👁️ Let’s Talk About Myopia Prevention 👓

Myopia (nearsightedness) is on the rise—especially in children. The good news? Early action can slow its progression and protect long-term eye health.

💡 Tips for Preventing or Slowing Myopia:
🟢 Spend more time outdoors (at least 2 hours/day)
🟢 Take regular screen breaks (follow the 20-20-20 rule, where every 20 minutes, you look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds)
🟢 Encourage good lighting when reading or using devices
🟢 Schedule annual comprehensive eye exams
🟢 Utilize lenses that have been proven to slow myopia progression, like Stellest lenses!

Early detection = better outcomes.

📅 Book your child’s eye exam today and take the first step in protecting their vision for life.

What is Retinal Imaging? Let’s break it down 👉

1️⃣ Retinal imaging captures a high-res image of the back of your eye—helping detect early signs of disease and overall health issues.

2️⃣ Your retina is the only place in the body where blood vessels and nerves can be seen non-invasively—making it a window into your overall health.

3️⃣ It can help detect:
✔ Diabetic retinopathy
✔ Macular degeneration
✔ Glaucoma
✔ Hypertension
✔ And much more

4️⃣ It’s quick, easy, and comfortable—no drops or discomfort needed!

5️⃣ Most eye diseases show no early symptoms. Retinal imaging helps us catch problems before vision is affected.

📅 Ask about retinal imaging at your next exam—it’s one of the easiest ways to protect your sight and your health, or learn more at https://youtu.be/k1ROV1owkxM.

💻 Myth Busted: Using computers won’t damage your eyes — but staring too long without breaks can lead to digital eye strain or dry eyes.

👁️ Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
💧 Blink often & use artificial tears to keep your eyes comfortable and hydrated.

Take care of your screen time—your eyes will thank you! 🙌
