Children won't tell you they can't see well. They won't tell you the words move on the page. They won't tell you why they are a slow reader. They won't tell you that they are working so hard to see the page that there is no energy left to learn what is on the page. Only an eye exam will. Start the school year right. Get an eye exam for your child.

Drop off your used contact lenses, blister packs (foil and all) at our office and we will recycle for you. Ask us for more ways you can recycle and reduce landfill waste!

Have you checked your baby’s eyes yet? 1 in 5 preschoolers enter kindergarten with vision problems, and many eye problems arise from conditions that can be identified by an eye doctor in an infant’s first year of life. Because we think it is so important to give all kids an equal opportunity when it comes to their vision, we offer no-cost vision assessments for infants 6-12 months at our office on Tuesdays, regardless of income or insurance coverage. Our own Dr. ...Nakada is a provider of InfantSEE, a program designed to help protect the eyes of infants and ensure that they have the highest quality of sight. #vision #eyes #glasses #optometry #optician #optometrist #eyewear #frames #style #pediatrics #infantsee #children #sight #myopia #infants #health #babies See more

What better way to end your eye exam than instantly finding that new pair of frames that fit you like a glove! Letty helped our little guy here find his 1st pair of glasses. When you know, you know! ... Interesting fact: Roughly 35% of PREschoolers have nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. We are asked a lot by concerned parents about when they should begin bringing their kids in for eye exams. Only optometrists and ophthalmologists have the training and the clinical tools to administer a thorough examination of your child's eyes and vision. The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends infants have their first eye exam within the first six months, followed by an exam at year 3 and then just before entering school. If your child wears glasses, we want to see them back annually. #glasses #optometry #optician #optometrist #eyewear #vision #frames #style #pediatrics #fashion #infantsee #children #sight #myopia See more

Today I learned the kiwi (aka Chinese gooseberry) originated from China and is technically a berry The kiwi is considered a nutrient-dense food, meaning it is high in nutrients and low in calories. One kiwi has almost no fat and roughly 40 calories ... As eyecare professionals, we think the kiwi deserves a spotlight because of its impact on eye health. One cup of kiwi contains double the Vitamin C compared with a single orange. Due to its regenerative properties, high intake of vitamin C and other antioxidants may help prevent the formation of cataracts in older adults. The kiwi also contains carotenoids such as pro-vitamin A beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants also found naturally in the lens and retina, where they help absorb harmful high-energy blue and ultraviolet light. Studies have shown that dietary intake of these may help protect against the development of advanced macular degeneration. #optometry #optometrystudent #nutrition #eyehealth #ophthalmology #fruits #healthydiet #vitamins #eyes #kiwis #calories #cataracts #retina See more
