Reduce Digital Eye Strain
A high percentage of those using computers in the workplace may experience headaches, burning or tired eyes, trouble focusing back out at a distance, or overall fatigue at the end of the day. Eye-related problems from extended periods of computer use and viewing video display terminals are very common. Doctor Tarr offers the most up-to-date solutions for computer vision syndrome. Ask how computer work can become much easier and more comfortable at your next eye examination.
Eyewear for color blindness
At Tarr Eye & Vision Center, we proudly offer glasses for color deficiency to help bring color back into your life. Recent developments in science and technology have allowed these revolutionary glasses to improve the lives of people with color deficiency worldwide.
Will Color Blind Glasses Work For Me?
At Tarr Eye & Vision, we offer some of the most popular prescription and non-prescription styles of color blind glasses to find something that works for you. Many wearers have reported an improvement in color perception while wearing our color blind glasses, but we’d love for you to see for yourself.
The effect of color blind glasses can be different for everyone, so we encourage you to schedule an appointment to determine your candidacy. Color blind glasses do not cure color blindness, but they can bring back some vibrancy to your life.
If you have a color deficiency, we would love to evaluate your eyes to see if color blind glasses will work for you. If you’d like to come and test out a pair, please give us a call ahead of time to optimize your experience.
UV protection eyewear
Wearing sunglasses with proper UV protection is just as important as wearing sunscreen when enjoying the sunshine.
To avoid the early development of eye disease, sunglasses should be worn to protect your eyes in all seasons. Sunlight reflected off sand, water, and snow can be extremely damaging, causing a condition called photokeratitis.
Prolonged exposure to UV can be damaging to your eyes. UV radiation from the sun can damage the eye’s surface tissues, cornea, and lens, increasing your risk for vision loss. However, wearing UV-blocking sunglasses will significantly lower your risk of permanent damage and vision loss.
Excess sun exposure can increase your risk of developing:
- Eye cancer
- Cataracts
- Sunburned eyes
- Growths on or near the eye
sports eyewear
Eyewear You Can Count On To Keep You Safe
Different types of sports and activities have different levels of risk. In the US, nearly 30,000 eye injuries treated in emergency rooms are sports-related. However, 90% of all serious eye injuries could be prevented by wearing appropriate protective eyewear.
Regular eyeglasses do not provide proper protection and can, in some cases, make an injury worse if they shatter. One study found that basketball was the leading cause of sports-related eye injuries in the US, followed by baseball, softball, airsoft rifles, pellet guns, racquetball, and hockey.
Optical Care and Service
In-House Process & Repair
Making an individual pair of glasses requires steps that are traditionally done by hand today to ensure quality. While certain insurance companies require us to use their laboratory for processing your lenses, when we choose, we use only the highest quality laboratories. We also have an in-house lab for certain repairs for quicker turn-around time.
