If I have to be open and honest (and I will be here) I am a bit of a hypochondriac. Nothing too severe but I am definitely an over-thinker and worrier when it comes to major illnesses or health concerns. Recently I read up on multiple sclerosis or as it is commonly abbreviated, MS. I had heard about MS before in the media and just from being intrigued by the world of medicine and healthcare, but I didn’t really understand the disease until I looked further.
After some research I found a connection with MS and eye health. Vision symptoms such as blurry vision, complete loss of vision in one or both of the eyes, or pain during eye movement are connected to MS. Other symptoms I found are fatigue, numbness in the face and body limbs, walking/coordination problems, sexual dysfunction, cognitive problems, bladder and bowel problems, spasticity or muscle stiffness and involuntary movements. Someone with MS could have many of these symptoms or just a few which makes diagnosing the disease very difficult.
Looking deeper into eye health and MS, I found that optic neuritis can be one of the first presenting symptoms of MS and it is an inflammation of the optic nerve. Optic neuritis typically affects one eye and the loss of vision may develop over a period of days to weeks which can be very scary. A Dr. Tavel optometrist in Indianapolis or at one of our other Indiana vision centers can help detect symptoms such as optic neuritis as well as double vision or nystagmus. Nystagmus is the involuntary rhythmically repeated oscillations in one or both eyes in any or all fields of gaze. By performing a routine eye examination, optometrists can decipher if symptoms such as these may be related to MS or other diseases.
MS affects the body’s central nervous system as communication between nerves is interrupted resulting in these varying symptoms mentioned above. MS should be on my radar as a 20-something as adults between the ages of 20-40 typically are diagnosed with the disease although children and teens can suffer too. My findings from my research just go to show me how truly vital it is to get a yearly eye examination for not only my visual health but my overall health!
August is not only Back-To-School month but Cataract Awareness month. Prevent Blindness America, the nation’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization, declared August to be Cataract Awareness month teaming up with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to better educate American’s about cataracts and to teach adults and children alike how to protect themselves and their vision from overexposure to the sun.
August, typically the hottest month of the year, is a time for last summer vacations to take place and days at the pool before kids gear up for another school year. Protecting your eyes and skin is ever important this month as it is all year long. A report from the EPA found that cataracts can be avoided through environmental protection efforts, specifically with reducing ozone layer depletion.
Cataracts are the clouding of the eye’s natural lens as the proteins in the lens as we age can clump together and cause the lens to cloud and vision to become difficult. Overexposure to the sun can cause cataracts so that wearing sunglasses and wide-brim hats when outside is vital to protect your vision.
Twenty million American’s age 40 and older have cataracts and currently cataracts are the leading cause of blindness around the world. Symptoms can vary per patient so that the best way to protect yourself is to visit your eye care doctor if your vision has become cloudy or blurry or light from the sun or headlights seem too bright or glaring.
Protect your eyes and yourself today and tell someone you know about the danger of overexposure to the sun and cataracts.
In an optical world, wearing sunglasses is a no brainer like wearing sunscreen is a must-do for a dermatologist. But frequently adults and children alike don’t wear sunglasses when outside (on sunny or cloudy days) and are damaging their eyes and vision. Ultraviolet rays (UV) from the sun’s prolonged exposure on your eyes can lead to vision loss and blindness just like the sun can lead to skin damage, wrinkles and skin cancer. Everyone is at risk for eye damage from the sun and should always wear sunglasses to protect their vision. Sunglasses serve as sunscreen for your eyes.
Thinkaboutyoureyes.com states that 3.2 million people go blind each year from eye conditions due to prolonged sun exposure. So many people are unfortunately missing out on seeing the little miracles of life when their vision loss could have been prevented by simply wearing sunglasses when outdoors.
