The days are getting longer, and that is great news for your child's eyes!
Research shows that 2 or more hours outdoors a day may help reduce the risk of myopia in children. Spring is the perfect season to build that habit as a family.
Outdoor time is just one piece of the puzzle though. If your child is already myopic, treatment options are available to help slow progression and protect their long-term vision.

Glasses correct blurry vision, but they don't slow down myopia progression. And as myopia worsens, it can increase the risk of serious eye diseases later in life.
Myopia management treatments are clinically proven to help slow progression and protect your child's long-term vision.

We recently celebrated a couple of milestones: Dr. Blanks managed to survive another year on this planet, and Alena has been part of our family for six years! Dr. Blanks is pictured here with his piece of German chocolate cake, and Alena poses with her card of well-wishes. Not pictured is Alena's cheesecake wheel, which we all enjoyed. Congratulations, Dr. Blanks and Alena!

Spring is here, and with kids spending more time outside, it is a great time to think about their eye health!
The good news? Early action makes a big difference. The sooner myopia is identified, the more options you have to help protect their long-term vision.
Is your child squinting at the board at school or sitting too close to the screen? Spring is the perfect time to find out more.

Grace and Ashley attended the Switch conference hosted by EssilorLuxottica in Orlando last week! This international meeting provided education and workshops on cutting-edge technology in eyewear. Innovations such as Stellest lenses for myopia management, Nuance Audio eyewear for hearing assistance, and RayBan Meta wearable smart glasses were featured - all currently available in our office! Attendees also got a sneak peek at new heads-up displays in helmets for the next generation of astronauts. Grace and Ashley found the conference very informative and can’t wait to help our patients with this new technology!

Did you know that loss of muscle tone in our eyelids is a leading underlying cause of dry eye? Loss of muscle tone occurs naturally with age and can lead to impaired blinking - especially in those that do lots of near work or use devices such as computers or smartphones regularly. Incomplete or impaired blinking causes our tears not to work the way they need to, leading to dry eye and blurred vision. Fortunately, there is a simple, non-invasive in-office treatment for this! To find out more, come to our OptiLIFT Launch Event on Thursday, April 2 from 3 to 6 pm!
