Most of us spend time on our electronic devices. Whether it is a cell phone, iPad or laptop, we may spend several hours a day glued to our devices. But is all that screen time bad for your eyes? The answer is, it might be. 

You might know that stress does not only affect your mental wellbeing. Stress can also affect your physical health. Chronic stress can increase your risk of headaches, digestive problems, and even heart attacks. But did you know stress may also affect your eyes?

April is Stress Awareness Month, and many of us can benefit from learning how to combat stress and protect our health.

Although we may all celebrate differently, the holidays are a special time of the year to spend with people you love. From gift-giving to meal planning, there is often a lot going on. Eye health may not be the first thing on your mind, but it is important to make sure you continue to take care of your vision and protect your eyes during the holiday season.

Whether your kids are going back to school online or will be heading into the classroom, kids from preschool through high school will be hitting the books this fall.

Preparations for back to school often include shopping for new clothes and gathering up school supplies. But as part of your back to school to-do list, don’t forget to consider your child’s vision.
​
Vision problems can lead to issues with learning, behavior, and confidence. For example, kids that have visual impairments that go undetected can develop delays in learning. Some kids may also become bored with school and have trouble concentrating. 

Headaches are one of the most common complaints for adults and children. The severity and frequency of headaches varies from occasionally to almost daily. For some people, headaches can be debilitating and lead to a decreased quality of life.

Headaches have a variety of causes, including eye problems. June is National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month. It is the perfect time to encourage people with chronic headaches to seek help.
