Blepharospasm? What is it?

When it happens, your eyelid, usually the upper one, blinks, and you can’t make it stop. Sometimes it affects both eyes. The lid moves every few seconds for a minute or two.

Doctors think it can be linked to:
👓Fatigue
👓Stress
👓Caffeine

Twitches are painless, harmless, and usually go away on their own. But if the spasms are strong enough they can cause your eyelids to completely shut and then reopen.

Learning is largely visual for children. If your child cannot see presentations or things written on the board at the front of the classroom, their learning could be severely hampered.

Your toddler may have an extensive vocabulary, but they won’t be able to detect or express to you that their vision isn’t as sharp as it should be.

Fortunately, as eye care professionals, we can determine whether a child sees properly with a series of specially-designed tests (such as choosing between different images and having them follow a small toy or light and observing how their eyes move). We can also check for neurological problems based on how their pupils respond to objects and light.

In the end, getting into the routine of scheduling yearly comprehensive eye exams is an important habit to establish early on. As a parent, doing so will bring you the peace of mind that your child is seeing well before entering school!

What if 1 and 2 look the same?

A common concern for patients, who don't want their prescription to be off. However when your optometrist is switching between lenses "the refraction" they are just fine tuning your input and the goal is to get two choices that look very similar.

So bo honest, if 1 and 2 look the same, tell them. That's what they want to know!

Questions That We Get Often.

“What does 20/20 vision mean?”
“20/20” is a fraction that describes visual acuity, or sharpness of vision, measured at a distance of 20 feet. Having 20/20 vision means you can see the same level of detail at 20 feet as the average person with healthy vision. The bigger the bottom number is, the worse the person’s visual acuity is.

“How often do I need to visit the optometrist?”
Every patient is unique, but in general, if you don’t need glasses or contacts, we encourage you to get an eye exam every other year. If you require vision correction or are over 60, we recommend coming in on a yearly basis. Vision correction isn’t the only reason regular eye exams are important; they’re also important for eye health.

“What are those weird clear blobs floating around in my vision?”
If you’ve ever noticed odd shapes like see-through caterpillars or cobwebs floating in the air, these are called floaters. As we age, protein fibers in our eyes start clumping together, making them less transparent. They can cast a shadow on the retina, which is how we notice them. Sometimes they’re distracting, but a few floaters here and there is nothing to worry about. If you suddenly see a lot more of them, that’s when it’s time to get to the eye doctor.

Playing sports is fun!

However, eye protection is very important.

A recent study found that about 30,000 people in the U.S. went to an emergency department with a sports-related eye injury, a substantially higher estimate than previously reported.

Simply wearing protective eyewear can prevent about 90 percent of eye injuries. Follow these tips to save your vision:

✔️Wear the right eye protection
✔️Put your helmet on
✔️Throw out old gear
✔️Glasses won’t cut it
