Here are some helpful tips for taking care of your eyes during the summer months:

Wear Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays by wearing sunglasses that block 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. Look for sunglasses with broad-spectrum protection and a wraparound style to shield your eyes from the sun's rays from different angles.

Use UV-Protective Contact Lenses: If you wear contact lenses, consider using ones with built-in UV protection. These lenses can provide an extra defense against the sun's rays. However, remember that they are not substitutes for sunglasses, so wear both for optimal eye protection.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and keep your eyes moisturized. Dehydration can contribute to dry eyes and discomfort, especially in hot and dry summer conditions.

Stay in the Shade: When the sun is at its strongest, usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., try to stay in the shade as much as possible. This helps reduce exposure to direct sunlight and minimizes the strain on your eyes.

Happy 4th of July! Wishing you a day filled with BBQ's, fireworks, and great times!

July is National Dry Eye Awareness Month, and during the month, we recognize eye health's essential role in overall health. According to the National Eye Institute, dry eye is more common in people 50 and older. Nearly 5 million Americans who are 50 or older experience severe dry eye symptoms, and about 20 million have less severe symptoms. The condition is twice as prevalent among women as it is among men.

With proper care, dry eye can be managed and treated. But people who experience symptoms should see an eye doctor to rule out an underlying medical condition. In rare cases, dry eye can lead to permanent visual impairment or blindness.

- Eat Well
- Limit screen time
- Get enough sleep
- Spend time outdoors
- Wear Sunglasses
- Use protective eyewear
- Get regular eye exams

Childhood vision problems can make their presence known in less-than-obvious ways. The signs are sometimes more than just seeing your child squint or hearing them talk about blurry vision.

Eyesight imperfections are common among school-age kids, and treatment can be as simple as a pair of prescription glasses. But if vision problems are left undiagnosed or untreated, they can affect a child's eye health, schooling, and confidence in engaging in everyday activities.

This Child Vision Awareness Month in June, make it your mission to ensure no child around you suffers from vision issues.

WHY CHILD VISION AWARENESS MONTH IS IMPORTANT?

It raises awareness regarding eye health:
The month talks about the different vision problems experienced by children, how to spot them, and how these issues can be treated.

It brings vision weakness symptoms to the forefront:
Your child might be suffering from weak vision, and you wouldn't even know. During this month, the signs of vision weaknesses are highlighted.

It talks about the social problems linked to vision issues:
A child who can't see correctly suffers greatly since they cannot understand why their vision is unclear. The month brings to light several social adjustment issues faced by children with weak eyesight.

Myopia may be delayed or prevented by spending less time on devices and more time outdoors, possibly due to increased exposure to sunlight or the need to look into the far distance regularly.
While myopia cannot be completely prevented, when it onsets, it can be managed through the use of specially designed glasses or contacts – and through drug therapies (eye drops).

These management approaches aim to slow the progress of myopia, thus reducing the risk of the eye reaching higher levels of myopia.

05/25/2023

Myopia is an eye condition that results in poor or blurred vision when viewing in the distance. It is also known as near-sightedness because people with myopia can still see things clearly that are close.

In myopic eyes, commonly, the length of the eyeball is longer than it should be, causing images of distant objects to be focused 'in front of ' rather than 'on' the light-sensitive layer of the eye known as the retina.

Current research indicates that both genetics and environmental factors determine whether a child will be myopic. They also play a role in the progression of myopia.

However, while we cannot change their genetics, it is useful to know that environment plays a significant role in myopia and therefore, you can use some simple strategies that will help protect their vision now and into the future.

05/23/2023

This year, Myopia Awareness Week is from May 22 - 26. Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is among the most common ocular disorders worldwide and is a leading cause of visual impairment in children, according to an announcement from BHVI.

Vision Care Can Change Lives
Early treatment is critically important to prevent some common eye diseases from causing permanent vision loss or blindness:

- Cataracts (clouding of the lens), the leading cause of vision loss in the United States
- Diabetic retinopathy (causes damage to blood vessels in the back of the eye) is the leading cause of blindness in American adults
- Glaucoma (a group of diseases that damages the optic nerve)
- Age-related macular degeneration (gradual breakdown of light-sensitive tissue in the eye)
- Of the estimated 93 million US adults at high risk for vision loss, only half visited an eye doctor in the past 12 months. Regular eye care can have a life-changing impact on preserving the vision of millions of people.

05/17/2023

During the season of giving, toy safety is crucial in protecting children and other gift recipients. To help remind all gift-givers to buy wisely, Prevent Blindness America has designated December as Safe Toys and Gifts Month. Parents and friends of children can take steps to facilitate safe gift-giving this season by making sure the toys they buy for young ones are appropriate and safe.

Here are some great things to look out for:

- Avoid presents with sharp edges, points, or spikes.
- Steer clear of toys that could shatter or break into small debris upon impact. This also includes products that a child can pull apart easily.
- Include a helmet or other PPE if buying sports gear.
- Avoid toys with heating elements, ropes, or cords
