He is wearing a button-up blue and white short sleeve shirt over a light blue t-shirt.\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\"><br>\nSummer break is a great time to schedule annual eye exams for you and the kids. Yearly eye exams are recommended for all ages, even if you believe you have good vision. Adult eye exams can help reduce eye strain from any possible vision changes, as well as help detect eye disease. Children are often unaware of vision changes, therefore consistent annual exams will help monitor your children\u2019s vision and keep their prescriptions updated. Make sure to order everyone a brand new pair of Zennis so they arrive in time for those back to school photos!<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author: Dr. Mori Ahi, O.D.<\/h3>\n<p><em>Dr. Mori has over 10 years of experience in eye care.
