Wishing you a safe, spooky, and crystal-clear Halloween! šŸ‘»āœØ

Whether you’re rocking glasses, contacts, or costume frames tonight — keep those eyes protected and enjoy the treats. šŸŽƒšŸ¬

šŸ•·ļø Friendly reminder:
Avoid non-prescription costume contact lenses — they may look fun, but if not properly fitted or checked, they can cause:
- Scratches to the cornea
- Eye infections
- Reduced oxygen to the eyes

The only scares tonight should be from haunted houses, not eye emergencies.

Stay safe, have fun, and see the magic in every moment.
Happy Halloween from DeSouza Optometry!šŸ‘“šŸ•Æļø

When it comes to myopia (nearsightedness), the most important number isn’t necessarily the glasses prescription — it’s the axial length.

Axial length measures how long the eye is from front to back.ļæ½Tracking this data is especially important in childhood as this is when the eye is growing. As the eye elongates, myopia worsens — and the risk of future eye disease, such as retinal detachment or maculopathy, increases.

At DeSouza Optometry, we don’t just correct vision — we track and protect it.ļæ½Using advanced instrumentation, we measure each child’s axial length throughout the year to monitor eye growth.ļæ½This data allows us to personalize each myopia control plan and confirm that treatments — such as Ortho-K lenses, myopia control glasses, or specialty soft lenses — are effectively slowing down elongation.
By combining consistent measurement with targeted treatment, we can help preserve vision and reduce risk to future eye health problems.

Custom lenses and treatment plans tailored to your individual vision needs and lifestyle.

These custom lenses gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, giving you clear vision the next day without day-time glasses or contacts.

The lenses you choose matter just as much as the frames— maybe even more!
ļæ½Here’s what goes into making your vision crystal clear:

šŸ”¹ Lens Index – Affects how thin and light your lenses are. Higher index = sleeker look, especially for stronger prescriptions.
šŸ”¹ Material – Impacts weight, durability, and clarity. Ideal choice depends on your personal lifestyle.
šŸ”¹ Coatings – Think anti-glare, scratch-resistant, blue light filter, and UV protection. These make your lenses tougher and your eyes more comfortable.
šŸ”¹ Lens Design – Whether it’s single vision, progressives, or computer lenses, the design matches your daily vision needs.

Personalized lens choices mean sharper vision, better comfort, and glasses that work for you—not the other way around. You’ve got options—let’s find the right ones together!

Myopia (nearsightedness) is more than just blurry distance vision—it’s a progressive condition that can lead to serious, lifelong eye health risks if not properly managed.

Why Controlling Myopia Is So Important:
* It reduces the risk of serious eye diseases like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration later in life.
* It helps prevent rapid prescription changes, especially during childhood growth years
* It improves day-to-day functioning, allowing kids to see clearly, learn better, and stay active.
* It protects long-term eye health by slowing the elongation of the eyeball that causes complications.
* Early intervention leads to better outcomes—the sooner we start, the more we can slow progression.

Myopia Control Options at DeSouza Optometry:
* Myopia Control Glasses – Advanced lenses that help slow eye growth.
* Ortho-K (Overnight Lenses) – Reshape the cornea while your child sleeps.
* MiSightĀ® 1 Day Contacts – Soft daily lenses clinically proven to slow myopia.
* Low-Dose Atropine Drops – Safe, nightly drops to reduce progression.
