    Our Covid Protocols and Policies to Keep Everyone Safe

    For the most part, businesses functioning in brick and mortar stores took a massive hit during the COVID pandemic. There were many challenges with running a company if the company had no option but to work in person.

But there is the sunglasses conundrum. Switching from prescription glasses to prescription sunglasses can be a pain. You always have to remember to bring your sunnies with you and it’s easy to lose them (or your glasses) when it’s time…

    Do I Need Sports Glasses - What Precautions Athletes Should Take to Protect Their Eyes

    A number of sports require protective gear, ranging from full-on pads and helmets to just a mouthguard or shin guards. However, many times, the eyes are left exposed, as it’s not all that common for protective sports eyewear to be mandated. Often, only people who normally wear prescription eyeglasses will turn to sports glasses. Yet, anyone can benefit from them. Today, we’re discussing eye safety for athletes and sharing tips to protect your vision. THE PREVALENCE OF SPORTS-RELATED EYE INJURIES It’s estimated that around 30,000 sports-related eye injuries are seen at the emergency room in the United States every year. It also…

    What Is Presbyopia, What Causes It and How Is It Treated

    It might seem like almost everyone you know eventually has to wear glasses at some point in their life. Why is that?
