🕶️☀️ National Sunglasses Day is June 27! ☀️🕶️

Living on beautiful Island means we're lucky to enjoy sunny beach walks, bike rides along Shoreline, afternoons at Crab Cove, and all the outdoor fun our island has to offer. 🌊🚲🌴

But here's something many people don't realize...

👀 Your eyes need UV protection just as much as your skin!

Wearing sunglasses that block 100% of UVA & UVB rays helps protect your eyes from harmful sun exposure and may reduce your risk of:
☀️ Cataracts
☀️ Macular degeneration
☀️ Photokeratitis (a "sunburn" of the eyes!)
☀️ Long-term UV damage

😎 Bonus Tip: Bigger lenses or wraparound styles provide even more protection by blocking sunlight from the sides.

Whether you're walking your pup, watching the kids at the park, grabbing coffee at The Beanery, or heading to the beach, don't forget your shades!

💙 Stop by Alameda Optometric Group and let us help you find sunglasses that protect your vision and match your style. Prescription and non-prescription options are available!

What's your favorite sunny spot here on Alameda Island? 🌞🏖️

🌊 Alameda parents — living on our little island means we’re always looking out for our community and our kids. 💙

👀 Has your child’s prescription been changing every year?
Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming more common in children, especially between ages 6–12, and it can progress quickly without early management.

The good news? 📉 There are treatment options that may help slow down myopia progression and support your child’s long-term eye health.

From classroom learning to baseball at Washington Park and sunny beach days at Crab Cove 🌞 — clear vision matters for every part of growing up here in Alameda.

Ask us about myopia control options like MiSight® and other treatments designed for kids. Early treatment matters more than later correction. 🧒✨

📞 Call us to schedule a myopia evaluation

👀 Is your child’s prescription getting stronger every year?

You’re not alone. Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming more common in kids — and it often worsens as they grow.

The good news? Early intervention can help slow progression and support healthier vision long-term. 🧠✨

Many parents don’t realize there are options beyond just updating glasses year after year.

If your child is squinting, sitting closer to screens, or needing stronger prescriptions frequently, it may be time to ask about myopia management options.

📞 Our team is happy to answer questions and help determine if your child is a good candidate.
