommends avoiding toys with sharp, protruding, or projectile parts, and instead selecting arts & crafts, outdoor gear, building sets — gifts that encourage creativity, movement, and healthy vision habits. Want to make sure your child’s next gift doesn’t risk their eyesight? Check out the full guide from the AAO: https://bit.ly/49QxdIO 👀✨

Did you know that smoking doesn’t just affect your lungs and heart, but also your eyes? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smokers are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop cataracts and about 2 times more likely to develop age-related macular degeneration (AMD) than non-smokers.

At Cabarrus Eye Center, we treat a range of eye conditions and know how chronic diseases, plus lifestyle habits like smoking, can accelerate damage. Here’s how smoking can impact your eyes:

🚭 Toxins in cigarette smoke damage the retina, lens, and macula — key parts of the eye needed for clear vision.
🚭 Smoking increases the risk of AMD and cataracts and can worsen diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
🚭 Smoking also contributes to chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, which themselves carry risks for vision and eye health.

If you’re thinking of your next eye exam or want to protect your sight, consider this: quitting smoking is one of the most effective steps you can take. Mark the date, Nov 20, and begin the conversation. Sources: CDC and FDA.

Did you know that COPD can affect more than just your lungs—it can also impact your eyesight? During COPD Awareness Month, the team at Cabarrus Eye Center aims to raise awareness about how chronic lung conditions and low oxygen levels can contribute to eye problems, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal damage, over time. Certain COPD medications, such as long-term steroid use, can also increase the risk of cataracts or elevated eye pressure.

Our eye care specialists encourage patients living with COPD to schedule regular eye exams, which can help detect subtle changes early and protect their long-term vision. Clear vision supports overall well-being—and managing COPD helps address your lung health and that of your eyes.
