Merry Christmas from the team at Lucky Puppy Optical!

Today is the first day of winter, the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

Usually when toys are not safe, it’s because they aren’t age-appropriate for the child. When shopping for gifts, pay close attention to the age or developmental recommendations on toys.

For , consider avoiding giving these toys as gifts this holiday season: guns that shoot any kind of projectile, water balloon launchers and water guns, games that include toy fishing poles, toy wands or sabers, aerosol string, and laser pointers or bright flashlights.

Need last minute gift ideas? We offer same day service on many of our prescriptions! Give the gift of sight this holiday season.

If you have a Flexible Spending Account, you may need to use those funds by the end of 2022 or risk losing them. Prescription eyeglasses, prescription sunglasses and contact lenses are FSA-eligible.

Winter nutrition tip for eye health! Seasonal vegetables including Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, carrots, and potatoes contain vitamins A and C, beta carotene, and lutein, all wonderful for eye health. Cranberries also contain vitamins A and C.

The holidays are right around the corner! If you have children on your shopping list, keep eye safety in mind.

Amblyopia, otherwise known as lazy eye, is the most common cause of partial or total blindness in one eye in children. The term lazy eye is misleading because the eye is not actually lazy. In fact, it is a developmental problem in the nerve connecting the eye to the brain, affecting the brain’s ability to use both eyes together. The best way to identify children who are at risk for or already have amblyopia is by performing comprehensive eye examinations.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, affects more than 30% of Americans, and that number is growing, especially among school-aged children. According to the American Optometric Association, because persons with high myopia are at a greater risk of developing cataracts, glaucoma and myopic macular degeneration, myopia management may help preserve eye health. If your child has myopia, consider booking an appointment for a comprehensive eye exam, and ask us about how we can help!

You can use your Flexible Spending Account funds for prescription eyeglasses, prescription sunglasses, and contact lenses. Beat the end of the year rush and schedule your appointment today.

These NanoVista prescription glasses with a solar clip-on make it possible for your child, to be able to enjoy all plans, protect their eyes from sunlight, and continue seeing perfectly. All in one! Comfortable and easy to use for all children. Available here at Lucky Puppy Optical!

Is your child playing sports and wearing glasses? Do they seem like they struggle with wearing glasses and being active? There is an alternative which will enable your child to see during the day without the use of glasses! Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, involves the use of a special gas permeable contact lens which is placed into the eye each night before bed. The lens gently pushes the eye into the proper shape while you sleep, and in the morning, you can remove the lenses and still see clearly throughout the day. Call us at 805-869-2434 for more information.

Does your child complain about feeling dizzy, experience frequent headaches, lose their place while reading and have anxiety about reading, and have difficulty focusing while talking to you? These are some of the symptoms of Binocular Vision Dysfunction, or BVD. Binocular vision dysfunction is an ocular condition that occurs when the eyes don’t align properly with one another. Although our brains may try to correct this misalignment, it isn’t without considerable effort, and this results in a range of symptoms that are associated with the condition. Our recommendation? Schedule a pediatric eye exam.

Today, we honor veterans. Thank you for your service to the United States.
