As the vibrant hues of spring start to mellow into the warmth of summer, nature orchestrates a graceful transition that captivates the senses. Once crisp with the fragrance of blossoms and a last touch of winter chill, the air now carries a gentle hint of impending heat and summer sun. The shift of seasons ushers in a change in where we spend our time.

More of us will spend more time outdoors over the next couple of months, whether it is for yard work, gardening, music festivals, swimming, or just a nice walk. But as we spend more time outside, we need to ensure that we take the proper precautions to protect our eyes.

As parents, we strive to provide the best possible care for our children, and one essential aspect often overlooked is their eye health. Some eye conditions are entirely out of our hands, whether from genetics or age. However, proper eye care habits can prevent or manage many eye diseases.

Developing healthy habits from an early age can significantly contribute to the long-term well-being of your child's vision. 

Our brains constantly produce electrical activity in the form of brainwaves, which vary in frequency depending on the individual's mental state. These waves are created as our neurons communicate with each other. During relaxed states, the brain produces slower brainwave frequencies, such as alpha and theta waves, while during focused or alert states, it produces faster frequencies, like gamma or beta.

   Eye injuries in the workplace are very common. According to recent reports from The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, every day, nearly 2,000 U.S. workers sustain job-related eye injuries that require medical treatment. However, safety experts and eye doctors believe simply using proper eye protection on the job could prevent thousands of eye injuries each year.
