October is Home Eye Safety Awareness Month

Each year in the United States, more than 2.5 million eye injuries occur, and 50,000 people permanently lose part or all of their vision, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. A recent report from Prevent Blindness America shows that the annual costs related to eye injuries are more than $1.3 billion.

Because more eye injuries occur in and around the home, Prevent Blindness America has declared October as Home Eye Safety Awareness Month to help educate the public on steps that can be taken to avoid painful and costly injuries.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL EYE HEALTH WEEK:

In Ancient Egypt, the eye was thought to be a white ball filled with fluid. Treatments for eye diseases included the use of hot pokers.

During Roman times, doctors believed poor vision resulted from a cold or wet brain. In Greek times, doctors began to use lenses to see things more closely, but they were made of glass and didn't help people see very well.

The real breakthrough came in 1000 A.D. when a Persian scientist, Ibn Al-Haytham, studied how light enters the eye and how we see things. He detailed his findings in a book titled "Book of Optics."

The earliest-known evidence of glasses was found in Italy and dates back to 1286. At that time, they were believed to be worn only by monks and scholars, but they quickly spread in popularity among the public.

5 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT EYES:

The fastest muscle in your body - A blink typically lasts 100 to 150 milliseconds — in a single second, it's possible to blink five times.

Your eyes are just a camera. - Your eyes function like a camera, capturing light and sending the information to your brain.

Babies' eyes - Newborn babies can see objects about eight to 15 inches away; as they grow, their focus changes.

Blind people can see their dreams. - Blind people can dream as long as they are not born blind.

It's comparable to a camera. - It's equivalent to the image quality you'd get if you combined 24 top-of-the-line D.S.L.R.s into one.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL EYE HEALTH WEEK

Get to know your optometrist:
Whether you're looking for a new one or your current one is doing a great job, it's good to have a positive relationship with your eye-care professional. They will be there for you when you need them — and if you don't need them yet, you want to keep it that way!

See an eye doctor regularly:
Many people only go to the eye doctor when they have trouble seeing things up close or far away — but regular visits are vital for catching the signs of early-stage eye disease. Kids should have their eyes tested by age three, and adults should keep up with routine vision tests every two years. If you already have eye conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration, you may need more frequent visits.

Wear protective eyewear during activities:
Wear protective eyewear during gardening, working with tools, or playing sports. The sun's UV rays can damage the eyes, so wear sunglasses with 100% U.V.A. and U.V.B. protection.

To My Dear Patients:

In May of 2016 I sent out a letter informing you that I would
no longer be seeing patients at Custom Eyes. I explained that
the changes in the profession had caused me to become more
involved in the clinical and administrative operating sides of the
practice.

After the previous letter was sent to you, I still filled in for the
other doctors in the practice when they needed days off, on their
maternity leave, vacations, etc.

This letter is to inform you that I have now officially retired.
It is bittersweet and a little hard for me to accept but I have
had some time to adjust. All of you were so gracious and
understanding about my new role years ago, so this final change
is probably not a surprise to you.

Drs. Aaron Cheng, Ali Genilo and Jeffrey Enevoldsen are very
caring and capable optometrists who will continue to take care of
your vision and eye medical needs. They have each been trained
with the newest eye care technology, which is changing rapidly
and allowing eye care providers to take better care of their
patients every year.

I will still be in the area and will stop by the office occasionally, so
maybe I’ll get to say hello. It has been such an honor taking care
of you and your family.

So Grateful,

Linda Drake, OD

To Our Patients,

Drs. Drake, Enevoldsen, Genilo, Cossette, Luebbe, Pierce, and the CustomEyes team would like to spotlight our optometrist - Dr. Aaron Cheng!

Aaron Cheng, O.D. obtained his Doctor of Optometry from the University of Missouri, St. Louis College of Optometry, in 2023. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from the University of Kansas.

Dr. Cheng has specialized expertise in various areas, including contact lenses, pediatric eye health, myopia management, and ocular disease. His decision to pursue a career in optometry stemmed from witnessing firsthand the transformative effects of quality eyecare on individuals' lives and the significant enhancement it brings to their overall quality of life. Dr. Cheng is fluent in English, Spanish, and Mandarin to further enhance his ability to provide comprehensive care.

When Dr. Cheng is not diligently attending to patients' needs, he finds joy in engaging in outdoor activities, such as running or spending leisure time on the golf course. He is always excited to spend quality time with his beloved Golden Retriever, Rex.
