Spring is officially here!! With warmer weather comes more outside projects, maintenance, and activates. As a reminder your everyday perception glasses and sunglasses are not safety glasses. Safety glasses are made with your safety in mind.

Safety frames are made with a high impact resistant material with lightweight properties and side shields to protect from outside debris. Safety lenses are made with a pliable material that is not only breathable but shatter proof on impact.

When we think of safety frames we think of certain careers but they are also needed for yard work, house renovations, and extreme sports like mountain biking. A pair of safety frames are much cheaper than a trip to the ER.

Call Sparta Optometry today at 616-877-8811 for all your safety frame needs!

Screen Time Awareness refers to the practice of being mindful of how much time you spend looking at screens and taking steps to protect your eyes from potential strain or damage associated with excessive screen use. Often by utilizing features like blue light filtering lenses on glasses or adjusting screen settings to reduce glare and brightness can be beneficial.

The 20-20-20 rule is a recommendation to break up screen time by looking away from the screen every 20 minutes and focusing on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps prevent eye strain and headaches.

It is very important to be mindful of how much screen time you are getting each day. If you are straining or having visual concerns, please call our office!

Did you know you should have an Eye Exam every 1-2 years ? It is important to have a full ocular health check every so often to keep up on the health of your eyes. Diabetic patients should be seen yearly. Eye exams can detect health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even brain tumors. This is because the eyes provide a clear view of your blood vessels, arteries, and cranial nerve.

Call our office to schedule your exam!!
