According to Pew Research Center, the majority of parents—71% percent with children 12 or younger—admitted to being at least somewhat concerned about their children spending too much time on screens. And that was before stay-at-home orders upended many families’ screen-time limits. It's important to get off of the screens and get outside as much as possible. Sunlight helps to promote healthy eye growth and lowers the chances of nearsightedness in children. (American Academy of Ophthalmology)

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!

STRABISMUS IS NOT AN EYE MUSCLE PROBLEM
Strabismus is a BRAIN issue.
Vision therapy is KEY to treating strabismus. It works by teaching the brain to blend the information received from both eyes, thus helping them work together as a team and aligning them.
Vision Therapy is safe, drug-free, and effective for both children and adults.

Let’s talk eye focusing! 👀
Our eyes use an automatic eye focusing system in order to see at various distances. The lens structure inside the eye adjusts rapidly to do things like copy from the board (look far, look near, over and over), or maintain focus over time (reading at near).
When the eye focusing system has a problem quickly adjusting or maintaining focus, this issue is called an accommodative dysfunction. Symptoms include blurry vision, holding books too close/too far, squinting, visual discomfort and eye strain, headaches and avoidance of reading and writing.
Vision therapy can help retrain the eye-brain connection so that the eye focusing system learns how to rapidly adjust focus and maintain focus over time.
We specialize in treating accommodative dysfunction at CVD! Give us a call if you or your child may be struggling with eye focusing.
