Did you know wearing contacts longer than prescribed can starve your eyes of oxygen?

That’s why stretching one pair ‘just a few more days’ can leave you with dry, red, uncomfortable eyes — or worse, an infection.

The solution isn’t complicated: make refills easy, so you don’t run out.

That’s exactly why we opened our online shop for patients. Order in a click, keep your eyes healthy!

• If your child spends 2+ hours a day on a screen for schoolwork — they’re a good candidate.

• If they come home with tired eyes, headaches, or complain about blurry vision, blue light protection may help.

• If bedtime is a struggle after screen time: these lenses can support healthier sleep.

Every child’s eyes are unique, which is why we always start with a personalized exam.

From there, we recommend only what will truly help your child. Schedule an exam today.

Imagine your 10-years-old, struggling with headaches every afternoon at school. Your parents think it's allergies or too much sugar.

Turns out, your eyes were simply overworked from constant screen time.

Once you tried blue light lenses, the headaches stopped — and you start enjoying reading again.

Sometimes it’s the little changes that help kids thrive.

Parents often ask us: Do kids really need blue light protection?

Here’s the truth: children’s eyes absorb more blue light than adults’ because their lenses are still developing. That means their eyes are more vulnerable to strain.

Blue light lenses help filter out harsh light
..so your child can focus in class,
read comfortably,
and sleep better at night.

Think of it like sunscreen — not just for today, but for long-term comfort and health.

Back to school means more screen time than ever.

Chromebooks,

iPads,

smartboards…
..our kids’ eyes are working harder than ours did at their age.

Blue light from screens doesn’t just cause tired eyes... it can lead to headaches, blurry vision, and even trouble sleeping.

We’ve been seeing more and more kids in Waitsfield coming in with these symptoms.

The good news?

A simple lens option can make a world of difference! Schedule your eye exam today.

Contacts aren’t the right choice for every child. But when they are, it can make sports — and life — a whole lot easier.

If you’ve been wondering whether your child is ready, we’d love to talk it through with you.

Call the office and let’s figure it out together.

Parents, it’s normal to worry.

"What if they lose a lens?"

"What if they forget to wash their hands?"

That’s why we spend time teaching your child step-by-step care, and why we’ll only recommend contacts if we believe they’re ready.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Come in and let's make a decision about whether your young athlete is ready for contact lenses.

Here in Vermont, fall means muddy soccer fields, crisp football nights, and indoor gyms filling up for volleyball and basketball. 🏐🍁

Contacts can make all the difference for kids who want to focus on the game... not on pushing glasses back up their nose.

If you're not sure if your child is ready... book an appointment. We'll find out together.

Glasses can be tough on the field: fogging, slipping, or breaking during play.

Contacts often give young athletes more freedom, sharper peripheral vision, and a safer experience.

Wondering if your child might be ready?

The sweet spot is usually middle school, but readiness matters more than a number.

Schedule your teen an eye exam today and let's get them ready for game day.

Fall sports season is here in the Valley 🍂⚽🏈🏐

Parents often ask us:

“Is my child old enough for contacts?”

The truth is...

It’s not just about age.

It’s about maturity, hygiene, and how ready your child is to handle the responsibility.

This week, we’ll be answering your biggest questions about kids, sports, and safe contact lens wear!

But no matter what, remember:

Vision safety starts with an eye exam. Schedule yours today.
