Devlyn Optical joins Leander Chamber of Commerce

May 25, 2016 by Team Kuware Leave a Comment

We decided to join the Leander Chamber of Commerce because we want to be on top of important, ever-changing issues and trends within the community and proactively serve the marketplace in the best way possible.

However, as part of the Leander community, we also try to give back to the community we serve by giving the gift of sight to those in need and educating children and adults on proper vision care.

We believe the Leander Chamber of Commerce will enable us reach out to the community in a more effective way to identify children and adults in the Leander community suffering from poor vision because they lack access to eye care and eyewear.

Did you know that the 80% of our memories are stored because of what we see? This healthy vision month, let’s take care of our eyes.

Here are few tips to keep your eyes healthy -

Use Sunglasses to protect your eyes: Exposure to sun’s UV(ultra-violet) rays make you prone to eye diseases like cataract. Go for sunglasses that offer protection against UVA/UVB rays to safeguard yourself.
Eat Good, See Better: Eating nutritious and protein rich food gives our eyes the strength to fight off vision problems like Catract and Age-related Macular Degeneration. Vitamins C & E and essential nutrients like Zinc, Lutein and Omega-3 are recommended for healthy vision.
Stop Smoking: It has been found that people who smoke regularly are at higher risk of being diagnosed with macular degeneration and cataract. It is advised that we should stop smoking to maintain our eyes healthy.
Regular Eye-check Up: No matter what age you are, you should get your eyes tested regularly. Diseases like Diabetic Retinopathy and Glaucoma show no symptoms or early signs. Eye examinations help you diagnose them early and avoid vision loss.

During this healthy vision month, visit any of Devlyn Optical Store and get your eyes tested by our experienced optometrists and keep your vision hale and hearty.

Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma and Age-Related Macular Degeneration are few of the familiar eye diseases that show no early symptoms or signs that can lead to vision loss and blindness.

You will be surprised to know –

People above 50 years of age have increased risk of developing Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Hispanics/Latinos are prone to Diabetic Retinopathy caused due to uncontrolled diabetes
Glaucoma has been found to be 3x times more common in African-Americans. It affects the peripheral vision in an individual
Chances of having diabetes among American Indians and Alaska Natives are 35% more than an average adult in US. This increases the risk of diabetes related eye diseases among them.

Regular eye check-up and tests ensure that your eyes remain healthy. And, if you feel that you are at higher risk of an eye-disease, it is advised that you should get a comprehensive dilated eye exam done.

Early detection and treatment will help slowdown or avoid vision loss, bringing down the risk of blindness significantly.

May is a Healthy Vision Month!

Do you know close to 4 Million people (above 40 years of age) in United States were reported to be suffering from Vision Disorder in 2010? This number is expected to touch 13 million in 2050.

Healthy Vision Month is a joint initiative of Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs) - Vision Health Initiative and National Eye Institute to create awareness about eye health and making it a priority among Americans.

Millions of persons in the United States have undiagnosed vision problems and eye conditions. Vision impairment is associated with the inability to perform daily activities, such as reading, driving a car, and preparing meals. Moreover, vision impairment is associated with an increased risk for falls, fall-related injuries, social isolation, and poorer overall health.

National Eye Institute recommends that during the Healthy Vision Month, individuals should undertake a comprehensive dilated eye examination by an eye-care professional. This will help detecting certain eye diseases and conditions at early stages and avoid any kind of vision loss.

We request you to spread a word and share this information with everyone you care for. Let us come together and help everyone see better!

Frames to fit you and your life

April 29, 2016 by Team Kuware Leave a Comment

Professionally trained Opticians in every Devlyn Optical Store are ready to help you pick frames that are both functional and fashionable. Shopping for frames starts with your lens prescription. Many lenses must have a certain shape for maximum effectiveness.

Matching your lenses with a frame that fits well and looks good on you is what our Opticians at Devlyn Optical do best. You can be assured of a wide selection of frames and a team of professionals whose recommendations you can trust.

Picking up the right Frame

Frame Size - A frame should cover 20 to 30 percent of your face, with the top part of the frame closely following your eyebrow line. Too large a frame can catch glare and create distortions in your vision. If the frame is too small, your peripheral or side vision may be limited.
If your prescription is strong or you have astigmatism, consider small frames with rounded edges because they reduce distortions created by having too much of the lens outside the line of vision.

Frame Material - Most frames are made of plastic or metal. Metal frames are the lightest whereas plastic ones are more durable and are recommended for children and people with higher prescription (thicker lenses).
The recent metal frames are remarkably flexible and can be twisted completely and will revert back without any damage to the frame.

Good Fit makes You Feel Good

Eyeglasses should be comfortable when you wear them. A perfect fit makes you feel good. Eyeglasses need to rest comfortably on your nose bridge and avoid irritation at the back of your ears.Our optometrists at Devlyn Optical closely examine and adjust nose bridges and hinges to make eyeglasses a perfect fit for your face.

You are lucky to wear glasses

Did you know that according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 285 million people are estimated to be visually impaired worldwide. In their study, the WHO looked for some of the communalities shared by those millions of people and found that the leading cause of visual impairments globally was uncorrected refractive errors.

What does this mean? This means people not being taking the necessary preventative steps to be treated for their visual impairments. This means people that need some sort of corrective vision like prescription glasses, contacts, or even refractive surgery choose to not do anything about it instead. Yes, many of these people who suffer from a visual impairment may not have the resources available to obtain the care that they need, but I ask, what is your excuse?

Are you simply used to seeing poorly?
Since it’s not broken, why fix it?

At Devlyn Optical, we believe that this statistic makes absolutely no sense since 80% of all visual impairments can be prevented or cured with proper preventative care. This means a yearly comprehensive eye examination with dilatation.

I urge you to take control of your vision health and take the first step by scheduling your eye exam today. Remember that and eye examination is for so much more than just glasses. Through a comprehensive eye exam, the optometrist will not only check the health of your eyes, most importantly the optometrist will perform a thorough evaluation of your visual health looking for indications of eye conditions and diseases like cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, which can be easily detected with a comprehensive eye exam.

So stop by Devlyn Optical Store today where one of our highly qualified opticians is eager to help you find the perfect pair of glasses for your prescription and style.

We hope to see you soon!
