Children with ADD are three times more likely to have eye teaming problems which can cause double vision. Optometrists are not surprised. We ve been researching the connection between vision, attention, and learning for many years. Any child diagnosed with ADD should have a complete eye exam by an optometrist who specializes in vision development to determine if poor visual skills are contributing to the child s attention problems. If you know a child who is struggling, please call our office to schedule a developmental vision evaluation.
Summer is a favorite time of year.
As you make your preparations for summer, we d like to remind you to remember your sunglasses. Eyes unprotected against ultraviolet sun rays are much more likely to develop cataracts. The risks for macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of blindness in the elderly, can be greatly reduced by a lifetime habit of wearing a good pair of sunglasses. Our optical department offers a full range of options to ensure your protection. If you spend any time around water, polarized lenses are a great summer choice.
