Children’s eyes absorb more UV radiation because their lenses are clearer and still developing. Overexposure to UV rays can increase the risk of cataracts and other eye conditions later in life.

Just like sunscreen protects their skin, sunglasses protect their eyes. Starting healthy habits early helps preserve vision for years to come.

Make sunglasses part of your child’s daily routine this summer. Their future eyes will thank you.

👓 Cheap lenses vs. premium lenses — what’s the real difference? Let’s break it down! 👓

Buying cheap lenses is like getting the bargain burger…sure it fills you up, but you might leave wishing for something tastier. They might scratch easier, fog up like crazy, and give you that annoying glare that screams, “I’m not helping you see!”

Premium lenses? That’s the gourmet meal for your eyes. Scratch-resistant, anti-glare, blue light blocking, the whole nine yards. They’re comfy, clear, and basically treat your eyeballs like royalty.

So, do your eyes a favor and skip the bargain burger. After all, you wouldn’t wear socks with holes on purpose, right?

Warmer days are approaching and it's more important than ever to wear your sunglasses. Sunglasses are an important accessory for protecting your eyes from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. When selecting sunglasses, look for ones that block 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. The color or darkness of the lens does not necessarily indicate its UV-blocking ability. Polarized lenses can also be helpful for reducing glare and improving visual clarity in bright sunlight.

Contact lenses don't normally cause eye allergies, but they can sometimes exacerbate symptoms. They can also attract or cling to tiny particles of dust or pollen, which may trigger an allergic response. Avoid wearing them during allergy season to minimize discomfort if you are susceptible to eye allergies. Make sure to schedule your eye exam with Eastern Eye Associates Optometrists this allergy season to keep your eyes feeling fresh and healthy.

Regular eye exams are essential for maintaining good eye health and detecting eye diseases or vision problems early when they are easier to treat. Here are some reasons why it's important to get regular eye exams:
✔️ Detecting Eye Diseases: Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, have no early warning signs. Regular eye exams can detect these diseases early when they are more treatable.
✔️ Managing Chronic Conditions: If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, regular eye exams are essential because these conditions can lead to eye problems that need to be managed to prevent vision loss.
✔️ Preserving Vision: A comprehensive eye exam can detect changes in your vision and ensure that you have the correct prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
✔️ Maintaining Overall Health: Eye exams can detect health problems that may not be related to the eyes, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
