Can’t Go Wrong with Disposable Contacts!

One of the healthiest and easiest types of lenses is the daily disposable contact. Yes, that is correct…wear it for one day and then throw it away. No cleaning. No solution costs. No storage hassles. Daily disposable contacts offer the ultimate ease of use and freedom in a contact lens.

Not only are daily disposables great because of their convenience, they are also one of the safest and healthiest ways to wear lenses.

They are the thinnest and lightest contacts available, which also makes them the most comfortable. They are great for patients suffering from dry eyes as well seasonal allergies.

Because there is essentially no buildup on the lenses within one day, allergy sufferers do great in this lens type. In fact, most patients cannot even feel them in their eyes.

Regular Screenings are Key – No Matter Your Age

You could be 10 years old or 100 years old, the importance of maintianing great ocular health will remain the same.

Children usually change RX every 9-12 months as they grow. In additions kids need a professional to monitor changes and health issues because they may not recognize a change.

Patients between 20-40 years old who wear Rx need to be checked annually for RX changes. Not only is this for good health, State law requires contact lens wearers to hava an annual exam due to the fact that contact RX expires every 12 months.

Over 40? You should be just as concerned about your ocular health. Those individules over 40 need to be monitored for Near Vision Changes.

More specifically if you are over 50 annual checks are needed to detect Cataracts, Claucoma, and Macular Degineration.

Vision is Vital to a Student’s Overall Growth and Development!

Vision is a dominant process in the growth, development and daily performance of children. In fact, EIGHTY PERCENT OF WHAT STUDENTS LEARN IS THROUGH VISION.  And yet, 86 percent of all school-age children have not had a complete eye examination – Ever!

The American Optometric Association encourages parents to have their children’s eyes examined three times prior to starting school: at 6 months, 3 years and before starting kindergarten.

These exams monitor eye development and may prevent conditions that may become irreversible in later years, such as amblyopia or ‘lazy eye.’

Dry Eyes – What Can I Do?

Dry eyes are one of the most common ocular complaints experienced throughout the year, especially during the harsh winter season.  Dry eyes can be a result of anything from temperature changes and low humidity to the car heater blowing warm air directly into the eyes.  Contact lenses tend to dry out more this time of year resulting in vision loss, redness and irritation.  Dry eyes can also be the result of dietary changes, vitamin deficiencies and shifting hormone levels.  Although there are many causes of dry eyes, the treatment protocols are all very similar in nature.

The sensation of a ‘dry eye’ results simply when there are not enough tears to cover the ocular surface.  One of the best ways to help prevent dry eyes this winter is to maintain a good layer of tears on the eye.  Massaging the lower eyelids for 3-5 minutes both in the morning and at night will help increase your tear flow.  Another suggestion would be to use a GOOD artificial tear 4 times a day.  Just like lotion for dry skin and lip balm for chapped lips, the eyes can use some extra moisturizing this time of year as well.  For contact lens wearers, there are dry eye specific contacts available as well as cleaning solutions designed specifically for these symptoms.

Style Tip

Glasses can be a great accessory to any outfit or look. One of the most important things to consider is the proper frame shape to accompany your face. People with rounder faces should look at more square and oval frames, and just the opposite holds true for those with longer and square faces. Also, you can choose to match your hair color and skin tone or make a dramatic statement with some color and flash. Another major decision is to go for the ‘invisible’ look with a drill mount and wire temples, or choose to ‘make a statement’ with some extra flash and panache. In any event, it is a fashion call for you to decide on and love. Our well trained fashion consultants are NOT on commission, and are ready to help you select the frame that suits you best.
