It's that time of year again... Did you know that 40% of school-age children need glasses? Do yours?

Chances are that your child/children do, at least according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology.  “When Gen Xers were young in the '70s, about 20% of children in the United States needed glasses. Now that number has inched closer to 40%", said Dr. David Epley, a clinical spokesman for the Academy. Given the abundance of time children have spent in front of screens the past few years during the lockdown that statistic makes sense. Besides your child focusing on a small screen, most of their screen activity takes place indoors. Conversely, recent studies show that natural sunlight appears to stabilize vision—even if your child has a lot of screen time. So, the combination of screen time and lack of sunlight can have a real impact on your child’s vision.

Given all those factors there’s no better time than the present to get your child’s vision checked, whether your child is new to glasses or needs an upgrade to their existing pair. To that end, CPS Optix is holding a Back to School special during the month of August.  Starting August 1 and running through September 1, you buy one pair of glasses for $49 and two pairs for $89—a backup pair for kids is always a good idea! Those prices include frames, poly lenses and warranty.  If you can’t make it to our convenient Warwick location at 200 Toll Gate Rd, Suite 202, you can set up a mobile appointment where we come to you.

 Phil Cheryl De B My wife went here to get her prescription filled, and Curtis was so helpful fixing the error in her prescription. that I went to get a better pair of glasses for use on my computer only to find out I needed glasses for reading and night driving. I was using over the counter magnifier only. We both ended up getting readers, distance, and sunglasses.
