New season. New team. The right eye protection.

Regular glasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses are not substitutes for sport-specific protective eyewear. The right protection depends on the activity and may include polycarbonate sports goggles or a face guard.
Before practices and games accelerate, ask an eye care professional what protection is appropriate for your child.

Schedule your child's eye exam today and talk with your eye care provider about the best sports eyewear for their favorite activities at www.ascendvision.com.

Are street signs, classroom boards, or faces across the room looking less sharp?

A small prescription change can make a noticeable difference in the way you move through the day. Blurry distance vision can also be a reason to check in with your eye care provider instead of simply adapting.

Do not keep squinting and hoping it improves. Schedule a comprehensive eye exam and get a clearer answer.

Squinting at the board. Sitting very close to a screen. Losing a place while reading. Headaches after homework.

These habits can have different causes, but they are worth discussing with an eye care provider. Children may not realize that their vision is different because the way they see feels normal to them.
Give your child a clearer start to the school year. Reserve a back-to-school eye exam at www.ascendvision.com.

Seeing clearly does not always mean there is nothing to check.

Some eye diseases can develop without early warning signs. A comprehensive eye exam gives your provider an opportunity to evaluate your vision, examine your eye health, and recommend a follow-up schedule based on your needs.
National Eye Exam Month is your reminder to move this task off the to-do list.

The calendar may be moving toward fall, but August sun is still summer sun.
Choose sunglasses labeled for 99% to 100% UVA and UVB protection or UV400 protection. A wide-brimmed hat adds another layer of coverage for long afternoons outdoors.

Good habits help protect your eyes, and regular exams help you stay informed about your eye health.

Before the weekend begins, book your next eye exam at www.ascendvision.com.

What can an image of the back of your eye show your doctor?

Modern diagnostic imaging can give your eye care team a detailed view and create a useful record for comparison over time. It is one of the ways an eye exam can look beyond whether your prescription has changed.

Make National Eye Exam Month the time you establish or update that record. Choose your appointment time at www.ascendvision.com.

Heat outside. Air conditioning inside. More time in front of screens.

August routines can leave eyes feeling dry, gritty, watery, or tired. Short screen breaks and remembering to blink fully may help, but symptoms that keep returning deserve a closer look.

If eye discomfort has become part of your day, schedule an eye exam and discuss possible causes and treatment options with an eye care professional at www.ascendvision.com.

New backpack? Check. School supplies? Check. Eye exam?

Children may not realize that the board looks blurry or that reading takes more effort than it should. They often assume everyone sees the way they do.

August is National Eye Exam Month - and a perfect time to stop saying, "I need to schedule that."
