The U.S. Surgeon General's new warning on screen use includes an important concern for children's eyes: greater screen-based activity has been associated with a higher risk of myopia, especially when outdoor time is limited.

📚🍎 Back-to-school season is here! Is your family's vision ready? 👓✏️

As students and teachers head back to the classroom, their eyes are working harder than ever. Between computers, tablets, smartboards, and homework, increased screen time can lead to eye strain, headaches, blurry vision, and fatigue.

A comprehensive eye exam does more than check if you need glasses—it helps ensure you're seeing your best and can detect eye health concerns that may not have noticeable symptoms. Even if you already wear blue light glasses, it's important to make sure you don't need an updated prescription or vision correction in addition to them.

☀️ Don't forget about UV protection! Whether you're walking to school, coaching sports, supervising recess, or driving, your eyes are exposed to harmful UV rays year-round. Quality sunglasses with 100% UV protection or Transitions® lenses help protect your eyes while reducing glare and improving comfort outdoors.

👁️ Thinking about contact lenses? Contact lenses can be a great option for sports, teaching, and busy school days. If you're interested in trying contacts or need an updated contact lens prescription, let us know—we're happy to help you find the best option for your lifestyle!

📅 Don't wait to schedule! Our schedules are filling up quickly, and all four of our doctors—Dr. Goerss, Dr. Ladd, Dr. Huie, and Dr. Sigmund—are currently booking Comprehensive Eye Exams into the last week of August and the beginning of September.

Most eye exams measure how well your child sees today. At Treehouse Eyes, we also measure axial length to monitor how the eye is growing over time, helping personalize treatment and track progress.

Regular comprehensive eye exams are essential for protecting your family's vision. They allow us to monitor eye health, measure axial length when appropriate, and detect early signs of myopia progression. Through our partnership with Treehouse Eyes at Tomasino Goerss Vision Source, we offer personalized myopia management to help protect your child's vision for the future.
