Are You Buying The Right Glasses For Kids?

Since the time, your child has arrived, you have been doing every bit to keep them comfortable and happy. You are always particular about their routine and are cautious about their health. But with that are you taking care of their vision?

Are You Buying Right Glasses For Your Kids?

Children under the age ten are prone to high risk for skin and eye damage from ultra violet rays. A child’s skin on their eyelids and around their eyes is considerably more delicate and vulnerable than an adult’s skin. Until the age ten, the lens of a child is clear allowing solar penetration that leads to ultra violet induced ocular changes. The retinal exposure to ultra violet ray causes cataract and macular degeneration, both of these diseases cause vision impairment. The damage caused due to ultra violet ray builds over time, therefore the sooner you begin protecting your child’s vision from the sun rays, the lower the risk will be to develop such eye problems in future. After crossing this age bar, the lens becomes opaque providing better vision protection.

Fortunately, to protect your child’s vision from the ultra violet rays you can buy good quality sunglasses from GKB Opticals. Champ and Nova are the two sunglass brands exhibited by GKB Opticals on the online platform. Check out the link for more information:

When purchasing sunglasses for kids, keep the below pointers in mind:

1)    Buy sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays: Buy sunglasses that provide a higher percentage of ultra violet rays protection. The more the skin around your child’s eyes are covered the better it is. Therefore, look for oversized large frames or wraparound styles for your kid.

2)     Playground proof lenses: Kids generally run, fall, trip, bounce off from various objects at an alarming rate. Therefore, the glasses they must match with their active lifestyle. A child’s glass must be impact resistant and scratch proof. You must avoid glass lenses unless it is recommended by a doctor. The eye frame must be bendable but unbreakable. You should make sure that the glasses fit snugly to your child’s face.

3)     Let your kid make the selection: You are certainly not the one who is going to wear the glasses. Children are more likely to wear the glasses if it is of their choice. Therefore, allow them to make their own choice.

4)    Keep a check on your child’s glasses: Check that your child’s lenses are not scratched or warped and have no other flaws or distorts that might affect their vision. Children generally are not able to understand or complain when their glasses are flawed, therefore you must keep a regular check on their glasses.

At GKB Opticals, we believe that the parents need to teach their children the importance of wearing sunglasses or eyeglasses – just as they teach them to brush their teeth daily so that they can develop a good habit that lasts for life long.

All About Orthokeratology

Orthokeratology or ortho-k refers to the process of reshaping the eye with specially designed rigid gas permeable contact lenses. The major goal of ortho-k is to flatten the front surface of the eye and correct mild to moderate astigmatism and near-sightedness. This process is referred to as Corneal Reshaping. Conferring to the brand name Corneal Reshaping is also known as Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) and Bausch & Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment (VST).

Orthokeratology

How does Ortho-k works?

The GP lenses for ortho-k are applied during the bedtime and is worn over the night. The lenses gently reshape the front surface of the eye that is the cornea to correct the vision while you are sleeping. This process makes it easy for you to see clearly without eyeglasses or contact lenses when you are awake. This effect is temporary – quite enough to get you through a day. Therefore, you must wear the reshaping lenses every night to maintain a better vision throughout the day.

Who Is an Apt Candidate for Ortho-k?

Orthokeratology is a satisfactory option for near sighted candidates who are eligible for LASIK surgery or who are not good candidates for vision correction surgery. This process can be discontinued at any time causing no permanent change to the eye. People of any age group can try the process, as long as their eyes are healthy.

Ortho-k is a procedure which is particularly appealing for the candidates who are into sports or work in dusty environment making it difficult for them to wear contact lens daily.

What Outcome Can You Expect from Ortho-k?

The major goal for ortho-k is to rectify the vision to 20/20 without taking the assistance of eyeglasses or contact lenses during the day. The success rate for ortho k tend to be on the higher limit for mild prescriptions. Contact GKB Opticals to find whether your prescribed power is within the range for successful treatment through ortho-k.

Orthokeratology

Generally, How Long Does Ortho-k Take?

