Myth: If myopia runs in the family, there's nothing you can do. It’s just genetics.
Busted: Family history matters, but so do age of onset, screen habits, and time spent outside. Regular eye exams help us monitor changes so we can discuss options to slow myopia progression.

For years, a stronger prescription was the standard response when a child's myopia worsened. Today, we have evidence-based approaches designed to slow myopia progression, including specialized glasses, contact lenses, ortho-k and low-dose atropine.

🍂 Cold and flu season is knocking on the door, and we’d just as soon not let it in.

Our team at Appalachian Eye Care just rolled out our Workplace Wellness Plan for October, and we’re practicing what we preach: 🧼 Wash those hands. Use soap and water for at least 20 seconds. That’s about two rounds of “Happy Birthday.”
🧴 No sink handy? Use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, and rub until your hands are dry.
💪 Cover that cough. Use a tissue or the inside of your elbow, not your hands.
🧽 Clean what everybody touches. That means door handles, counters, phones, and keyboards.
👀 A tip from your eye doctors: keep unwashed hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth. Your eyes are a front door for germs, and nobody wants pink eye for the holidays.

Shared space, shared responsibility. Let’s look out for each other this season. 💚

Does childhood myopia always get worse? No. But myopia can progress as your child's eyes grow, particularly if it begins at a young age. Annual comprehensive eye exams are important for monitoring changes to keep their eyes healthy for a lifetime of seeing their best.

Myth: Digital eye strain means your eyes are failing.
Busted: Tired eyes, headaches and difficulty focusing after hours of screen use can be signs of digital eye strain. Healthy screen habits and the right lens options may help. Ask us about anti-fatigue lenses at your eye exam.

“How often should I look away from my screen?”
Give your eyes a break from intense focus with the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something at least 20 feet away for about 20 seconds. A timer or reminder can help make this healthy strategy a habit.

Eyeglasses once primarily corrected refractive errors. Today, lens technology addresses different visual demands, including an increased use of screens. Anti-fatigue lenses are one example of how modern eyewear is designed for the ways you use your eyes every day.

Anti-fatigue lenses are not reading glasses, and they don’t mean your eyes are failing. They provide a subtle near-focus boost that supports your eyes during extended periods of screen use, studying, or other intense close-up work.

“Why do my eyes feel dry after screen time?”
One reason is that you tend to blink less when staring at screens. Make a conscious effort to blink fully and frequently, and ask your optometrist about options for relief at your next appointment if dryness or discomfort persists.
