When your child should start wearing contact lenses

  Do you think your child is ready to wear contact lenses? In terms of numbers, kids can begin wearing the lenses between the ages of 8 and 12 years old. However, a kid’s characteristics are a huge factor in whether he/she could start to wear contact lenses; the child's maturity, responsibility, self-discipline, and personality are more important than his or her age. Most doctors use the same criteria to determine whether or not a youngster is ready for these lenses. Normally, children have fewer problems with contact lens issues than adults due to their stronger immune systems, and their ability to heal more quickly. Contact lenses are beneficial to student-athletes in addition to boosting self-esteem. For sports that require protective eyewear, contact lenses are not a complete solution. However, some recreational contact lenses can provide better eyesight than eyeglasses. Contact lenses provide superior peripheral vision than spectacles, which may help your child's athletic performance. Furthermore, youngsters who prefer contacts to glasses are more likely to adjust their schedules and follow the directions for correct lens maintenance.   So what do they need to do if they chose to wear contact lenses? Washing your hands before cleaning or touching the lenses Make sure that your hand is dry with a clean cloth Rinse, clean, and disinfect contact lenses as directed Use only the products recommended by your eye care doctor Do not expose contact lenses to any kind of water or saliva Do not wear contact lenses for long periods Do not sleep in lenses unless prescribed otherwise Never wear someone else’s contact lenses Never wear your contact lenses if you suffer from infection (if your eye is red) If your eye starts itching, burning, or feels any kind of irritation, remove your lenses and contact your doctor immediately. One more thing, if your child suffers from any seasonal allergies, he/she is usually not a good candidate for wearing contacts. The lenses may only increase the itching and burning caused by their allergies.Read more

Why prescription sunglasses are important for you

It’s not just about style, prescription sunglasses are important for your eye’s health, and here’s why: Clear vision when it’s sunny Prescription sunglasses are the appropriate solution if you spend any time outside and desire crisp, clear vision in all light conditions. You can have the lenses manufactured in any sunglasses shade you choose, from light to dark, and in colors such as grey, rose, yellow, and blue, depending on how you prefer to see the world. Prescription sunglasses can correct and enhance your vision every day when the light shines on you, whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, have astigmatism, or are in the presbyopia years. UV protection Your prescription sunglasses will block 100% of the sun's UV rays, protecting your eyes from their harmful effects, regardless of the hue and style you choose. UV radiation damage can cause cataracts, macular degeneration, and cancer of the eyelids and surrounding skin, among other things. Sunglasses prevent sunburn and premature aging of the sensitive skin around your eyes because they extend the benefits of UV protection to the skin around your eyes. This is why some people buy the widest sunglass frames they can find. Because the thin, sensitive skin around the eyes is especially vulnerable to UV damage, wearing prescription sunglasses that block 100% of the sun's harmful UV rays while doing it in style. Convenience Patients can enjoy the ease of wearing only one pair of glasses when spending time outside, rather than wearing their usual prescription glasses and another pair of sunglasses over them. Your sunglasses your choice of lenses When a pair of prescription sunglasses are made to a patient's specifications, the materials and treatments used on the glasses are customizable. Scratch-resistant lenses, polycarbonate lenses, polarized lenses, and photochromatic lenses are all examples of this. To summarize all of this, prescription sunglasses are the way to keep your eyes healthy but in style!  Read more

