At Asheville Vision and Wellness, we see patients every day experiencing the effects of digital device eye strain. Symptoms like dry, irritated eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and neck pain have become increasingly common complaints as screen time continues to rise across all age groups.

As parents, we're diligent about many aspects of our children's health—from regular pediatrician visits to dental checkups and vaccinations. However, eye care often doesn't receive the same level of attention until a problem becomes obvious. At Asheville Vision and Wellness, we believe that proactive eye care is essential for children's overall development and success.

Contact lenses have revolutionized vision correction, offering freedom from glasses while providing clear, comfortable vision. Today, over 45 million Americans wear contact lenses, making them one of the most popular vision correction options available. From daily disposables to specialty lenses for complex prescriptions, today's contact lens technology offers solutions for almost every vision need.

As parents, we want our children to have every advantage possible in school and life. Yet many don't realize that undetected vision problems can significantly impact a child's ability to learn and develop. Vision plays a crucial role in nearly every aspect of the educational experience, from reading a whiteboard to participating in sports.