Lenses that block 100% UV light will protect your vision and will also absorb the most high energy visible radiation (HEV) light or blue-light which can cause retinal damage. Sunglass
lenses can be any color to block for harmful UV rays although to block for both UV and HEV, lenses should ideally be bronze, copper or reddish brown. Wrap-around styles suit best for the upmost vision protection from UV rays.
Sunglasses should simply be a must item for adults and children when going outdoors for any kind of activity. You don’t have to lose out on style to obtain quality vision protection as their is a "look" for everyone.
Check out these sunglass styles and be sure to put on your shades when outside!
The Indiana State Fair has much to offer visiting Hoosiers with its food, concerts, and rides. This year the fair also has important information about your health and diabetes. Diabetes, often times called the silent killer as its symptoms can seem harmless or not life threatening, affects 23.6 million American adults and children or 7.8% of the population-many of those affected living right here in Indiana. Diabetes occurs when someone has high blood sugar and is unable to produce enough insulin to cope with the high sugar levels or cells do not respond to insulin provided.
Diabetes is a serious problem here in the Hoosier state and across America. One serious symptom specific to Type 2 diabetes, adult onset diabetes, is blurred vision. Those with blurred vision may attribute impaired vision to increased age and hold off on getting an eye exam. Don’t. Diabetes can be detected through an eye exam by a Dr. Tavel eye care doctor as well as cataracts and glaucoma-two vision diseases diabetics have a higher chance of getting.
The Indiana State Fair sees the importance of assessing Hoosiers for diabetes and its symptoms. Each day in the Clarian Health Zone free diabetes risk assessments will be offered from 9am-7pm. Getting these assessments can help decipher your health related to diabetes. It is imperative that symptoms such as blurred vision are taken seriously especially with the possibility of diabetes.
Diabetics should have regular eye examinations to help manage symptoms and preserve their eye sight. If you have experienced blurred vision or have a family history for diabetes, it is important to visit a vision eye center. Make an appointment with a Dr. Tavel eye care doctor at any of our 20 locations and assess your health risks today for diabetes.
Contact lenses-a harmful medical device? Apparently so according to a study released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last week, contact lenses topped the list of medical devices causing injuries to children. About 34,000 eye problems related to contacts were reported in the study which said 70,000 children go to emergency rooms each year from injuries and complications from medical devices.
Contact lenses, placed directly on the eye, were reported to cause infections and eye abrasions in children coming into the emergency room. Injuries such as these are usually preventable with correct contact lens wear and compliance. Contact lenses are overwhelmingly popular with younger crowds as they don’t make a sometimes dramatic fashion statement like glasses can.
Complying with contact lens wear is one of the ways injuries like those reported can be omitted. Routinely cleaning lenses and not wearing them for prolonged periods of time reduces any risk for injury but sometimes tasks like these prove difficult for young contact wearers. Allaboutvision.com offers a handy guide for contact basics and how to take care of your eyes when wearing contact lenses.
Children though may do best with daily disposable lenses that are easier to maintain as cleaning lenses is removed from their routine. Lenses like these however cannot be worn for extended periods of time and must be thrown away. Talking with your eye care doctor about lifestyle and expectations for your contact lenses can help choose which type is best for you and leave you injury free!
School buses will start making their daily stops very soon here in Indiana as school doors open and summer officially ends. For many students in Indianapolis school begins the second week of August and for many others like those in Anderson, Bloomington or Columbus, Indiana school will start shortly afterwards.
As backpacks are being brought out of their summer vacation spots and dusted off or newly purchased, many school supplies are being purchased to use for the long days of studying ahead. Sports practices have begun which typically coincide with routine physicals to ensure student athletes are healthy to participate. But what about the health of students eyes and routine eye exams?
Overlooked at times in this rush for back-to-school, vision eye centers and eye examinations
should top the list for returning students as they prepare to hit the books and playgrounds for the school year. Their eyes will need to be able to focus on academic material on the chalk board, text book, or computer screen.