The difference between prescription glasses & reading glasses

Which one do you need? If you’re going to need eyeglasses then you’ll need to understand the difference between those two; these two alternatives are commonly used to correct conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and others, but many new eyeglass wearers are ignorant of the differences. Let’s start this off by explaining what are reading glasses and why do you need them: Reading glasses are used to cure presbyopia, a disorder that affects the majority of adults between the ages of 35 and 45. Presbyopia is caused by a loss of flexibility in the lens of the eye, making it harder to view objects up close. These glasses are available in a variety of strengths to help the wearer enhance their reading vision. Bifocals are widely used to shift short-ranger range and distant vision because standard reading glasses are only meant to examine items at close range. Reading glasses aren't meant to correct vision problems and, unlike prescription glasses, aren't meant to be worn all day. If you find yourself holding the newspaper a couple of feet in front of you to read it, you might have presbyopia. While on the other hand, prescription glasses: They are made specifically for a patient's vision impairment and can be used to treat almost any eye problem. Patients must contact an eye specialist to acquire a proper prescription that will serve to ease their eyesight condition, unlike reading glasses that may be obtained over-the-counter. Prescription eyeglasses are more expensive than reading glasses, but they are often built with higher-quality materials, lenses, and frames, and they come in a wider range of styles. To get your pair of prescription glasses, a visit to the eye doctor is required. You will then be given a prescription specific to your needs and eye shape. These eyeglass lenses can treat problems like astigmatism by helping the wearer focus on things.  Read more

How do sunglasses protect your eyes from UV damage

Did you know that there are more than 5 benefits to your sunglasses? But let’s focus on the most important one of them: sunglasses prevent UV rays that can hurt your eyes. The UV rays from the sun, as lovely as the sun is, are quite harmful to your eyes. Macular Degeneration is a disorder that causes vision loss and is caused by prolonged UV exposure to the retina. Protect your eyes with sunglasses that block 100% of UV rays. So what exactly are UV rays? Ultraviolet is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays. UV radiation is present in sunlight and constitutes about 10% of the total electromagnetic radiation output from the Sun. Most sunglasses now have UV protection built into the lens rather than being coated on top of it, and most reputable brands specify UV protection on their labels. Look for a label that says "100 percent UVA and UVB protection" or "100 percent UV 400 protection." But just remember: If you spend a lot of time outside, especially near water, wrap-around sunglasses that block UV rays from the sides are a good option. This design will also keep the wind from drying out your eyes. They do not have to be costly. They simply must fit properly, and you must wear them for as long as you are in the sun. This is true for children of all ages. Even if you're in the shade, remember to wear sunglasses. Although shade minimizes UV and HEV exposure to some extent, UV rays reflected from buildings, streets, and other surfaces will still reach your eyes. Sunglasses are required even if your contact lenses protect against UV radiation. UV-blocking contacts only protect the area of your eye that is covered by the lens. UV rays can still harm your eyelids and other tissues that aren't protected by your lens. UV protection for these fragile tissues and the skin around your eyes is provided by wearing sunglasses. If you’re uncertain about your sunglasses simply take them to a professional where they can be tested in a photometer.   Read more

The best ways to get dry eyes relief

Imagine this, you’re taking a break from working or studying just to rest your eyes for a minute, you close them and when you reopen them they’re burning and feeling itchy; this is what is known as having dry eyes. Dry eyes cause more than just a feeling of irritation they can affect your vision, however, your aching eyes can be relieved with treatments and a few easy acts. Use your tears Every time you blink, your natural tears bathe and calm your eyes. Your eyes become dry if you don't create enough tears or if they evaporate too rapidly. If dry eye isn't addressed, it might become infected and harm the surface of your eye. Artificial tears Artificial tears are eye drops that imitate your natural tears. Doctors frequently recommend them initially. At the drugstore, you can choose from a variety of over-the-counter brands. You may have to try a few before finding one that works for you. Preservatives can be added to the drops. Choose one without artificial tears if you use artificial tears four or more times each day. Preservatives can cause eye irritation. Change your diet Flax oil, which contains omega-3 fatty acids, may benefit some persons with dry eyes. It can improve the function of the glands that produce the oily portion of tears. Tears contain oil that prevents them from evaporating too quickly. Eye Massage This is how you do it: Roll your index finger in a circular motion with your eyes closed to softly massage your lids. Alternatively, use a cotton swab to roll down your upper lid toward the lashes and the lid's edge. Move your finger or swab up toward your lash line to massage the lower lids. Do it 5 to 10 times a day. Warm your eyelids The oil glands at the corners of your eyes might become irritated and clogged with hardened oil. Heat can dissolve it, allowing it to flow freely once more. For 30 seconds to 4 minutes, apply a warm wet washcloth to the affected region. When you have symptoms, do this twice a day, and once a day to prevent the problem from returning. Control your screen time Using a computer, smartphone, or tablet might cause your eyes to become dry. This is because while your eyes are concentrated on a screen, you blink less. The 20/20/20 rule should be followed. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break from your digital gadget and look at anything 20 feet away. If you get dry eye symptoms when using your devices, use artificial tears. Read more

