Vitamin A Vitamin A plays a crucial role in vision by maintaining a clear cornea, which is the outside covering of your eye. This vitamin is also a component of rhodopsin, a protein in your eyes that allows you to see in low light conditions.... Vitamin A deficiency is rare in developed countries, but if unaddressed can lead to a serious condition called xerophthalmia. Xerophthalmia is a progressive eye disease which begins with night blindness. If vitamin A deficiency continues, your tear ducts and eyes can dry out. Eventually, your cornea softens, resulting in irreversible blindness. Vitamin A may also help protect against other eye afflictions. Some studies suggest that diets high in vitamin A may be associated with a reduced risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. SUMMARY Severe vitamin A deficiency can lead to xerophthalmia, a serious condition that can result in blindness. In some studies, high amounts of vitamin A intake were associated with a reduced risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. #insightoptometry #vitaminA #eyehealth #visiontherapy #drtoor #drlarson #eyeexams #langleybc #dryeyespecialist #opticalframes #protectyoureyes #doctorofoptometry

Don’t let an eye infection be the scariest part of your Halloween. Using decorative lenses without a valid prescription can cause serious harm to your eyeshaunting you long after October 31. You can safely buy contact lenses from eye doctors’ offices, online, or by mail order with a valid prescription. Do not purchase decorative contact lenses from costume shops, online stores, beauty salons, drug stores, flea markets, or anywhere that doesn’t require a prescription. When ...decorative contact lenses are sold without a prescription, proper fitting, and education from an eye doctor, there may be a higher chance of contact lens-related eye problems. Decorative lenses purchased without a prescription may not fit properly, leaving the eye more susceptible to scratches on the outer layer of the eye, or getting an ulcer (an open sore) on the cornea- the clear covering over the front of the eye. The result of a scratch or sore can be scarring, infection, and permanent vision reduction or loss. #insightoptometry #halloween #2020 #protectyoureyes #contactlens #eyeexams #contactfitting #opticalframes #dryeyespecialist

A childrens eye exam is an expert assessment of your childs eye health and vision performed by an optometrist (OD) or ophthalmologist (eye MD). A brief examination of your childs eyes and a vision screening by a pediatrician or family practice doctor is not a substitute for an eye exam performed by an eye doctor. Only optometrists and ophthalmologists have the advanced training and clinical tools to perform a thorough evaluation of your childs eyes and vision.... Why childrens eye exams are important Eye exams for children are very important to insure your childs eyes are healthy and have no vision problems that could interfere with school performance and potentially affect your childs safety. Early eye exams also are important because children need the following visual skills that are essential for optimal learning: Excellent visual acuity at all distances Accurate and comfortable eye teaming skills Accurate eye movement skills Accurate and comfortable focusing skills When to have your childs eyes examined Children should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age. The then should have their eyes examined exams at age 3 and just before they enter the first grade at about age 5 or 6. School-aged children should have an eye exam at least every two years if no vision correction is required. Children who need eyeglasses or contact lenses should be examined annually or as recommended by your eye doctor. Scheduling your childs eye exam When scheduling an eye exam for your child, choose a time when he or she usually is alert and happy. Specifics of how eye exams are conducted depend on your childs age, but generally an exam will include a case history, vision testing, determination of whether eyeglasses are needed, testing of eye alignment, an eye health evaluation and, if needed, prescription of eyewear. #insightoptometry #drtoor #drlarson #eyeexam #visiontherapy #kidsvisionmatters #backtoschool #langleybc #doctorofoptometry #opticalframes #contactlenses

Prolonged exposure to our computer and smartphone screens have been shown to cause digital eye strain, headaches, macular degeneration, and even blindness due to the blue light. The simplest way to prevent all that nastiness according to experts? Rest your eyes periodically. Specifically, doctors recommend looking away 20 feet for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. 20-20-20 for short. When we stare at the screen for too long, general fatique, headaches, eye stress and even diseases... such as myopia and cataract can develop. This is why our parents used to warn us about watching TV for too long- in todays era, computers and mobile phones are the new enemy. Our eyes are made up of muscles just like the rest of our body, and changing the eyes focal point is akin to giving them a rest and workout in one. Studies have shown it takes around 20 seconds for the eyes to relax, and hence the 20 seconds in the 20-20-20 rule. While the 20-20-20 eye rule is simple enough to understand, remembering to follow it daily is difficult. If you look at your computer or smartphone often, also be aware of the harmful effects of prolonged exposure to blue light that these devices emit. Consider wearing a pair of good glasses that filter out blue light that can cause eye strain, macular degeneration, and even blindness. Also, get a good desk lamp for your eyes is flicker free and the proper brightness to prevent fatigue. #insightoptometry #drlarson #drtoor #eyehealth #eyestrain #dryeyespecialist #eyeexams #bluelightglasses #20-20-20 #contactlenses #opticalframes #visiontherpy #sunglasses #eyedrops #langleybc #visioncare #doctorofoptometry

