In order to order your glasses, we will need your prescription information. Your eye doctor should give you a copy of your prescription for free when you ask. If it has been more than a year since your last eye exam, you will want to schedule one prior to ordering your new glasses, in case your prescription has changed.

Improper insertion technique can cause contact lenses to sit unevenly on the eye or pop out. Before you put your lenses in, read all the instructions that come with your contacts, check the lenses’ orientation, and ensure your eyes aren’t too dry. As you place them on the eye, make sure they’re centered.

Rubbing the eyes tends to dislodge or even eject contact lenses. You may find yourself rubbing your eyes due to irritation, allergies, or tiredness. If your contacts keep falling out, avoid rubbing your eyes — instead, use eye drops, gently press instead of rub, or treat underlying irritants. Being more mindful about rubbing your eyes can help your lenses stay put.

While falling behind in school doesn’t necessarily mean your child has vision problems, it may be part of a larger pattern that indicates they need glasses.

Vision problems are common in children; however, not every child — especially young children — may realize that their vision is inhibited.