Contact Lenses for Astigmatism

Do you know if you have Astigmatism? Nearly all adults have some degree of astigmatism, but most don’t find that it interferes with their day to day life; traditionally, astigmatism is diagnosed via a comprehensive eye exam through three primary vision tests (visual acuity, keratometry, and refraction), doctors can see how light is refracted in your eye and determine if astigmatism is causing your vision problems. Fortunately, contact lenses can be extremely useful in correcting astigmatism — as long as they are carefully selected. Why contact lenses? Because: Lenses provide a wider field of clear vision than glasses Lenses are less likely to be lost or broken during dynamic activities that require clear vision (such as sports and games) Lenses are affordable However, choosing lenses may be more challenging for people with astigmatism than for those with other refractive errors. Not all contacts are designed for people with astigmatism, who often require highly-specialized lenses to focus properly at multiple distances.  Here are the kinds of contacts that work best for astigmatism: Toric contact lenses, are often the best choice for contact lens wearers with astigmatism because they’re specifically designed to address the problem. The special shape of a toric lens creates different refractive or focusing, powers that can help correct either a corneal or lenticular astigmatism. Soft toric lenses are extremely comfortable, and most people adapt to them easily. They are also available in a wide range of parameters and materials  Hybrid contact lenses, represent a balance between the comfort of a soft lens and the power of rigid lenses. These lenses offer the clarity of rigid gas permeable lenses along with the comfort of wearing soft toric lenses. Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) contact lenses, RGP lenses are also known as “hard contact lenses”, and are available in spherical or toric designs. Spherical RGPs can correct moderate levels of astigmatism by neutralizing the refractive error in a patient’s elliptical cornea with their spherical surface. However, high levels of astigmatism require toric RGP designs. RGP lenses often hold significant benefits to visual acuity in people with astigmatism, even when it is quite severe. They also do not require to be replaced as frequently as soft toric contact lenses. Remember, consulting with a qualified optometrist is the only reliable way to choose contacts that provide both comfort and functionality to your case.Read more

Many people opt for contact lenses or eyeglasses but to help out a bit, here is the list of pros and cons for each. Pros of Contact Lenses: Contact lenses don’t affect appearances They’re suitable for playing sports and outdoor activities They’re practical and easy to use Contact lenses don’t affect peripheral vision as glasses can Lenses do not get dirty or fog up (eg: when raining) Boost self-esteem While on the other hand: Lenses sometimes cause eye infections when worn for a long period People who fall asleep with lenses on may be at a higher risk of developing infections Poor regular cleaning can cause irritation, inflammation, and infections They can cause dry eyes They’re not suitable for those with sensitive eyes Contact lenses require more frequent checkups and prescription renewals However, when it comes to glasses, their pros: Glasses are quick, easy, and relatively cheap to improve vision Wearers are less likely to suffer from eye infections Glasses have a wide variety of options and styles to choose from They don’t need much care in comparison to contact lenses Glasses can have a protective coating that can help avoid eye strain while working on computers or mobile phones Cons: They affect peripheral vision They can break or get lost Glasses can fog up or get dirty according to weather and activity Fashionable eyeglasses frames can be expensive So how can you choose between both?

This may also be useful to give contact wearers a break or for times when they are unable to use contacts.Read more
