A child's vision plays a crucial role in their overall development, from learning in the classroom to hand-eye coordination in play. Pediatric eye exams help detect and address vision problems early, ensuring that children have the best possible visual foundation for growth and learning.

One of the growing concerns in children's eye health is myopia, or nearsightedness. Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long, causing distant objects to appear blurry. It is becoming more common in children, and if left unaddressed, it can progress, leading to more severe vision issues later in life.

Did you know that diabetes can have a significant impact on your eye health? High blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy, a condition that can cause vision loss if left untreated. In addition, diabetes increases the risk of cataracts and glaucoma.

As we welcome the new year, it's a great time to focus on setting healthy goals for the months to come. One of the most important resolutions you can make for your overall well-being is to prioritize your eye health with an annual comprehensive eye exam.
