Fun Summer Sports Could Be Dangerous Without Protective Eyewear

Eye protection is very important in every sport. In an article by Dr. Dawn Stratton, O.D., Founder of Stratton Eyes  and KyForward columnist, writes about how a summer of sports can be fun, but dangerous without protective eyewear.

According to Prevent Blindness America, hospital emergency rooms treat more than 40,000 sports related eye injuries every year. Even non-contact sports can present inherent dangers to the eyes.

Wearing protective eyewear for sports protects your eyes in several ways: the risk of eye damage is reduced and the player’s performance is enhanced by the ability to see well. Much like bike helmets, sports glasses/goggles are an accepted part of life.

Specially designed sports glasses are fit for your eye protection and comfortable during physical activities. They keep your eyes safe and enhances vision in the sports played.

Here are some facts about sports eyewear:

·      You can use lenses which are usually made of polycarbonate to protect your eye from ultraviolet rays and are valuable for outdoor sports.

·      Photochromic lenses are also a good option as they adapt to the change automatically from bright sunlight to shade.

·      Most sport frames can accommodate both prescription and nonprescription lenses.

·      The benefit of contact lens wearer is that it helps them to keep their eyes safe from dust and wind.

·      Do not try to use “dress “eyeglasses during sport because they are not made to the same protective standards as safety eyewear’s and could damage your eye.

·      The non safety eyeglasses could shatter your eye by serious eye injuries so be careful.

Your eyes matter a lot and are very sensitive so don’t avoid taking advice from your eye doctor or optometrist and while selecting your eyewear for sport go for prescription protective eyewear so that it keeps your eyes safe and away from injuries. You can take help from your eye doctor before choosing your prescription lenses.

Choosing Eyeglass Frames for Children

Selecting the frames according to your children’s taste and preference goes a long way toward getting them to wear and getting them to take good care of their frames too.

Modern children's eyeglasses feature durability and safety for your peace of mind and it's important for children to feel that they are a part of the frame selection process. 

Here are 5 trends in children’s eyewear according to an article by Erinn Morgan published on allaboutvision:

·      Designers have taken cool and classic designs that work for adults and scaled them down for kids.

·      Branded or licensed eyewear lines grab a child's attention.

·      Spring hinges, strong and flexible frame materials and impact-resistant polycarbonate or Trivex lenses all help protect your child's eyes

Entropion

Entropion refers to a condition in which your eyelid rotates inward. Your eyelashes rub against your eye and cause redness, irritation, and abrasions on the cornea of your eye. It is a common condition among the elderly.

Entropion, or eyelid retraction, develops slowly and may not be noticeable in its early stages and without treatment, this continuous abrasion can cause eye infections and scarring of the eyeball. In severe cases, you can lose sight in the affected eye.

Entropion has a number of causes. All of them involve loosening of the muscles that control the eyelids. 

Entropion is generally easy to diagnose visually. You can often achieve short-term relief by gently pulling and taping the eyelid to the outside of the eye. Entropion that develops from aging is generally not preventable. But you can reduce your risk by using eye protection when working around chemicals or other eye hazards.
