A trial frame is sometimes used while a person is being fitted for glasses. It allows the patient to experience their future prescription!

Here is some additional info from our break-in this morning at 3:38 AM: single thief, entered the side employee entrance by smashing the glass door with a crow bar, went straight for our Maui Jim sunglasses, carefully cleared out the whole case (45 frames) then left immediately, in-and-out in 60 seconds. Thankfully no vandalism occurred and no patient data was compromised. Alarm sounded and police showed up, but he was long gone. We had the clinic cleaned, boarded up and open in time for our 7:30 AM patients. I am grateful for Safeside Security, the Davis PD, Downtownnorcal, Konditeri, Mermaid Sushi, Vortex Doors, and all our community of friends, neighbors and patients who have expressed love and kindness throughout this long and trying day.

Best Ways to Relieve Tired Eyes

Caring for Your Eyes in Quarantine: Many of us are stuck at home and in front of a screen much more. Our bodies are not meant to sit fixed in one spot all day long, including our eyes. Staying focused on a digital screen for hours upon hours is a strain on our eyes just as doing bicep curls for hours upon hours would be on our arms! Optometrist’s favorite rule, the 20-20-20 rule, can help with this. This involves taking 20 seconds to focus on a distant object (20 feet away or... further) after every 20 minutes of computer work. Basically, this gives your eyes a chance to refocus their muscles on a different point in space and take a break to stretch. Looking at a digital screen can also cause fatigue and dry eyes. The high-energy blue wavelengths of light emitted from our screens contribute to the tired feeling our eyes get after a long day of computer work. Studies have shown that our focus on a computer screen reduces our blink rate by half of what it should normally be, which means more environmental exposure of our eye surfaces, less tears introduced from eyelid closure and therefore, drier and unhappier eyes. Keeping artificial tears by your computer is a great way to remind yourself to re-moisturize your eyes periodically. A blue-blocker spectacle lens coating can make a big difference in reducing your computer-related eye fatigue. Some of us can also benefit from a separate pair of prescription glasses that are adjusted for our computer working distance to allow for less strain and ease of focus at such a relatively close focal distance. Next time you visit our office, ask the team if these options may help you. If you have kids at home that are also stuck on screens for virtual learning this upcoming school year, remember to get them outside! Ideally, younger children should get about two hours of outdoor time per day to help reduce their risks of developing myopia, or near-sightedness. If you have questions about your child’s visual development and concerns regarding their near-sighted shift, our in-house myopia control expert, Dr. Lana Tu, is a great resource. Stay safe and well!
