November is American Diabetes Month. So, what does diabetes have to do with your eyes? High blood sugar can damage the blood vessels in the retina and lead to diabetic eye disease. Regular comprehensive eye exams can help detect changes early.

Is glittery eye makeup safe for kids on Halloween? Hmmm. Glitter can easily get into the eye and cause significant irritation. Be cautious with products around the eyes, and remind your little Fairycore or Elphaba not to rub their magical eyes after makeup is applied.

Myth: Only vision-correcting contacts need a prescription.
Busted: In the U.S., decorative contact lenses also require a prescription. Even if they just change your eye color, they still sit directly on your eyeball. Costume lenses can cause eye damage that results in infection.

Your child’s Halloween mask may complete her costume, but can she see clearly while wearing it? Masks that limit peripheral vision can make it harder to see curbs, cars, steps and other trick-or-treaters after dark. Stay safe this holiday!

Should my teen buy Halloween contacts at a costume shop? No, absolutely not. Even decorative contact lenses require a prescription in the U.S. Poorly made or improperly fitted lenses can cause abrasions, infections or other serious eye complications that may damage their vision.

Myopia management has come a long way. We now have specialized eyeglass lenses that do more than simply correct blurry vision; they influence how light enters the eye as a way to slow excessive eye growth. If your child has myopia, it might be an option to explore.

Can playing outside help slow childhood myopia? Happily: Yes! Spending more time outdoors may reduce the risk of developing myopia or help slow its progression if already diagnosed. Encourage your child to put down the screen and play outside!

Myopia-control glasses do more than correct blurry distance vision. The specialized lens provides an optical signal intended to slow the eye’s elongation and reduce myopia progression in children. And research shows they work!

10/14/2026

Myth: If myopia runs in the family, there's nothing you can do. It’s just genetics.
Busted: Family history matters, but so do age of onset, screen habits, and time spent outside. Regular eye exams help us monitor changes so we can discuss options to slow myopia progression.

10/13/2026

For years, a stronger prescription was the standard response when a child's myopia worsened. Today, we have evidence-based approaches designed to slow myopia progression, including specialized glasses, contact lenses, ortho-k and low-dose atropine.
