Your Childrens Vision Needs: Did you know that 80% of learing in a child's first 12 years comes through the eyes? The Vision Council of America states that one in four children have a vision problem that can interfere with learning. Annual eye exams begining at age 3 can detect any vision needs that can be corrected before any problems begin. Should your child need glasses we recommend a high impact lens made of Polycarbonate material for comfort and safety. Exposure to glare from fluorescent lighting and computer screens can cause undue eyestrain and fatigue. We recommend Crizal Alize Aniti Reflective coating allowing young eyes to see better and more comfortably and protects the lenses with a 2 year unlimited scratch warranty. Transitions offer a 100% UV blockage in addition to giving your child comfort and protection in outdoor sunlight without changing glasses. Ask about the many lens options and the discounts available second pairs at your child's next eye exam.

Can Computers Harm Your Vision: Sixy million people suffer from eye problems due to computer work and that number rises each year. Prolonged computer use can lead to a condition known as Computer Vision Syndrome. If you use a computer regularly, you probably suffer from CVS. Some symptoms include, dry eyes, sore eyes, blurred vision, light sensitivity, headaches, fatique, reduced ability to adjust focus and shoulder & neck pain. Specialized eye exams and special eyeglasses can detect and alleviate many of these symptoms. Ask about special discounted 2nd pair computer glasses at your next exam.
