Dr. Bladh, O.D. Optometry Inc.

Over the past several years our eye doctors at Dr. Taylor Bladh, O.D. have been getting more and more questions about how this blue-light exposures is effecting ourselves and more importantly our children. Blue-Light is emitted from our phones, tablets, computers, etc. The simple answer our optometrists could give was "We don't know" there was just not enough information available, but now there is. I'm sure you've seen people wandering aimlessly trying to capture a weak little Rattata on their Pokemon Go App . Anyone know if there's a gym or PokeStop around Diamond Bar High School ? The main point I'm trying to make is that we are surrounded by these devices. For better or for worse, they are apart of our lives and it would be best for us to at least learn how we can protect ourselves for this recent exposure.   Over the last several months there have been scientific studies completed that show a direct correlation to some of the many eye...

Did you know that thousands of Americans spend part of their Fourth of July in the emergency room because of eye related injuries caused by fireworks? Watching the Diamond Bar 4th of July Blast at DBHS will help you avoid that, but don't tell this to JPP, he knows all too well the dangers of these pyrotechnics . These fun shows of display can be exciting when handled by trained professionals, but if you are going to light these small pieces of dynamite for yourself, please exercise caution while doing it.  The majority of the injuries were reported from bystanders, and 40% of those were actually children under the age of 15. Firework related eye injuries can cause blindness and surprise, surprise, July is Firework Safety Month (who comes up with these things). If you are going to light your own fireworks and explore that adventurous side please be safe this holiday season! We want to see you healthy again for your next visit! Happy 4th everyone.