A children’s eye exam can help detect if glasses or contacts are needed for reading or even prolonged use of a computer screen. Nearly 1 in 4 students has a vision problem that could hinder their performance in school. Vision problems can be detected by a member of Dr. Tavel’s team of eyecare doctors during a children’s eye exam and fixed with glasses or contacts.
Find a Dr. Tavel location near your school and make sure your student’s supply of sight is ready for school to begin!
Summer has flown by and school bells will be ringing soon across the country as students,

Aviators have landed! Aviator sunglasses are quite the frequent flyers among sunglass wearers today and have been since their creation despite their design being 73 years old this year. The teardrop slanted sunglasses were first created by Ray-Ban in 1937 issued for U.S. military aviators and other personnel to help reduce glare in the air and on the ground. 
Today, aviator sunglass are still issued to military pilots and worn by military personnel, yet their design increasingly flies high with the general public as these shades appeal to a wide-range of sunglass wearers. Men and women, young and old alike are seen in the media, in sports arenas, at concerts, in shopping malls, you name it, wearing aviators.
Loved by youth since the 1960s, aviators give a “cool” look when worn as they shade the eyes with their teardrop design and today come in a variety of lens and frame colors. Movies like “Top Gun” spurred the popularity of these sunglasses among men and women in the 1980s and in the 2000s aviators have taken on new meaning in the fashion industry. Versatile in appeal, aviators add a distinct look to any outfit for their wearer. Celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Brittany Spears, and Lenny Kravitz all have been spotted with these shades on. Besides being a fashion staple, aviators are a fan favorite among sports enthusiasts as their wrap style covers the face and blocks harmful UV-rays omitted by the sun.
Dr. Tavel is sporting these popular shades this summer with a number of styles and brands 
available to any eye wear patient. You can fly high by wearing Dr. Tavel aviator sunglasses to ensure your eyes are covered with UV-blocking lenses that can be made in any color (even metallic/mirrored), fit any prescription and made with any material at any Dr. Tavel location.
This trend of aviator sunglasses continues to fly high in the sky among pilots as well as any sunglasses wearer. Is that you? Cover your eyes with the most popular sunglass style of all time!
Cookouts, parades, fireworks, candy, and sparklers: all things related to the 4th of July, Independence Day, which will be celebrated by Americans this weekend. A fun holiday celebrating America’s long-time Independence and freedom can often be the most dangerous for children and adults alike. Many celebrations include fireworks, which can ignite unexpectedly or leave harmful remnants on the ground that are too enticing for children to pick up, causing serious injuries. According to a report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2008, 5,000 Americans went to the emergency room during the July 4th holiday with 1,000 of these injuries being eye injuries. Eye injuries included lacerations, contusions, debris in the eyes and burns.
Injuries like these and others can be prevented this weekend by attending firework displays conducted only by professionals and creating fun yet safe events for your family surrounding the holiday. Prevent Blindness America, the nation’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization, offers these tips to parents wanting to ensure a safer 4th of July holiday for their children:
• Make 4th of July rockets by using paper towel rolls, paint, streamers and paper cement.
• Make your own firecracker sounds by popping bubble wrap.
• Purchase non-toxic glo-sticks, glo-ropes and glo-jewelry that can safely light the night for kids.
• Have children design and decorate their own t-shirts and hats using glow in the dark paints. Add puffy paints and glitter to make them sparkle.
• Create your own noisemakers by banging wooden spoons on pots and pans. Search your house for horns, whistles and bells and other items to create a marching band.
If you do choose to ignite fireworks yourself this weekend, wear your glasses to protect your eyes. Specifically shatter resistant polycarbonate lenses or trivex lenses will protect eyes from harmful sparks or objects that can be created from lighting fireworks. Lenses such as these are perfect for children and active adults. To see if these lenses would work for you or a family member visit one of our eye care doctors at any of our 20 locations in Indiana.
