August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month. As kids head back to school soon, ophthalmologists are reminding parents about the importance of maintaining healthy vision in helping children achieve educational success.

Whether you’re wearing yellow, red or blue lenses, they cut or filter out a chunk of light, which is basically the same as wearing sunglasses when driving at night. It is not advised that patients wear night driving glasses. There are no magic glasses that help make night driving safer or reduces the oncoming headlight glare. #yourvision #yourfuture #becausevisionmatters #eyecare #EYEmergencyMD #telemedicine #pinkeye #blindness #ophthalmology #eyesight #healthyeyes #eyehealth #eyedoctor #stye #eyedrops #🚫preventableblindness https://www.instagram.com/p/B0rVij0Buu8/?igshid=55l7t45fembn

As if we needed another reason to love Nate Berkus! Novartis is teaming up with celebrity interior designer Nate Berkus to launch My Home in Sight, a program that aims to raise awareness of the daily impact of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and empower those living with wet AMD and their caregivers to make simple, functional changes to support safety and independence at home. Berkus' late grandmother suffered from changing vision due to macular degeneration, so he understands the impact of vision loss and the need for resources and tools for those living with this eye disease. AMD is the leading cause of blindness worldwide and a rapidly growing public health concern for people over the age of 65, with the majority of blindness in these cases due to wet AMD – the most severe form of the condition.1,2,3 As the disease progresses, people with wet AMD may experience loss of central vision, resulting in an inability to read, drive or navigate one's own home, which may lead to a loss of independence. #yourvision #yourfuture #becausevisionmatters #eyecare #EYEmergencyMD #telemedicine #pinkeye #blindness #ophthalmology #eyesight #healthyeyes #eyehealth #eyedoctor #stye #eyedrops #🚫preventableblindness https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OvIMohzN3/?igshid=1ix8ch7qoq4rl

You may want to think twice about showering or swimming with your contact lenses in. A 41-year-old woman in England nearly lost her vision in one eye from an infection she got after swimming and showering while wearing contact lenses. Her case is described in a brief report published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Many contact lens wearers are unaware of the risk of this infection, called Acanthamoeba keratitis. Indeed, it's exceedingly rare. In the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are one to two cases per million contact lens wearers. #yourvision #yourfuture #becausevisionmatters #eyecare #EYEmergencyMD #telemedicine #pinkeye #blindness #ophthalmology #eyesight #healthyeyes #eyehealth #eyedoctor #stye #eyedrops #🚫preventableblindness https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EJQ1bBVa2/?igshid=zlrtfzu2uwj1
