We all know how it goes, once the school year starts, life gets fast. 🏃‍♂️💨 Between soccer practices, homework, and music lessons, your calendar fills up in a flash!
Before the chaos kicks in, let's cross one important thing off your checklist: your child's eyes. Comprehensive eye exams are a must-have this school year, and every year!
If you’re unsure whether or not your child needs to be checked, here are some guidelines about how frequently you should be getting exams: Before entering school (ages 0-5) children should have their eyes checked at 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5. Then, before entering the first grade another exam should be completed! After that you should have a good idea on what their eye health looks like. Consult with your optometrist about how often they should be coming back, but a good rule of thumb is to continue check ups every 1-2 years.
For you parents, if you’re under 40, you should also be getting your eyes checked every 2 years! And for those above 40, every 1-2 years is recommended!
Measure early. Measure often.
Call today or book online to schedule an exam. 🗓️

Finding out your child has myopia (nearsightedness) can feel a bit overwhelming. But here’s the good news: you have so many options to take preventative and proactive steps!!🧬👀
Slowing the progression of myopia starts with understanding your options. Lenses are a great non-invasive option to get that head start! And, choosing a pair is easier than you might think. MiSight lenses are a great option as they are soft, daily disposable contact lenses specifically created for children aged 8 to 12. They are FDA approved and have shown to reduce the progression of childhood myopia.
Another great lens option is Ortho-K lenses. These lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, allowing clear vision during the day without needing glasses or contacts. But, if lenses are not the route that works, thankfully there is another option. Low-dose atropine eye drops are a well-researched method for slowing myopia progression.These drops are easy to use, and only need to be applied once daily. They can make routines easier too, as there is no need to worry about a lens falling out or forgetting to put them in each day.
The very first step though? Finding out exactly where your kids’ vision stands with a comprehensive eye exam. With the back-to-school season in full swing, it's the perfect time to cross this off your list. 🎒
Let's set them up for a clear, confident school year! Give us a call or book online today to schedule an exam. 🗓️👓

Parents: Has your child had a comprehensive eye exam yet? 👀
While school screenings are helpful baseline tests, they often miss the bigger picture. A full eye exam takes a closer look at your child’s vision, which is important for catching childhood myopia (nearsightedness) early.
But no worries! There are proactive measures you can take to help your child’s vision even after a comprehensive eye exam is done! The 20-20-20 rule is a great way to keep your child’s eyes healthy and prepared for the classroom. The 20-20-20 rule goes like this: every 20 minutes your child spends on an electronic device, they should take a 20 second break to stare at an object that is at least 20 feet away from them.
This helps to relax the eye muscles that are constantly engaged while using digital devices, and restores natural blinking patterns that are often reduced when staring at screens.
Let's make sure they're seeing clearly from the front row to the back of the classroom! Take the first step in your child’s vision health and book a comprehensive eye exam today! 🗓️

A school or pediatrician vision screening is a great baseline, but it doesn't always tell the whole story. 🎒👀
Many parents wait for the results of a school or pediatrician’s vision screening to come back before booking an appointment. But, these quick tests can miss critical shifts in your child's sight, especially when it comes to myopia (nearsightedness).
Myopia can develop within your child's first year of life and often progresses in childhood throughout adolescence. Progression of myopia can lead to greater dependence on thick lenses or specialty contacts, increases the risk of retinal detachment, myopic maculopathy, glaucoma, and other severe eye conditions. Early exams are key to understanding your options.
As you go into the new school year, we want to help you stay ahead of the curve. A comprehensive eye exam gives a complete, detailed picture of your child’s eye health.
Measure early. Measure often.
Give your family the best start to the school year and schedule their comprehensive eye exam today! ✨

🎒 School is officially back in session! Now is the perfect time to ensure your child’s vision is ready for the classroom!

We encourage families to “measure early and measure often” when it comes to childhood myopia (nearsightedness). Myopia affects 1 in 3 children worldwide, and those who have myopia struggle to see objects at a distance, making it hard to read the board, follow presentations, or recognize visual cues from teachers.

If your child hasn’t had a comprehensive eye exam recently, now is a great time to check in on their vision and get the full picture of their eye health. 👀

Don’t wait, schedule your child’s comprehensive eye exam today! 👓
