Good Afternoon
We would like to start up a "Vision Initiative" program and NEED your assistance!!
We would like to dedicate ONE morning of the week to conduct Free Eye Test Consultations to those who cannot afford private healthcare.
We will be able to source and provide ophthalmic lenses at cost price and if a person really CANNOT afford them and they are most definitely needed, we will cover the costs of the lenses needed.
🌈You may wonder ,"How can I help and be part of this?". 🌈
By donating an old or unwanted frame that may be reused for the purposes of cutting new lenses and providing sight to an individual less privileged.
A small and kind act like this can dramatically change a person's quality of life!!
If you personally know of someone that is struggling with their vision, please contact us to book an appointment so that we can arrange an eye examination consultation.
Once we have a wider variety of donated frames, we can start the eye testing!!
Why are we doing this?
We love Optometry and everything optometry.
We are a small, private business and have been blessed to have been successful thus far in this wonderful community.
As any business, we do not operate in a vacuum and would like to give back to the community.
We understand that times are extremely difficult and there are people without spectacles that really need them!!

👨‍🏫《 Recognizing Vision Problems in School-Age Children 》👩‍🏫

"Laughter can deflate almost any problem down to its proper size." - Richelle Goodrich

Refractive errors in children such as Myopia (Short-sightedness) , Hyperopia (Far-sightedness) and Astigmatism can affect their schooling and engaging in other activities such as sport with confidence if left undiagnosed or untreated.

Other ocular problems such as Strabismus (Squints) , Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) and Convergence Insufficiency (Binocular Near Focus issue) may also have an effect.

Spectacles can, in most cases help to compensate for refractive errors and provide clearer vision.
This is important as 80% of all learning is obtained through learning.

Visual therapy may be required for certain cases as well such as squints, lazy eyes and other binocular anomalies.

It is important to note that the EARLIER these visual anomalies are detected and treated the better!!
As children grow older, their neural plasticity changes and their brains will be more "set in their ways".
Younger children can adapt more easily as their brains can create new neural pathways more easily.
This is especially important in Lazy Eye and Squints.

Parents and Teachers can keep an eye out for the following signs that may possibly be because of vision difficulties.
- Short attention span
- Eye turning in or out
- Holding book close to face or sitting close to blackboard
- Avoiding reading and homework, poor spelling
- Covering one eye or tilting head to one side
- Loses place easily while reading, low reading comprehension
- Difficulty remembering or recalling what was read
- Complaints of headaches
- Seeing double
- Squinting or grimacing while reading, poor penmanship
- Poor academic performance
- Reverses letters or words (Reading and/or Writing)
- Frequent errors when copying from the blackboard
- Rubs eyes often , red and/or watery eyes

Are refractive errors the only vision problems in children??

No. Children may have other learning disabilities.

PART 2

《💻 Blue Blocking Lenses📱》

There is however evidence in the literature that certain people, specifically individuals with sleeping disorders such as insomnia, do sleep better at night while using these lenses before bedtime.😴

High energy Blue light exposure has been linked to eye conditions cataracts and Macular Degeneration.
The type of blue light which would cause these conditions are mainly due to Sunlight exposure which is about 100,000.00 times brighter than a computer monitor.
Again, no scientific evidence has been found as of yet to prove that digital device blue light may potentially cause ocular harm such as cataracts and macular degeneration.

What can be done to protect your eyes and relieve CVS symptoms?

As mentioned above, sunlight has a lot more energy to potentially cause damage to our eyes.
Wearing proper UV blocking sunglasses will prevent higher energy visible light from entering your eyes and well as protect the outer eye adnexa (Eg. outer eyelid cancer).
Quit smoking and adhere to a balanced and healthy diet.

Many modern digital devices have settings which can alter and lower their blue light emissions.
Try to avoid using a digital device about two (2) hours before bedtime.
Don't hold your cellphone or digital device too close to your face, hold the device at about a 40cm distance.

To reduce eyestrain due to CVS, it is suggested that frequent breaks from your computer work is important.
The 20-20-20 rule works quite well (Every 20 minutes look at something that's 20 feet away for about 20 seconds).
Have your eyes tested to see if refractive compensation is required and if there are any other systems out of balance such as binocularity and dry eyes.
Consciously blink more frequently and completely.
Use appropriate eye drops and manage dry eyes.

Blue filter lenses may affect you colour perception and contrast sensitivity.
These lenses are thus usually NOT recommended to artists such as painters or photographers.
