If a child has a short attention span, the common assumption is that the child has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). If they have behavioral problems, then the assumption is they have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Very often a diagnosis of ADD or ADHD is compounded by underlying vision problems. Medication often masks the problem, but does not solve it. Before a diagnosis of ADD or ADHD is made, first consider a comprehensive eye exam for your child.
Vision Therapy helps children and adults who have not developed the visual skills that are needed for effective reading, writing and learning. These skills include eye movement and focusing skills, convergence, eye-hand activity, visual memory skills, and other neuro-visual functions.
Vision Therapy is an effective treatment for vision problems including eye focusing, eye coordination, amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (cross eyes).

All types of diabetes pose a serious risk to your ocular health and long-lasting vision quality. Diabetes, especially when it is not controlled properly, can lead to many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Usually, these conditions do not cause any problems or symptoms at the beginning, so you won’t know when they start. Therefore, the only way to detect or rule out any ocular complications from diabetes is through an annual eye exam. Most people with diabetes know that they are at a higher risk of many ocular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts. Yet, more importantly, diabetics need to be aware that eye complications, loss of vision, and blindness are not inevitable! Whether you have type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes, there are a number of ways for you to protect your eyesight. Our team of eye care professionals at Aspire Vision Care will help you take better care of your vision.

Wash your hands with soap and water before handling contact lenses. Place 1 lens in the palm of your hand, add a generous amount of solution, and gently rub with your finger for about 10 seconds in order to remove any buildup on the lens. Then, rinse the lens with solution. Repeat with the 2nd lens — and ta-da! They’re ready to wear!

You're invited to a special workshop for parents and professionals who interact with children whose behavior and learning problems suggest the possibility of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
Did you know there are several combinations of visual problems, visual skills deficits and refractive conditions that mimic A.D.H.D.? For a child with A.D.H.D., these visual deficiencies make things worse.
In this lively, hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to assess, test for and distinguish visual conditions that mimic or complicate A.D.H.D. You'll have an opportunity to practice tests on other participants, to ask questions, and to interact with other parents and professionals who are interested in or working with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

As you prepare to chef-it-up this holiday season, keep this in mind as you chop up your next onion! A cut onion releases a gas called Propanethiol S-oxide, and when mixed with certain enzymes in the onion, it creates a sulfur gas that irritates the eyes and triggers your tear glands. Here's a tip: keep your onion refrigerated! Cold onion doesn't release that chemical compound as easily as it would if it were warm.