Anterior Uveitis: Anterior uveitis is an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye. This layer includes the iris (colored part of the eye) and the adjacent tissue, known as the ciliary body. If untreated, it can cause permanent damage and loss of vision from the development of glaucoma, cataract or retinal edema. Anterior uveitis usually responds well to treatment; however, the condition tends to recur. Treatment usually includes prescription eye drops, which dilate the pu...pils, in combination with anti-inflammatory drugs. Treatment usually takes several days or, in some cases, several weeks. Anterior uveitis can result from a trauma to the eye, such being hit or having a foreign body in the eye. It can also be a complication of other eye diseases, or it may be associated with general health problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, rubella and mumps. In most cases, there is no obvious underlying cause. Signs/symptoms may include: Red, sore and inflamed eye Blurred vision Sensitivity to light Small (or irregular-shaped) pupil The symptoms of anterior uveitis are similar to those of other eye diseases. Therefore, your optometrist will carefully examine the inside of your eye under bright light and using high magnification to determine if you have the condition. Your optometrist may also perform or arrange for other diagnostic tests to help pinpoint the cause. #insightoptometry #langleybc #drtoor #drlarson #visioncare #eyeexams #visiontherapy #opticalframes #dryeyespecialist #contactlenses #eyehealth #sunglasses #protectyoureyes #doctorofoptometry

How Can You Reduce Blue Light Exposure? The last thing you want to do is shut yourself in the dark because that can have physical and emotional consequences, so what are you options? Here are some ways that you can minimize the damaging effects of blue light: Try "blue blocker" or blue-light filtering glasses, but dont settle for cheap knock offs. TheraSpecs are a great brand, particularly if you already have migraine or another light-sensitive condition.... Use "night mode" or similar apps that are native settings on your phone and your computer. This can warm the lighting on your device and make it easier on the eyes. Turn your phone or computer off at least 2-3 hours before you go to bed. Change your light bulbs to warmer tones and colors. Opt for more natural light if possible and avoid/remove fluorescents, if appropriate. Give your eyes a break. Look away from your screen at least once every 20 minutes to let your eyes reset. And dont forget to blink! #bluelight #insightoptometry #drtoor #drlarson #eyehealth #visiontherapy #eyeexams #eye #protectyoureyes #sunglasses #opticframe #sunglasses #visioncare #langleybc #doctorofoptometry See more

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for good vision. This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in your eye. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60. The two major categories of glaucoma are open-angle glaucoma and narrow angle glaucoma. The "angle" in both cases refers to the drainage angle inside the eye that controls the outflow of the watery fluid (aqueous)... which is continually being produced inside the eye. If the aqueous can access the drainage angle, the glaucoma is known as open angle glaucoma. If the drainage angle is blocked and the aqueous cannot reach it, the glaucoma is known as narrow angle glaucoma. Treatment for glaucoma can involve surgery, laser treatment or medication, depending on the severity. Eye drops with medication aimed at lowering IOP are usually tried first to control glaucoma.

When people think of eyesight, the terms 20/20 vision, sunglasses and eye exams come to mind. Vision is so much more than that and can affect the academic process in ways you might never think of when your child is struggling with reading, writing and spelling. When you realize that 80 to 85 percent of learning occurs through your childs visual system, it makes you rethink the learning process and focus on the importance of eyesight and how it impacts how they process inform...ation through their visual system. The ultimate goal of the visual process when your child sees objects and processes information is to arrive at an appropriate motor or cognitive response. Its our eyes that take in the images, but it is the brain that processes our world around us. Things like symbols, pictures, movement, distance, and colors are part of the endless stream of stimuli that reach our eyes. From that point, the brain must process the information accurately to give your child the opportunity to learn and grow. Sometimes, a child can see perfectly fine, but there are weaknesses in the brain functions that process visual information. These weaknesses are called visual processing disorders or visual processing issues. Visual processing affects everything your child does. Learning in the classroom is affected, as well as how a child responds to movement and distance. Visual discrimination problems can impede a childs ability to play or participate in simple activities like a game of soccer. Ordinary day to day tasks such as sorting socks, climbing the stairs, putting away silverware, and picking out specific colors in a crayon box may be challenging for a child that silently struggles with visual processing disorders. Visual processing disorders cover a variety of vision issues that have nothing to do with nearsightedness or farsightedness. A child with a visual processing issue may pass the eye exam with flying colors because the eyes are just fine. The problem lies in the brain, where the occipital lobe has trouble processing the signals that come from the eyes. While we think of vision as something to do with eyesight, it is much more than that. Our team can help your child.
