Nearsightedness doesn’t just affect how kids see today; it can impact their vision long-term.

Myopia control helps slow the progression of nearsightedness while children’s eyes are still growing.

• Myopia often worsens during childhood
• Treatment options may help slow changes
• Early eye exams make a difference

The RVEP crew took some time to step out of the office for a team bonding event. Building a strong culture is very important to us, and we believe making time to connect outside of work helps strengthen relationships, communication, and teamwork. Moments like these allow us to get to know each other better, have some fun, and come back to the office more connected and energized as a team. 🎳
