August is "Children's Eye Health and Safety Month". This time is very crucial to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of eye conditions like refractive errors and amblyopia. As an optometrist, I play a key role in this effort by conducting comprehensive eye exams, educating families on the significance of early intervention, and providing effective treatments. Regular eye check-ups are essential to ensure that children grow up with healthy vision. This month is a reminder to prioritize eye health, protect young eyes, and set the foundation for a lifetime of clear sight. #myopia #amblyopia #eyeawareness #optometrist

Levels such as this can cause hearing loss and tinnitus. This fact reinforces the critical need for ear protection throughout our industry. 🎧 Tinnitus affects 1 in 7 adults in the UK, significantly impacting the quality of life for many. Furthermore, over 90% of individuals suffering from tinnitus may experience hearing loss later in their lives. 🎧Take care of your hearing. 🦻 It's invaluable!!!

A new effort to increase vision impairment testing among children is making positive strides. The "Early Detection of Vision Impairments in Childrens (EDVI) Act" would create new opportunities for states and communities to test children for vision impairments. This would also be the first program made for children's vision - there are already public health programs for oral health and hearing health. Late last year National Vision Administrators (NVA) wrote about a common condition found in children called Cortical Vision Impairment (CVI). Read more about CVI to learn how this new act would really benefit children with vision impairments: https://zurl.co/uVjC
