Eye colour is very difficult to predict. In fact, even if both parents have blue eyes they may still have a child with brown eyes.

Greetings!
Thanks for all your feedback on our new e-newsletters. It sounds like we are hitting the mark as far as providing you with interesting and relevant topics in eye care.
This month we have some new information for you on macular degeneration, and our newest optometrist, Dr. Carla Bunn, provides her perspective on the meaning of "comprehensive eye care".

When is sunlight most damaging to your eyes? It's not what you think |
We are told to limit our UV exposure and risk for sunburn by avoiding the hours when the sun is strongest - from 10:00am to 2:00pm. Therefore, these hours are also when our eyes are most at risk from UV damage, true or false?

What exactly is a "comprehensive eye exam"? |
 | | Dr. Carla Bunn |
Comprehensive. A simple word: one that might seem intuitive, without need for much explanation. Yet I find that this single word seems to be one of the most confusing terms used in Optometric practice, despite the fact that we in the eye care industry use it on a routine basis. At Mountain View Optometry we strongly believe in the value of regular comprehensive eye exams.
What, exactly, does 'comprehensive' mean? In my mind, there are 5 components that must be addressed for an eye exam to qualify as 'comprehensive'.

New study revises nutrition guidelines for a common eye disease |
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of our main concerns as eye doctors. It's the most common form of vision loss affecting people over age 65, and is now considered the leading cause of blindness. It targets the central retina, or macular area, and while all cases do not necessarily progress to blindness, usually the longer one has the condition the worse the outcome. New treatments aimed at the more severe form ("wet" AMD) have been successful at limiting the extent of the vision loss, but the question I frequently get asked is whether there is any treatment for the "dry" or early stages of the disease.
Last month the long-awaited AREDS 2 study was published.
