Eighty percent of what children learn comes through their eyes.

Why wear sunglasses year round?

The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays pose a significant risk not just to your skin but also to your vision. That's right. No matter the season, solar radiation can harm your eyes, and other components of those UV rays can lead to serious eye health and vision problems. Despite these health risks and warnings, only 40 percent of Americans cite protection from sun damage as their main reason for wearing sunglasses, according to the American Optometric Association's (AOA) 2013 American Eye-Q® Survey. Less than three in 10 (28%) say UV protection is critical when purchasing sunglasses.

An optometrist can help you find the right style and materials to meet your needs and lifestyle. And certainly schedule visits at least every two years for a comprehensive eye exam. Such visits are a good investment to monitor your eye health, maintain good vision, track UV protection needs and learn the latest advances in eye protection.

You can enjoy the great outdoors no matter the season or location. Just remember that sunglasses offer a simple solution to protect your vision from the harmful rays of the sun.

We love those smiles.

Kian Working On Eye/Hand Skills For Tennis

Sports vision training works on improving the visual abilities of an athlete that are most necessary for excellence in their sport. Some of these abilities include eye-hand coordination, dynamic visual acuity, tracking, focusing, visual reaction time, and peripheral vision. All activities are done on a sport specific basis with a custom tailored program for each sport and athlete. Therefore, a program for a tennis player will emphasize eye-hand coordination and dynamic visual acuity whereas a program for a golfer will concentrate on visual alignment and depth perception to see the breaks in the greens.

Many athletes are amazed at how we can predict their performance based on our findings from a visual screening. If you are having trouble getting to the next level in your particular sport even after stepping up your practice, you might have a visual problem limiting your success.
