Eyewear Favorites of Six Classic Rock Stars

Written By Kara Keigan

Some rock stars are iconic beyond their music. They’re stylish as all get-out. And the distinctive eyewear they select becomes fused to their brands.

National Eye Exam Month and Important Children’s Vision Research

Written By Barry Silver

August is National Eye Exam month. Optometry Times claims there are five great reasons you should care about eye examinations:

Proper prescription
Your eye exam reveals if you need eyeglasses or contact lenses and what prescription will work best. If you already have prescriptive eyewear, keep in mind your vision needs tend to change as you age.
Detect eye conditions
An exam will enable your eye care professional to spot the early signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma, and high cholesterol.
Prevent conditions
An optometrist can see early signs of diseases that may not present symptoms, such as macular degeneration or cataracts. Early detection is important.
Alleviate headaches
Visiting an eye care professional often leads to taking care of constant headaches.
Improve academic performance
Poor vision is a common reason children fall behind in school.

Speaking of children, this year, National Eye Exam month brings us an in-depth and important research compilation from National Center for Children’s Vision and Eye Health at Prevent Blindness titled, Children’s Vision and Eye Health: A Snapshot of Current National Issues.