Remember your eye wear this weekend whether it is goggles for the pool, sunglasses for outside or glasses for igniting fireworks, protecting your eyes is just as important as protecting your skin.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July from Dr. Tavel!
School has been let out for the summer and if the month of July is anything like the month of June in Indiana we can expect HOT days and stormy nights. Summer days for many kids are full of afternoons at the pool, playing outside, playing video games, and watching movies. Days full of fun!
But too much fun can have harmful effects such as sunburn, cuts and bruises, and from inside play like with video or computer games possible eye strain. Video games are definitely a crowd pleaser among kids as they are typically interactive, molded to a player’s preferences, skill based, and can spark the imagination to a fantasy world by just the click of a button. Too much “screen” time though can cause eye strain which can be induced by poor posture and lighting in a room as well as the extended time staring at a screen.
Eye strain according to ehow.com includes symptoms such as eye dryness, sore or itchy sensations, sensitivity to light, and blurred or double vision. Children and adults alike are prone to symptoms such as these from staring at TV or computer screens for long periods of time, yet children’s increasingly excessive screen time use (peaking in the summer months) makes them much more prone to this kind of eye strain. The recommended screen time use specifically for video games is one hour with breaks within the hour to avert eyes away from the screen to focus on something else. Taking these breaks will help reduce eye strain symptoms and possibly eye strain all together.
Best cures for eye strain? Get up and go outside! If inside, board games, books, arts and crafts can keep kids occupied with less focus on screens that cause the eye strain. Visit an eye center. By visiting an eye care doctor and getting an eye examination, eye strain can be reduced if glasses or contacts are needed and eyes can be checked to ensure proper sight for future video games and the other fun activities summer brings. Also coming in for an eye exam this month ensures that once school begins again your student not only see’s properly at home with homework and fun video games but inside the classroom.
Recently, one of my good friends came down with Pink Eye. When most people think of Pink Eye, they think of young children at school, spreading this contagious disease to one another as they don't wash their hands often enough. The reality is that adults can contract this as well and some of the most likely adult candidates are contact lens wearers.
Why are contact lens wearers more vulnerable to pink eye and what was likely the primary cause of my friend getting pink eye? Poor hygiene in the handling of contact lenses and contact lens cases can contribute mightily to infections of this sort. My friend has a very bad habit of not changing or cleaning her premium contact lenses for months at a time.
So, when she went to get an eye examination with one of our Indianapolis eye doctors, she was told to throw away her contacts, replace her contact lens case and wear her eyeglasses for a few days to help alleviate the symptoms. The problem was that when she put her glasses on, they had a 3 year old prescription in them that was off substantially and her vision was impaired. Since she wears contact lenses all the time, she saw very little need to have an updated pair of glasses. Needless to say, she came back in to one of our Indianapolis locations and ordered a new pair of glasses.
Two morals to this story: (1) contact lens wearers need to follow the guidelines of their wear schedule so as to have the best eye health and (2) even those patients who wear contacts 24/7 have a need to have a back-up pair of glasses.
My 5 year old son had his final soccer game of the season last Saturday in Indianapolis. It was a great game and actually went to a shoot out at the end to decide the game. Okay, these are 5 and 6 year olds so there was no goalie and they basically had to kick the ball straight into the goal from 30 yards away, but nonetheless it was pretty exciting. Our team lost, but as with any youth soccer game the focus was more about getting their medals and what the snack of the week was.
It was a great fall day in Indiana and I got some sun, which is rare for early November. It got me thinking about how most people are unaware that extended exposure to the same harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays that affect their skin can also harm their eyes. While outside on Saturday, all of the children's eyes were exposed to the sun's rays. Some of the parents on the sidelines had sunglasses on, while others were wearing hats, which are both helpful in blocking UV rays from reaching the eyes. When I am outside, I typically wear contact lenses that block UV rays and I also wear polarized sunglasses, which are great for absorbing and blocking UV rays, while also reducing glare from the sun.
