· Vision may change during pregnancy, and your glasses or contacts may not seem to work as well. Your vision should return to normal after pregnancy.
· The shape of your eyes' surface may change during pregnancy, making your contact lenses not fit as well. Be prepared to use your glasses more often.
· Although pregnancy can be exhausting, always remember to take out your contacts before going to sleep.
· Tell your eye doctor about any eye medications you are using. They will discuss whether you need to continue your eye meds during pregnancy. Most eye doctors aim for minimum use, if any, during this time.
· If eye medications are required during pregnancy for infection or disease, your eye doctor will teach you a way to keep the medication only in your eye and minimize the amount reaching the rest of your body.
· If you are nursing once the baby is born, your eye doctor may continue to closely monitor your eye medications.

Tags: king devick, concusion, eye movement, screening test, focus
A vision test called the "King-Devick" or "K-D" test is based on subtle eye movements called saccades. 50% of the brains pathways are devoted to vision. A problem with the eyes' ability to track and focus, or their saccadic eye movements, suggests impairment involving brain pathways.
The K-D test has great potential as a rapid, objective screening test for concussion in athletes. It can be performed quickly on the sidelines to aid in the decision of whether they should return to play.
In the K-D test, a person reads rows of single digit numbers arranged on a page. The time it takes a person to recite the numbers following head trauma may indicate whether or not he or she suffered a concussion. In recent studies, those with concussions took an average of 6 seconds longer to complete the test.

Baush + Lomb said in a news release that they have released Crystalens iClear, a free iPhone application, to inform and amuse clients about vision, cataracts, and the Baush + Lomb Crystalens product.
This application will not only teach users more about cataract, but will enable the user to self-check their visual acuity and color vision. The Crystalens iClear iPhone app also added a game “picture hunt” and “doc finder” which will allow the user to find a Crystalens surgeon.

Glare from sun and snow is a significant contributing factor to fatal car accidents. A recent survey by Essilor revealed that 20% of eyeglass wearers sometimes drive without their prescription glasses and instead with nonprescription sunglasses. For blinding glare from sun and snow the best solution is polarized sunglasses. Essilor stated that in glare-intense situations, polarized lenses improved vision clarity by 75 percent, as opposed to regular sunglasses.
Patients should invest in prescription sunglasses, preferably polarized, for optimal vision when driving.

According to a recent study published in the Journal of Chemical Research in Toxicology, the first few puffs of cigarette smoke can cause genetic damage within minutes of inhaling them. Researchers stated it is equivalent to injecting the substance directly into the bloodstream. The cancer causers in the cigarette smoke are called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs. These began to cause damage within 15-30 minutes after smoking, demonstrating that a smoking habit can rapidly increase the risk of short term cancer.
