October is Halloween Eye Safety Month

Thu, 26 Sep 2019 20:18:46 GMT

To avoid a real-life Halloween horror story – going blind because of a costume accessory – the American Academy of Ophthalmology is warning the public against wearing costume contact lenses purchased without a prescription. These illegally sold cosmetic lenses may not be sterile and can cause a host of serious eye problems capable of morphing a fun Halloween night into a nightmare.

Get an eye exam
Get a valid prescription
Buy lenses from a retailer that asks for your prescription
Follow proper contact lens care instructions
Don't share your contact lenses with others

September is Healthy Aging Month

Wed, 28 Aug 2019 16:31:23 GMT

One in six Americans age 65 and older have a vision impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. The risk of eye disease increases with age, yet many older adults neglect to see an ophthalmologist for care. To bring attention to taking care of our eyes as we age, the American Academy of Ophthalmology celebrates Healthy Aging Month to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of vision loss - and steps to help seniors take care of their sight. The most common eye diseases and conditions that affect older adults include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract , diabetic retinopathy , dry eye , glaucoma , and low vision . Many of these diseases and conditions do not have noticeable symptoms in their early stages, but they can be detected through a comprehensive dilated eye exam. Treatment is most effective when an eye disease is diagnosed early.

Some vision problems the elderly SHOULD NOT ignore are:

Floaters

Cloudy Vision

Dark Spots

Blind Spots

Sudden Vision Changes

Halo's