The next time you and your children are playing outside, stay focused on the health of your eyes by wearing sunglasses, brimmed hats or premium contact lenses with UV blocking. If you don't have these items available, make sure you go to your Indianapolis Optometrist, Eye Doctor or a local vision eye center.
When I used to think of Transitions lenses, I would think of a kid I went to elementary school with. Whenever he would come back in from recess, it would take FOREVER for his glasses to go from dark to light again. On top of that, his lenses would never fully go back to a clear state. He always seemed a bit frustrated with his lenses and it made a lasting impression upon me, that I haven't been able to truly shake until now.
The Transition lenses of today are much more efficient. They adjust very well to lighting conditions, going from clear indoors to sunglass-dark outdoors. These lenses are great in that they change much quicker than they used to and the lenses will get very clear inside. The nice part about Transition lenses is that they also help reduce eye strain and fatigue as you don't have to squint so much once you walk outside into the sun.
I recommend that anyone who intends to buy eye glasses, and doesn't want to buy an additional pair of prescription sunglasses, give Transitions lenses a test drive. You will be surprised at how convenient these lenses are and how comfortable they are for your lifestyle (assuming you go outside!). The next time you see your Indianapolis eye doctor, ask him or her their opinion on Transition lenses and you will likely find that the best eye doctors recommend them.
I was reading the latest issue of Eyecare Business magazine and they had some great statistics regarding children's vision.
- 23 million children have vision problems
- 95% of vision issues can be corrected if detected and treated early
- 7 - 12% of children have eye problems that may lead to permanent loss of vision if not detected and treated in time
- 2.4 million (or 10.5% of) children between the ages of zero and four are affected
- 86% don't have eyes examined before first grade
- Only 14% have their eyes examined before age 18
-- Source: PediaVision
Of all the statistics, the last one was the most surprising. As a family eye care practice, Dr. Tavel sees thousands of children every year for eye examinations, glasses and lenses and contact lenses. One of our primary goals is to educate families that they need to see an eye care doctor on an annual basis, even if you do not need to buy eye glasses. Looks like we need to continue spreading the word based on that last statistic...
Simply put, Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a condition caused by the prolonged focusing of the eyes on a computer display. Symptoms can include eye strain, fatigue and difficulty refocusing the eyes. This is an increasing problem for children as the use of computers by children has increased dramatically over the years. The increased usage of computers causes children to focus and strain their eyes a lot more than other tasks. Whereas years ago children would use their near vision to focus on the papers at their desk and their distance vision for focusing on the blackboard, school age kids today spend much more time focusing on their computers in front of them.
While there isn't a study that can directly prove a cause and effect of increased computer use to early myopia, there is some corollary data to consider. Since 1995, the percent of first graders with myopia has almost doubled.
Given the change in our computer usage patterns over the years, it is important to understand these factors and how critical it is to monitor them. This is one reason that it is absolutely imperative that children have an annual comprehensive eye examination by a certified optometrist. These tests should include near-point and distance examining. A second key is to ask your Eye Care Doctor about computer eyeglasses that can help to reduce vision problems and eye fatigue. Lastly, make sure any computer that your child is using is positioned for a child and not an adult. The recommended distance between the monitor and the eyes of children should be 18 - 28 inches.
Many people have a correctable vision problem known as
Myopia or "nearsightedness." This means that an individual is able to see things up close, like the newspaper or a book, while
distant objects appear to be blurred or out of focus.
Detection of this issue may seem to be pretty easy without having an eye examination, but to correct it will require glasses and lenses (or contact lenses) customized for your eyes specifically.
Living with an uncorrected problem like Myopia will prove itself to be quite uncomfortable.
Constantly squinting in an effort to see far objects causes eye strain and tired eyes which can lead to headaches. It's very important to pay close attention to your eye care.
