Back-to-school sports season is here! Is your child’s vision protected?

Every year, nearly 40,0000 children and adults experience sports-related eye injuries.

The good news? Approximately 90% of these injuries can be prevented with proper protective eyewear, including polycarbonate lenses designed for sports.

Help keep your athlete’s eyes safe this season by talking with your doctor of optometry about the right protective eyewear.

Blurry vision isn’t always “just getting older”.👵👴

Difficulty reading, increased glare, trouble driving at night, or other vision changes shouldn't be ignored.

Many people assume these changes are simply part of getting older, but they can also be signs of eye conditions that benefit from early detection.

If you’ve noticed your vision has changed recently, now is a great time to schedule an eye exam.

Could a vision problem be affecting your child’s learning?

According to Prevent Blindness, vision problems affect one in 20 preschoolers and one in four school-age children. Because many vision issues begin early, children may not realize they aren’t seeing clearly.

A comprehensive eye exam can help identify vision problems before they begin affecting learning, confidence, and everyday activities.

Staring at screens all day? Your eyes can tell.💻

If your eyes feel tired after a day at your computer, you’re not alone! Dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and eye fatigue are common signs of digital eye strain.

Try the 20-20-20 rule:
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Save this tip for your next workday, and if symptoms continue, schedule a comprehensive eye exam.

Did you know children’s eyes need protection from the sun, too?

August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month, making it the perfect time to think beyond sunscreen.

Because children’s eyes don’t filter UV rays as effectively as adults’, they’re more vulnerable to sun damage. When choosing sunglasses, look for impact-resistant lenses and frames that fit comfortably so they’ll actually wear them.

Protecting healthy vision starts early.

The preschool years are a time for developing the visual abilities that a child will need in school and throughout life.

By stacking building blocks, rolling a ball or coloring, they are developing the eye-hand-body coordination, fine motor skills and visual perceptual abilities necessary to learn to read and write.

This is also the time when parents should be alert for the presence of vision problems like crossed eyes or lazy eye, which often develop at this age.
