August is Children's Eye Health Month!

This is traditionally the time of year when everyone is gearing up to return to school. School may look a little different this fall, so we at Ardsley Eye Care are making every effort to adapt to the changing visual needs of our school-age patients. Our children are spending considerably more time looking at laptops at home instead of blackboards at school, and all of this up-close work really adds up! Be sure to remind your child to look out the window occasionally to give their eyes a break. All this near work can contribute to accelerating near-sightedness as well; don’t hesitate to ask Dr. Wolfe about ways to slow down your child’s myopia progression.
