number of eye ailments before they turn into something
much more serious. They can even alert
you
to general health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
That's why we strongly
encourage you to keep up with a regular schedule of eye
exams, especially if your family has a history
of
eye or other health problems. If you like, we’ll gladly send you
periodic reminders so that you can
stay on a regular schedule of essential eye exams.

An eye exam can detect vision
problems associated with frequent computer use. More than 143 million
Americans work on a computer
each day, with 88% of them suffering from computer eyestrain,
according
to estimates. In addition, nearly 54 million children work at a
computer each day either at home or in
school. Prolonged computer use can stress a child's eyes and impact
his or her vision development.

Eye Exams for children can play an important role in normal
development. Vision is closely linked to the
learning process. Children who have trouble seeing or interpreting
what they see will often have trouble
with their schoolwork. Many times, children will not complain of
vision problems simply because they
don't know what "normal" vision looks like. If your child performs
poorly at school or exhibits a reading
or learning disability, be sure to have his/her eyes examined to rule
out an underlying
visual cause.
