Did You Know....?

Flashing lights (photopsias) are common and can be harmless, but a sudden increase in flashes, especially with new floaters or vision loss, can indicate a retinal tear or detachment, and is a serious medical emergency. 

They are often caused by the vitreous gel in the eye pulling on the retina as it changes with age. Other causes include migraine auras, eye trauma, and optic neuritis. You should see an eye doctor immediately if you experience new or persistent flashes, particularly if they are accompanied by other visual changes.

One in six Americans age 65 and older have a vision impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. The risk of eye disease increases with age, yet many older adults neglect to see an ophthalmologist for care. To bring attention to taking care of our eyes as we age, the American Academy of Ophthalmology celebrates Healthy Aging Month to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of vision loss - and steps to help seniors take care of their sight.

Roughly 80% of what a child learns in school is presented visually. Good vision is essential for students of ALL ages to reach their full academic potential.

Vision screenings are great for detecting abnormal visual acuity and/or major vision problems, but they are not a comprehensive eye exam. Comprehensive eye exams not only evaluate visual acuity, but also the complete health of your child’s eyes, including checking for serious eye diseases, early signs of health problems, vision function and more.

Why Children’s Eye Health Deserves Attention
1 in 4 children has an undiagnosed vision problem—and many don’t know how to express what they’re experiencing. Left untreated, these issues can impact academic performance, behavior, social development, and even physical safety.
Common pediatric eye issues include:
• Nearsightedness (myopia)
• Farsightedness (hyperopia)
• Astigmatism
• Amblyopia (lazy eye)
• Strabismus (crossed or misaligned eyes)
• Eye injuries from sports or rough play
Signs Your Child May Have a Vision Problem
Children don’t always realize something is wrong with their vision, so it’s important for parents and caregivers to watch for symptoms like:
• Squinting or covering one eye
• Sitting very close to the TV or holding books too close
• Frequent headaches or eye rubbing
• Poor hand-eye coordination
• Difficulty concentrating or reading
• Avoiding close-up work or outdoor activities

There is an old adage in the eye care industry--Glasses are a necessity, contact lenses are a luxury. What happens if you get an eye infection and you can’t wear your contacts? Why? “Because I’ve never had a problem before.” Well, just because you maybe have never been in a car accident before, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear your seat belt! Even if you don’t want to go “all out” and get the most expensive frames or lenses in your glasses, having a reliable pair of glasses is an absolute must for any contact lens wearer.
