Hours of studying often mean hours in front of a screen. If your eyes feel dry, tired, or unfocused by the end of the day, your digital habits may be playing a role.

Looking at screens for long periods reduces how often we blink, which can lead to eye fatigue and discomfort. Taking regular breaks, adjusting screen brightness, and following the 20-20-20 rule can help keep your eyes feeling more comfortable while you study.

Small changes can improve both comfort and focus. Save this post for your next study session, and let us know your favorite way to reduce screen fatigue.

Happy Featured Frame Friday! This week we are shining a spotlight on the Marin frame by Blackfin.

Blackfin is a woman-owned company who got their start in Agordo, Italy where they are still based today. In fact, every Blackfin frame is made entirely in-house in Italy where they are punched from pure titanium sheets. Their frames are hypoallergenic, ultra-lightweight, and flexible yet durable.

The Marin frame is featured here in the stunning color orchid pink/damascus burgundy. Stop by for a try-on today!

Back-to-school shopping usually includes backpacks, notebooks, and new shoes. But one of the most important school supplies isn't something you can carry.

Clear vision plays a huge role in learning. Kids who struggle to see the board, read comfortably, or stay focused may actually be dealing with an undetected vision problem. A comprehensive eye exam helps catch changes early and gives students the confidence they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

Before the school year gets busy, schedule an eye exam and help your child start the year seeing their very best. If you're a parent, what's one thing your family is checking off before school starts?

Summer isn't over yet, and your eyes are still working hard. Between sunshine, air conditioning, long days outside, and extra screen time, late summer can leave your eyes feeling tired, dry, and irritated without you even realizing it.

A few simple habits can make a big difference. Wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection, stay hydrated, take breaks from your screens, and don't ignore changes in your vision. Healthy eyes aren't built overnight. They're protected through small, consistent choices every day.

What's one eye care habit you've been meaning to start? Tell us below, then schedule your next eye exam to keep your vision healthy for every season ahead.

Happy Featured Frame Friday! Check out this Wodso-1 frame by Morel.

Morel holds the title of oldest family-owned eye wear design company. The brand was founded by Jules Morel in 1880 in the heart of the Upper Jura mountains in France, where their headquarters is still located 3 generations later!

The Wodso-1 features a panto-shaped stainless steel front and temples made from real wood! Stop by for a try-on today or join us at our upcoming Fall Frame Show to view these frames and a wide variety of others.

If you are squinting more, getting headaches, or feeling tired after reading, your eyes might be working too hard. Vision changes can be gradual, so many people adapt without realizing it.

Do not push through discomfort. Save this as your reminder to schedule a comprehensive exam.

Summer screens sneak up fast, and kids often push through eye strain without saying a word. Watch for squinting, close screen distance, and cranky reading or homework moments.

Build a simple habit: outdoor distance breaks during the day and a screen break every 20 minutes. Save this and share it with another parent.

Happy Featured Frame Friday! This week we are shining a spotlight on the Drexel frame by Erkers.

Erkers was founded in Saint Louis, MO in 1879 where they are still headquartered today. They’ve been family-owned for 5 generations, and each of their collections has a symbol located on the temple end relating to the history of the brand.

The Drexel frame is made from surgical stainless steel with handcrafted acetate temple tips. This style is a take on iconic aviators for a bold yet timeless look.

Stop by for a try-on today!

Bright sun, reflective roads, and late sunsets can make driving glare feel brutal. Clean your windshield inside and out, keep lenses spotless, and consider anti-reflective options if halos are common.

If night or glare driving is getting harder, it may be time for an updated prescription. Comment GLARE if you want our best quick fixes.
