“Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

Happy Birthday to the Stars and Stripes! This day commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first national flag.

The stripes represent the original 13 Colonies and the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well; red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice.

Appreciate the colors of this national symbol through polarized lenses. Polarized lenses will enhance colors and reduce glare, allowing you to see the true beauty of the American Flag.

What exactly is a cataract?
A cataract is when the natural lens in our eyes becomes cloudy, causing vision to become blurry, hazy or less colorful. Other symptoms include seeing double or a ghosted image out of the affected eye, being extra light sensitive (especially while night driving), having trouble seeing at night or needing more light to read, seeing bright colors as faded or with a yellow hue, or seeing “halos” around lights.

What causes cataracts?
Aging is the most common cause of cataracts. This is due to normal eye changes that begin to happen after age 40. People over age 60 usually start to have some clouding of their lenses. However, vision problems may not happen until years later. There are other factors that contribute to cataracts, which include genetics, diabetes, smoking, eye injury, and damage from UV rays.

Did you know you can slow down the development of cataracts?
Wearing sunglasses while in sunlight and making sure your regular eyeglasses have UV and blue-light protection is the best way to slow progression. Other options to consider include quitting smoking, making sure your prescription eyewear is up to date and taking care of other health problems such as diabetes and hypertension.

Each day, 2,000 Americans sustain job-related eye injuries that require medical treatment.

Common causes of eye injuries at work include eye strain from digital devices, misuse of tools, harmful radiation, chemical exposure, and flying debris like glass or metal fragments. Wearing ill-fitting or improper safety eyewear, or even worse, no eye protection at all, are the main culprits behind most eye injuries at work.

Luckily, 90% of all work-related eye injuries can be avoided or mitigated by wearing proper safety eyewear. Whether it be safety glasses, goggles, face shields or a welding helmet, be sure it is the proper fit and material to provide you with the most protection.

Did you know you can even get prescription safety eyewear? At your next appointment be sure to ask about the best option for you!

Check out the unique design used by STATE that has counter-weights in the back of the temple to help prevent the dreaded slide!
