Good point. Thoughts of Dog

Just like high blood pressure, many eye conditions have no early symptoms and you do not know what your body is going through until you get checked out. Many health conditions also have eye-related side effects that an eye exam can bring to your attention. This is one of the main reasons why regular eye exams are extremely important, especially for those over the age of 60.

An academy-administered vision screening is not a comprehensive eye exam.

Let us help you determine what is needed for your student to start this school year off right!

These days, glasses often have a lifespan of 1-3 years, but there are some treatments you can add to your lenses to make them more durable. One treatment is scratch resistance. Looking to replace lenses from a pair of vintage frames? Ensuring the right lens coating and treatments is something to consider! Antique eyeglasses made of solid gold often last longer and other, newer antique frames and are more likely to last with no breakage during a lens replacement.

It's the middle of baseball season! A perfect time to talk baseball and eyeballs. One question we had: Does eye dominance make a difference? Pitchers have been evaluated with respect to eye dominance and earned run average but it turns out, there is really no association between eye dominance, pitching, hitting, or fielding skills in baseball. Case closed. Game on.

From math class to gym class, visual tasks are well aligned with performance and educational progression.

Let us also add this to the equation, 20/20 vision does not =equal= perfect visual acuity, perception, recognition, or hand-eye coordination.

Mark your calendar to bring your child in before the bell rings for a comprehensive eye exam in preparation for a new school year. 🔔✏️👀

Early diagnosis for any eye/vision issues is always ideal. Amblyopia, known to most as "Lazy Eye", is often caused by abnormal visual development from birth, often only affects one eye, and is often a result of premature birth or family history. Early diagnosis of the hindrance is important because left untreated, it can lead to blindness. https://bit.ly/3zR787p

It's Book Lovers Day! A great day to talk diopter levels. These are the numbers that act as the measurement of the magnification level in the reading glasses lenses and they range from +1 to +4, increasing by +0.25 every step of the way. Two signs you need reading glasses? 1: You've reached age 40. 2: It's difficult to read the fine print. Wondering what level you should start at? We're here to help. Take a look at this list of the best books and share one of *your* favorite books or local book shops in the comments! https://bit.ly/2k4ME9E

Go ahead, sit outside tonight and gaze at the stars and the moon. Moon and stargazing is very low risk for your eyes. However, if you plan to gaze through a telescope to get a bit of a closer look, make sure you have the correct filters in place for eye protection! Here are some of the best places in the U.S. to gaze at the night sky: https://bit.ly/3eYgea8

Before the bell rings, here is your reminder to get an appointment in the books for your school-aged children.

An academy-administered vision screening is not a comprehensive eye exam-- one of the most important exams to ensure your student starts off on the right foot.

Eyecare practice exams are necessary to determine what may be needed to enhance vision, from glasses to contacts to vision therapy, which can lead to an increased level of three very important aspects of success in class:
- Comprehension
- Responsiveness
- Retention

Beat the rush and schedule an appointment before the bell rings! 🔔✏️👀

Having a hard time driving at night can come from several vision-related issues. Presbyopia, Myopia, Nyctalopia - the list goes on and on. And yes, driving without proper corrective lenses- day and night- is considered unlawful, often resulting in a traffic ticket and in some states a more serious consequence. Keep it safe, come on in and let us help determine what you might need to drive safely and distribute those needs to you timely.

Dear Atlanta Vision Optical Patients,

It has been a trying year for the team here at Atlanta Vision Optical. It seems like yesterday when we opened our Edgewood Shopping Center location, to help you see the world through glasses as unique as you.

After several years of great memories in our beautiful office, we are sad to tell you we will be permanently closing our doors on July 31, 2021.

Your medical records and more details will continue to be available for the period of time required by law at Reflections Eyecare

We have loved being part of this community, and we wish you the best in the future. We hope you continue seeing life to its fullest!

With love,
The Atlanta Vision Optical Family

Can you become a pilot without 20/20 vision? Go ahead and tell your little pilot aspirer that here in the U.S. the answer is yes! Still, there are vision standards that the Federal Aviation Administration requires. Does this surprise you? -->While nearsighted pilots (those who have blurred vision from afar) are required to wear corrective lenses at all times, farsighted pilots (those who may find it hard to focus up close) are only required to have corrective lenses on hand during a flight.

It's the day after the 4th of July. Are you working? While many might be taking this day off, if you're back at a desk in front of a computer, we suggest you at least take a moment to relax your eyes -- and yourself [!] -- at the end of the day. Here's how:

Happy 4th of July! Our practice will reopen Tuesday, July 6th.

Figuring out the fine points of your medical insurance can be complicated. Vision coverage is an add-on to standard health insurance, and it can be difficult to understand what benefits are included and which ones have additional associated costs. Take a moment each year to review your coverage to see how often you are covered for eye exams and if eyeglass frames and contact lenses can be purchased at a discounted cost. Questions? Give us a call!

Reminder to get up from your desk, fill up a cup with water and drink it! Taking short breaks from your computer screens and sipping on water will benefit you in many ways, and your eyes will thank you, too. When you get dehydrated, your eyes can become dry and itchy, and make your vision a bit blurry. *Cheers!*
