Preparing Your Child for an Eye Exam

Preparing Your Child for an Eye ExamThe American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that a child have his or her first eye examination by six months of age.

Vision screenings are important, they in no way replace a comprehensive eye exam. Many parents ask how they should go about preparing a toddler or young child for their first eye exam. The truth is, some parents often have more apprehension than their child. Following are a few tips for reducing anxiety for both parents and children.

Show and Tell: Talk to your child about eyes and vision in general. Check your local library for children's books about the eyes.

Take a Test Drive: If you already have an eye doctor you are comfortable with, schedule a "fun visit" to introduce your child. Most optometric offices are willing to schedule an appointment for your child to tour the office without actually having an eye exam.

Relax: If you are apprehensive about your child's eye exam, your child will be too. Some parents tend to worry that their child may unintentionally give an incorrect responses and wind up getting glasses when they don't really need them.

Google Designing 'Smart' Contact Lens For Health

google-contactsGoogle will team with Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis to develop its "Smart" contact lens for diabetics and people whose eyes are losing the ability to focus.

The company is interested in helping diabetics manage their disease, but also in helping people with presbyopia, or the gradual loss of the eyes' ability to focus on nearby objects, who can no longer read without glasses. The lens, Novartis said, could help provide vision correction to restore the eye's natural autofocus.
"Our dream is to use the latest technology in the miniaturization of electronics to help improve the quality of life for millions of people," Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder.

Diabetes is an enormous and growing health problem worldwide. About 382 million people have diabetes globally, a number that is expected to rise to 592 million by 2035, according to the International Diabetes Foundation. There are two forms of the disease, and the most common one, Type 2, is increasing in every country.

Herbs for Eye Health

Herbs for Eye HealthFor centuries, people have used herbs to treat various eye conditions, ranging from eye strain to glaucoma. Although there's little science to support these uses, several herbs do contain healthful substances that could prevent or treat eye ailments or support vision. Caution: Glaucoma, cataracts and retinal problems require medical supervision. Tell your doctor and pharmacist of any herbs you are taking.

1. Bilberry

Bilberries contain anthocyanosides, plant pigments that act as anti-oxidants--substances that help prevent and repair cell damage--and that might help prevent cataracts or help treat damage to the retina.

2. Eyebright

Herbalists commonly use eyebright to treat eye ailments, especially eye strain and mild infections. It's taken as a dietary supplement or used in eye washes or compresses.

3. Ginkgo biloba

This popular herb, known for promoting circulation, might benefit those who have eye damage from diabetes, glaucoma or macular degeneration.

4. Grape Seed Extract

Grape seed extract could possibly ease the complications of eye damage related to diabetes and other vision problems, such as macular degeneration--or so some claim--but while grape seeds contain anti-oxidants.

5. Goldenseal

Traditionally used to treat infections, goldenseal contains berberine, a compound that might help fight mild eye infections such as conjunctivitis, but there's not much berberine in goldenseal preparations.

6. Turmeric/Curcumin

Turmeric, might help prevent cataracts.

Performance Sunglasses: What Are They... And Do I Need Them?

Performance SunglassesHave you ever seen a sports figure or motorcyclist wearing a pair of sunglasses and thought how cool those shades were? Well, those sunglasses aren't just cool looking, they are also protecting and assisting their vision. With Americans spending more time outdoors, sunglasses geared towards sports or performance-orientated activity is in higher demand today.

Performance sunglasses are sunglasses that are tailored towards a specific sport, activity or profession. There is an array of sunglasses customized for skiers, motorcyclists, airline pilots and others. Performance sunglasses come in many different fashionable styles, fit and lens colors to provide the best possible use. For example, depending on the weather conditions, a baseball player, golfer or water skier might wear a pair of sunglasses that have a dark amber, copper or brown colored lens because it blocks high amounts of light from clear skies and improves the contrast on grass or against blue skies. Someone cycling or snowboarding would wear orange or yellow colored lenses which filter blue light for a sharper focus. Regardless of the color, these lenses are polarized to reduce glare and protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. They are also available in durable frames and made with polycarbonate lenses to resist possible impact that might occur while you are involved in a physical activity.

So, the next time you go to purchase a pair of sunglasses, besides making sure you look cool in them, ask yourself, "Why will I be wearing my sunglasses and what will I be doing while wearing them?" Chances are you may find yourself needing a pair of performance sunglasses. Whether you are playing a baseball game, skiing down a slope or driving your motorcycle on an open highway, do it with performance sunglasses. You will not only look cool in your shades but your vision will be optimal, making sure that you catch sight of your best performance.

New neural pathway identified in eyes that aids in vision

New neural pathway identified in eyes that aids in visionIn an article published on medicalnewstoday called “New neural pathway identified in eyes that aids in vision”, a team led by Johns Hopkins University researchers has discovered that a type of retina cell plays a more critical role in vision.

Working with mice, the scientists found that the ipRGCs - an atypical type of photoreceptor in the retina - help detect contrast between light and dark, a crucial element in the formation of visual images. The key to the discovery is the fact that the cells express melanopsin, a type of photopigment that undergoes a chemical change when it absorbs light.
The Johns Hopkins team along with other scientists conducted several experiments with mice and found that when melanopin was present in the retinal ganglion cells, the mice were better able to see contrast in a Y-shaped maze, known as the visual water task test.

Banish the Bags Under Your Eyes

Banish the Bags Under Your EyesTired of being told you look tired? Here's how to get rid of eye bags, puffiness, dark shadows, and circles.
Seasonal allergies, a cold, a sinus infection: These are some of the things that can lead to water building up under the eye.

Addressing the underlying cause will help treat these temporary eruptions of puffiness.
  • Treat hay fever, if that's the problem. 
  • Try a neti pot.
  • Switch your sleep position.
Other everyday habits, including rubbing your eyes frequently, going to bed with makeup on, and excessive drinking, can contribute to under-eye bags, too.  Heavy alcohol drinking causes dehydration . That weakens the delicate skin around the eyes, making it more likely to sink into a pouch.

Eye bags are very common, and are usually not related to your health. But if your bags appear suddenly and you're not suffering from allergies, a sinus infection, or a cold -- and they don't ease up when you try the lifestyle steps mentioned above -- it's a good idea to see your doctor.

Seven Eye Health Problems You Didn’t Know

seven health problems that an eye doctor can spot firstYour eyes are a window into your overall health, and it’s important to get your eyes checked even if you don’t think you have vision problems.

The seven health problems that an eye doctor can spot first
1. Diabetes: A routine eye exam can detect blood and other yellowish fluids seeping out of fragile and miniscule vessels in the retinas.

2. Cancer: Skin cancer can also be detected through an eye exam, as lesions called basal cell carcinomas can show up on the eyelid and can possibly spread to the brain through the eye.

3. Hypertension: Bleeding in new blood vessels in the eye and bends or kinks in the vessels which normally run straight to the retina, which may be signs of high blood pressure.


4. Autoimmune Disorders: A routine eye exam can detect an inflammation of the light-sensitive retina at the back of the eye, which may be a sign of Lupus or other autoimmune disorders.

5. High Cholesterol: A yellow ring around the cornea, which can be an indicator of high cholesterol: putting you at risk for heart attack or stroke.

6. Thyroid Disease: Bulging of the eyes, which is one of the symptoms of Grave’s Disease – a disorder characterized by an overactive thyroid.

7. Tumors: A visit to the eye doctor can reveal that you have droopy eyelids and pupils that aren’t the same size, which can point to tumors in the neck or even possible aneurysms.
