Children and Contacts Health Concerns

When children have contacts, they at times can be irresponsible. In a recent study done on emergency rooms, it was discovered that 23 percent of medical emergencies that involved medical devices involved contact lenses.

There were no specifics as to what the actual details were. However, this only leads to speculation that proper eye care and proper use, cleaning and disposal of contact lenses can only reduce the number of emergency room visits by children.

Many times the kids think they know better about themselves, but end up causing more harm than good. Make sure to review with your children what they should eb doing and that they are doing it every day.

Children's Back To School Eye Exams

As kids head back to school it is time to make sure that they have the right prescription for success and in many cases, that means corrective lenses. This could be contacts or glasses, but either way, they need to be done.

Consider how it is you will get these exams out of the away. You will also want to maker sure that your eye doctor is using the most up to date equipment so you will get the prescription and eye care for your child. Consider retinal mapping as well as laser scanning as ways that the doctor can use to make the vision better.

Computer Vision Syndrome & Affects on Eye Health

As we become more and more reliable on our computers, cell phones and other electronic devices to be able to communicate and conduct business, we are realizing that we are becoming more of a squinting nation. In other words we are damaging our vision since we are being forced to view things in nontraditional ways and thus causing more problems than are truly necessary to us.

There are ways to set up your workstation so as to avoid dealing with this and to minimize the effects and you need to determine how it will work best for you in order to maintain healthy vision.

Watch Out For Green Lasers - Eye Health

Green laser pointers as many would think would not cause as much damage to the retina as a red laser. 

However, as has been learned through recent research that is just not the case. The problem itself is not with the green light that these laser pointers emit, it is with the invisible light that is produced which will cause damage to the retinas. It is not necessarily that the lights are too bright, but that the manufacturing process of many of these green laser pointers is inadequate and does not have enough of a filter to keep the invisible light at a safe level.
