Needing more light to read or having trouble focusing up close can become more common with age. But blurred vision, glare, difficulty driving at night, reduced side vision or other changes should not automatically be dismissed as “just getting older.”

An eye exam can help identify what is causing the change and whether treatment or an updated prescription may help. Make your appointment today.

Diabetes can affect the small blood vessels in the retina and may lead to diabetic eye disease.

Because early changes may not immediately affect vision, your doctor needs to know whether you have diabetes, how long you have had it and whether there have been recent changes in your health.

Be sure to include diabetes and other medical conditions when updating your health history.

Healthy contact lens habits should be part of every day.

A few important reminders:
✓ Wash and completely dry your hands before touching your lenses
✓ Use fresh disinfecting solution each time
✓ Follow the replacement schedule recommended by your eye doctor
✓ Keep contact lenses and lens cases away from water
✓ Remove your lenses before sleeping unless specifically directed otherwise
✓ Keep a backup pair of glasses available

Experiencing pain, unusual redness, sensitivity to light, discharge or sudden blurry vision? Remove your lenses and contact an eye care professional promptly.

Even an occasional nap in contact lenses can matter.

Sleeping in lenses that are not specifically prescribed for overnight wear increases the risk of a serious eye infection. Tell your doctor about your real-life lens habits, not just your ideal routine, so you can receive practical recommendations that work for you.

Remove your contacts before sleeping unless your eye doctor has specifically instructed otherwise.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, makes distant objects appear blurry. When myopia becomes more severe, it can also increase the risk of certain eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma and cataracts.

Regular eye exams help monitor changes in vision and overall health of the eye over time.

Bring an updated medication list to your eye appointment, including prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins and supplements.

Your family’s eye health can offer important information about your own risk.

Glaucoma and certain other eye conditions can run in families. Sharing what you know, even if the details are limited, can help your eye doctor determine what testing and follow-up care may be appropriate for you.

Before your next appointment, ask your family about their eye health history.

Your eyes need sun protection, too.

Long-term UV exposure can increase the risk of cataracts, eye growths, sunburned eyes and certain types of eye cancer. Protect your vision by wearing sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays whenever you're outdoors.

Ask your eye doctor how to better protect your eyes from the summer sun.

Vision screenings are helpful, but they don't evaluate overall eye health or catch every vision issue. As the school year approaches, a comprehensive eye exam can help ensure children are seeing and learning at their best.

Is your child's back-to-school eye exam on the calendar?

From reading bedtime stories to helping with homework, driving to practices and cheering from the sidelines, parents help their children see the world in so many ways.

Today is National Parents' Day and we're celebrating the parents, grandparents and caregivers who put their families first every day.

One of the best ways to care for the people who depend on you is to take care of yourself, too, including your vision.

Make your eye health a priority. Schedule an eye exam for yourself or a family member today.