What's even more important is to consider the whole family, children most particularly. Kids often are not aware that inability to see the chalkboard at school is a problem or that a headache can be a result of needing glasses. It has been proven by several institutions that
undetected vision problems in children can significantly hinder their performance in school.
At Dr. Tavel there are huge savings available this month applicable to your yearly check-up or for back to school check ups. ($100 off frames, Free kids Lenses, 30 pairs of premium contact lenses for only $15, and many more

Back to school means lots of new and exciting things for kids and parents! New backpacks, new clothes, new spelling words, new friends, all sorts of things.
But, being around lots of kids all day long can also mean new bacteria...not so exciting. In classroom or daycare environments the spread of bacteria or infection can happen very quickly.
That said, here are a few tips for Pink Eye Prevention this school year:
-Children and Adults should wash their hands often using anti-bacterial soap.
-Don't share hand towels, science goggles, or personal items with other students.
If a child or adult has been exposed to Pink Eye take the following steps to help prevent spreading the infection:
-Avoid rubbing itchy eyes, as this spreads the bacteria to the hand, and then to whatever the hand touches.
-Do not wear contact lenses. Even premium contact lenses with aqua comfort can cause further irritation to an infected eye.
- Stay home! Placing a child or adult into a crowded environment is a very easy way to introduce Pink Eye to a large group of people. It is recommended that people diagnosed with Pink eye stay at home for 3 - 5 days.
-Use anti-bacterial wipes and sprays to wipe down any common areas that may have been touched by an infected person.
Of course, it is always in your best interest to visit they eye care doctors at Dr. Tavel and have an eye examination if you suspect you or your child may have Pink Eye. Better safe than sorry I always say.
This weekend brings the 16th running of the
Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. Having been to the race and to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a few other races, including the Indy 500, I have many fond memories of the Speedway and the event. One of my favorite memories is going there with a college friend of mine and selling earplugs. With the noise of the cars at such high decibels, most people attending the race need earplugs for protection. This was pretty obvious and we made quite a bit of money selling these (it seemed like a lot of money to a couple of broke college kids, anyway).
Between earplugs and suntan lotion, there is a lot of focus on protecting various body parts, such as the ears and the skin. What amazes me is that there isn't as much of a focus on protecting the eyes. Yes, there are plenty of sunglasses at the Speedway, but most people don't understand the need for UV protection as it relates to the eyes. UV radiation can damage the skin of the eyelids, the outer part of the eye and can also contribute to the development of certain types of cataracts. This can be very dangerous to your eye care so make sure when you purchase sunglasses that you purchase those with UV protection details on the label. The best eye glasses to wear in the sun are polarized sunglasses with UV protection. Not only are you protecting your eyes from dangerous UV rays, but you are reducing glare for better visual quality. Enjoy the race and keep in mind that you need to protect ALL parts of your body while out in the sun.
My 5 year old son Christian is about to start kindergarten in the next month so I decided to have one of our eye care doctors give him an eye examination. Going by the American Optometric Associations guidelines, it was definitely time (they recommend a children's eye exam at 6 months, again at age 3 and then again at age 5 or 6 before kindergarten). The last time he had an exam, he was a bit apprehensive. Not this time; he loved it. It doesn't hurt that he was examined by one of the best eye doctors in Indianapolis who has a great knack for working with kids. The best part about the exam for Christian was when the doctor had him put on the 3 D glasses to test for depth perception. According to my son, that was "so awesome".
The biggest misconception among most parents is that the vision screening done at school is sufficient to determine if their child has vision problems. Vision screenings are great at detecting major vision deficiencies. However, a child can pass this test at school and still have vision problems that will impact their learning ability. In addition to this, vision screenings only test for visual acuity. The optometrists at Dr. Tavel perform a comprehensive children's eye exam that will evaluate eye health, which is equally important. So be sure to have an Indiana Eye Doctor examine your child's eyes at a qualified Vision Eye Center.