Though you might visualise few improvements in vision after a day or two on undergoing overnight ortho-k, it might take several weeks for the full effect to be completely visible. At this juncture, your vision will not be as clear as it was on wearing eyeglasses or contacts, as you are likely to notice few glares around the light. Therefore, it is possible that you might require a temporary pair of eyeglass for a particular task, that might involve driving at night until your eye vision is completely corrected by the ortho-k lenses.

Is Ortho-k Congenial?

Few people undergo comfort issues on attempting to wear gas permeable contact lenses during the day time. But since ortho-k GP lenses can be worn during the sleep, most people usually do not counter an issue.

Is Orthokeratology Costly?

Ortho-k is a much longer process than a regular contact lens fitting. Ortho-k requires a series of office visits and multiple pairs of lenses. GP lenses that are utilized for ortho-k are more expensive than regular contact lenses. Therefore, the fees for ortho-k are higher in comparison to the fees for a regular contact lens fitting.

Can Someone Undergo LASIK After Orthokeratology?

Yes, it is 100% possible to undergo LASIK surgery after undergoing orthokeratology. Since orthokeratology reshapes the corneas, therefore you must stop wearing the lenses for a period of time (generally for several months) so that the condition of your eyes returns back to the original shape. Also, we at GKB Opticals recommend you to enlighten your LASIK surgeon that you have already worn ortho-k lenses, so as to incur the advice that how long should you wait before undergoing the surgery.

What Is Blepharitis?

Have you ever woken up with eyelids stuck together? Do your eyelids seem to have greasy flakes around the eyelashes on waking up? If you are experiencing these symptoms, you might be suffering from blepharitis.

Blepharitis refers to the eye health condition that causes inflamed eyelids. The portion of the eyelid that generally gets inflamed is the area around the eyelashes. The inflammation causes the eyelashes to become ingrown or fall out. Blepharitis is not a transferable condition and the causes of the disease include bacterial infection or excessive oil gland production near the eyelids where the eyelashes grow. Blepharitis is of two forms:

Anterior Blepharitis: Anterior Blepharitis adversely affects the outside of the front eyelid where the eyelashes are attached.

Posterior Blepharitis: This is a kind of blepharitis that is linked to the dysfunction of Meibomian glands within the eyelid that secrete oil to assist the lubrication of the eyes.

Blepharitis Symptoms:

The condition of blepharitis can be present in both eyes and can affect both children and adults. The symptoms of Blepharitis are as follows:

  • Red, dry, itchy and blurry eyes.
  • Light sensitivity and crusting of eyelashes.
  • Excessive tears and gritty sensation in the eyes.

Maintaining good eye health is the crucial key to keeping blepharitis under control.  If you undergo any of the above symptoms, do consult an eye specialist. Some of the complications that are associated with blepharitis are dry eye syndrome, permanent scarring of the eyelids and pink eye. Typically, the treatment of blepharitis includes:

  • Eyelid scrubbing: Removing the build-up of excessive bacteria from the lid margin is essential for successful blepharitis treatment. On visiting the doctor, it is recommended to take a daily regimen of warm compresses and lid scrub to clean the eyelid and reduce the build-up of bacteria. Cleaning agents which must be used include prescription eyelid cleanser(Avenova) and non-prescription eyelid cleansing pad (Ocusoft; Systane).
  • Medicated ointments or eye drops: The doctor might prescribe topical medicines like ointment or eye drop to remove excessive blepharitis causing bacteria or microbes on eyelids.

What is Blepharitis

GKB Opticals recommends that if you experience any such symptom listed above, immediately schedule an eye examination with an experienced Ophthalmologist for immediate treatment.

Visual health awareness

Eyes are precious they need care and love, that way we also need to provide ample care and love for our whole body. It is important to be aware of the problems associated with eyes and how we can help reduce the chances. Eyes help us see and perceive the world around us and it is imperative that we understand the importance of eyes and provide care for it.

In this blog we shall share many facts for the awareness of our readers. They can use this info to help themselves find better ways to tackle common eye issues and problems.

