Summer is a busy time for families. Between vacations, sports camps, and outdoor activities, schedules can quickly fill up. But one important task that often gets overlooked is scheduling your child’s eye exam before the new school year begins.

As the weather warms up and flowers begin to bloom, many people start experiencing seasonal allergy symptoms. While sneezing and congestion often get the most attention, allergies can also have a significant impact on your eyes. If you’ve noticed itchy, watery, or irritated eyes during the spring months, seasonal allergies may be the cause.

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your look and this year’s eyewear trends blend personality, comfort, and modern styling. Whether you’re into subtle sophistication or bold, artistic expression, 2025 has something for everyone.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve, potentially leading to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma may not cause noticeable symptoms until significant nerve damage has occurred, which is why regular eye exams are so important.

Winter often brings increased eye irritation, but the causes are more than just chilly weather. Dry indoor heat, long hours at screens, and seasonal allergies can all disrupt your tear film and make your eyes feel gritty, itchy, or tired. When your tears evaporate too quickly or fail to protect the surface of your eyes, that’s what we call dry eye, a very common condition that worsens in colder months.

A new year is the perfect opportunity to set healthy habits, and caring for your eyes should be part of that plan. Booking your annual eye exam early ensures you start the year with clear vision and peace of mind.

As the year winds down, many people still have money left in their Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA). In most cases, those dollars don’t carry over into the new year—meaning you could lose them if you don’t act. The good news is, there are several practical ways to invest those funds in your vision and eye health.

Halloween is a time for spooky fun, creative costumes, and plenty of candy—but don’t forget about your eyes while celebrating. From costume contacts to face paint and masks, some holiday traditions can pose risks if you’re not careful. Here are a few easy tips to help you keep your vision safe while enjoying the festivities.

As we move into fall, the air gets cooler, the light fades earlier—and your eyes may start to notice the shift, too. At Today’s Vision Richmond, we want to help you stay ahead of seasonal changes that could affect your eye comfort and health.

As a parent, you want to give your child every advantage possible—especially when it comes to school success. While backpacks and school supplies are essential, there’s one item often overlooked: a thorough eye exam.
