Remote Learning? Blue Light Glasses Can Protect Your Eyes
In normal amounts, blue light can be beneficial for your health, setting your sleep-wake cycle and boosting your mood. But overexposure to blue light, especially when the source is digital devices, can increase certain health risks. In particular, it can strain your eyes and lead to a slew of painful symptoms.

IS NYSTAGMUS A SUPER VILLAIN OR SOMETHING? While the word “Nystagmus” may sound like a character out of a comic book, it actually refers to a condition characterized by repetitive involuntary eye movements, where the eyes may move from side to side, up and down, or in circular motions. Neuro-optometric rehabilitation treats patients with several types of visual disorders, including nystagmus. Learn more by contacting us today!

Did you know? The younger the child is, the more rapid the myopia progression. Myopia is linked to two major factors: GENETICS and LIFESTYLE.
GENETICS: Children who have one or two myopic parents are at a higher risk of developing myopia.
⠀
LIFESTYLE: Kids who spend too much time on near-activities, such as using their digital devices, and who limit their time outdoors are more likely to develop myopia.
⠀
Fortunately, we offer a variety of treatments to slow or even halt myopia progression. Contact us today to learn more!

To discover how sports vision training can help you become a better climber, contact us today!
