@flaumeye.bsky.socialMyopia is a common eye condition that affects a lot of kids. Things up close look clear to them, but their distance vision is blurry. If you’re concerned your child might have Myopia, talk to their eye doctor and see if they are up to date on their recommended screenings.
@flaumeye.bsky.socialThe Flaum Eye Institute will be closed September 7th in recognition of Labor Day. We will reopen for normal operations Tuesday September 8th.
@flaumeye.bsky.socialSeptember is recognized as Healthy Aging Month. As we age, the risk of eye disease increases. It is important to wear sunglasses outside, eat a relatively healthy diet, and stay up to date on your eye exams.
@flaumeye.bsky.socialOur final pediatric ophthalmologist is our chief of pediatrics, Dr. Alex Levin. Dr. Levin provides care to kids with pediatric anterior segment eye conditions and genetic eye conditions. He is also actively involved in researching gene therapy, rare diseases and more.
@flaumeye.bsky.socialThe next pediatric provider you should meet is Dr. Ben Hammond. He diagnoses and treats childhood glaucoma and cataracts, strabismus, among other conditions. Dr. Hammond also leads our autism vision clinic, a clinic specially designed to treat kids who live with autism.