  • Sun Burn: Eyes get sun burnt too; many people do not know this fact. They spent time outside without proper protection, especially being in places that have reflective surfaces and water bodies that reflect too much light. Direct sunlight and even exposure to sunlight can seriously damage eyes and even create temporary blindness. Sun burned eyes hurt and can createseveral problems.
  • UV Exposure: Ultra violet rays are present in the sunlight. These invisible rays that originate from the sun reach the earth’s atmosphere and are majorly blocked by our Ozone layer, but a fraction of it still reaches the surface and affects our skin hair and eyes too. Many of us are unaware that UV rays affect our eyes also just like the skin. We are realty obsessed about skin problems associated with UV ray exposer but seldom do we think that these same UV rays also pass through to our eyes causing much problems. Exposure to UV rays for a prolonged period of time results in various eye problems associated with too much ultra violet rays passing through to the cornea. The most common problem associated with high UV ray exposure is the case of increasing number of Macular degeneration cases seen that highlight the fact that eyes are not safe in the presence of UV exposure. It is also true that not only Macular Degeneration, there is also pterygium, corneal problems and other eye problems that are associated with UV exposure. A good protection or precaution against this UV exposure is the use of UV protected sunglasses.
  • Cataracts: Cataracts are one of the main reasons for loss of eyesight in elderly as well as in adults. These people are affected by a lot of things; some develop cataracts due to age, some due to birthdefects and some due to UVB exposure. The UVB rays have been found liable for an increasing number of Cataract cases and the use of sunglasses with UV protection can decrease these cases to a good extent.

So, now that you are aware of the various problems associated with eyes, take proper measures to prevent eye problems.

Implantable lenses for Severe Myopic Patients

Have you been suffering from vision problems? If you have moderate or severe myopia that stops you from following everyday works. For severely myopic patients, not wearing glasses mean not being able to see at all, whatever the distance may be. Not only do severely nearsighted people rely on their glasses, but they constantly need them to see.

Many people solved their vision problem with laser eye treatments but having a thin corneas or are severely myopic  are not able to get their eyes treated with LASIK. For this purpose the popularity of Implantable lenses has been increasing. Many people are looking up to implantable lenses as the best way to achieve better eyesight. There are two types of lenses available for this procedure.

The first ones is The Verisyse Phaktic Intraocular Lens (IOL) , which is made with plastic. This lens is attached to the front of the iris. Ideal participants for the implants should be above 21 years with a stable vision and a refraction change of less than .5 diopters in six months. The ideal candidate for the IOL implantation should have a nearsightedness range from -5 diopters to -20 diopters. It is usually not foldable which means it requires a larger incision. It is also closer to the inner surface of the cornea which means it can increase the risk of corneal damage.

The second one is the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens. The concept of Implantable Lenses is made of polymer substances that are similar to collagen. These lenses are safe and effective. These lenses are made with collamer which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Unlike the IOL lenses, these lenses are implanted behind the natural lens. These lenses are implanted for patients aged 21 to 45 years and with a refraction change with less than 0.5 diopters in a year. These lenses are available in  two types, one that corrects myopia from  -3 diopters to -16 diopters and another one that reduces myopia from -16 to -20 diopters. This lens is foldable and can be inserted through a fine incision and is placed close to the eye. Since the lens sits closer to the eye it can cause cataracts.

Now, there are ways in which you can help your vision and get improved vision. But since most types of severe nearsightedness is accompanied by astigmatism but none of these lenses treat astigmatism. There are a few phakic lenses which are known to treat myopia and astigmatism both .

Sunglasses for the Round Face Shapes:

A very common face shape, round faces look great with angular designs of sunglasses. The aim here is to reduce the amount of fullness and create lines and angles on the face. Cat eye sunglasses and oversized angular sunglasses shapes go well with this face shape. Avoid wearing round sunglasses as all costs.

Sunglasses for the Heart face shapes:

The main distinctive character of a Heart face shape is a wider temple area and a thinner and narrower chin area. This makes it essential to choose a sunglass design that has less amounts of angles like round sunglasses, oversized ones or Cat eyes with soft angular designs.

Sunglasses for the Square face shapes:

Those who have square face shapes have the same width at their temple region as well as jaw, making them look kind of square and angular. The best way to make square face shapes look less square is to add sunglasses like oversized, wayfarer or cat eye sunglasses to soften the look.

Sunglasses for the Triangle face shapes:

For the triangular face shape which has a pointed narrow chin and wide temple, browline sunglasses have been considered the best , since they create an illusion of a shorter face with the sunglasses temple section forming a straight line along the wearer’s brow region.
