Did you know myopia is more than an inconvenience; it can pose a serious risk to your child's long-term vision. As a child develops and myopia rapidly progresses, the child is at a higher risk of developing dangerous eye diseases later in life. www.opticalzone.net
Would your children like to leave their glasses at home and still be able to see clearly? Orthokeratology (ortho-k) makes that possible. Children wear special contact lenses to sleep and wake up with excellent vision the next day. It gently corrects myopia (the elongation of the eye) and nearsightedness.
Try these simple tips to keep your glasses fog-free!
- Wear a mask that fits snugly around your nose.
- Place a folded tissue under your mask, right at the bridge of your nose, to absorb the moisture.
- Ask us about anti-fog sprays and wipes!

Eye injuries are more likely to happen at home than anywhere else. Home cleaning, yard work, or even just playing with the kids puts you at risk for an eye injury. Make sure to wear the proper protective eyewear when handling chemicals, flying debris, and dust particles.
An eyeball's elongation causes more than nearsightedness or myopia — It can lead to cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration later in life. That's why controlling myopia is vital.
With kids back to school in person and online, you may notice that your child's vision is changing. Schedule an evaluation for your child. www.opticalzone.net

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!
