Tips from Your Eye Doctor
Advice for young kids and their parents!
Kids can pass vision tests and screenings even with large amounts of refracture error. Dilated eye exams are important to determine total refracture error and need for glasses. Bring yourself and your children in for routine vision checks with a licensed optometrist to make sure nothing is being overlooked.
What every adult should know about their eyes!
Blue light emitted by smart devices and computers can cause eye strain and fatigue. Blue light filters in glasses greatly minimize strain, fatigue and help prevent future eye problems. Even if you don’t wear glasses outside of the office, come by and we’ll get you set up with blue-filtered glasses to prevent your need for prescription eyewear in the future.
Taking care of your eyes as you age!
Incidence of glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration increase as we age. This is why it’s important to have your vision checked regularly to insure the safety of you and others as your eyes age.
