Glasses are a lifestyle change for anyone!

Especially children. If your child won’t wear their glasses, it may be because they don’t realize how much they will help their vision, or perhaps, they think the new eyewear will cause problems at school.

Uncomfortable glasses can make the adjustment much more difficult. Adjusting to symptoms of wearing new glasses can often be discouraging to a child and make them not want to wear them.

Remind your child that wearing glasses will help them see and improve upon their life. It isn’t easy to go through the day unable to see clearly, but the glasses will help them to see and enjoy activities.

Is Eyestrain Causing Your Headaches?

Are you living with headaches and aren't sure about the cause? If so, ask yourself when you last saw your eye doctor.

Eyestrain occurs when the muscles of your eye are required to work harder than usual. This can result in eyes that are tired and achy, and it can cause blurred vision and headaches. Eyestrain that is associated with headaches can be caused by a few different factors, including:

• Astigmatism
• Hyperopia, or farsightedness
• Myopia, or nearsightedness

Regardless of the reason, it is important to set up an optometrist appointment for an evaluation.

Contact Lenses.

Contact lenses are prescribed medical devices, and your optometrist should give you advice on how long you should wear them.

However, about 85% of people admit to wearing their contacts for longer than recommended.

Make sure that you are replacing your contacts frequently in order to avoid irritation and possible infection.

Contact us today if you need further advice on how to better care for your eyes when you wear contacts.

Astigmatism is a common condition in which the surface of the eye, or cornea, is not curved in the normal way, leading to blurred vision.

The abnormal curve of the cornea means that when light enters the eye, it is not correctly focused on the retina, resulting in an unclear image.

Astigmatism may also be caused by an irregularly shaped lens, located behind the cornea.

It can affect children and adults. It is usually congenital, or present at birth, but it can develop after an eye operation or an injury to the eye.

Yes! Contacts are safe to wear when you practice these good hygiene procedures!

Properly wash hands with soap & water for at least 20 seconds and dry hands with unused paper towels.

Dispose daily disposables and disinfect monthly or two week lenses with lens cleaner.

Don’t forget to clean your contact lens case! If you feel ill with a cold or flu-like symptoms, please discontinue use.

Does your child have myopia?

Send him or her outside! By spending time outdoors, children train their eyes to focus on distant objects and relax their eyes. Experts also suggest that moderate exposure to sunlight is good for myopia and general eye health.

Does Your Job Require a Lot of Computer Work???

The screen of a computer is difficult to look at for extended periods of time. Everyone likely knows they need to take a break now and again to rest their eyes.

However, that is not the only thing you can do to help protect your eyes when you need to sit in front of a computer all day long.

✅Set up your computer so you can look downward at the screen. Looking up strains your eyes more and can lead to some really nasty headaches.
✅If your screen gets a lot of glare on it, use an anti-glare screen protector over the screen.
✅Make sure to blink more often, and when necessary, use an approved eye drop to help keep your eyes moist while working.

Blepharospasm? What is it?

When it happens, your eyelid, usually the upper one, blinks, and you can’t make it stop. Sometimes it affects both eyes. The lid moves every few seconds for a minute or two.

Doctors think it can be linked to:
👓Fatigue
👓Stress
👓Caffeine

Twitches are painless, harmless, and usually go away on their own. But if the spasms are strong enough they can cause your eyelids to completely shut and then reopen.

Learning is largely visual for children. If your child cannot see presentations or things written on the board at the front of the classroom, their learning could be severely hampered.

Your toddler may have an extensive vocabulary, but they won’t be able to detect or express to you that their vision isn’t as sharp as it should be.

Fortunately, as eye care professionals, we can determine whether a child sees properly with a series of specially-designed tests (such as choosing between different images and having them follow a small toy or light and observing how their eyes move). We can also check for neurological problems based on how their pupils respond to objects and light.

In the end, getting into the routine of scheduling yearly comprehensive eye exams is an important habit to establish early on. As a parent, doing so will bring you the peace of mind that your child is seeing well before entering school!
