The rate of childhood myopia (nearsightedness) is

The rate of childhood myopia (nearsightedness) is on the rise, with 1 in 3 children now affected in the U.S. #ad

We all love our digital devices to help us stay connected, but unfortunately not all screen time is created equal. And too much screen time can play a negative role in your child’s eye health.

If left untreated, children with myopia may be at a significantly higher risk for serious eye-health complications as they grow. But don’t panic if you’ve resorted to screen time more than usual during the pandemic. There’s good news: early intervention is key and it makes a difference!

Treehouse Eyes is the first eye care provider dedicated exclusively to treating myopic children and one of the first organizations to adopt ACUVUE® Abiliti™ Overnight Therapeutic Lenses that are specifically designed to match your child's eye based on its unique corneal shape, to temporarily reshape the cornea. The Treehouse Vision System treatment plan is non-invasive and proven to slow or stop the progression of myopia in children.

We’re back with a new Meet a Mom spotlight. This

We’re back with a new Meet a Mom spotlight. This week we’re introducing a North Shore mom of two, freelance writer and content creator, Samantha Lande!

10 years ago @samanthalande bravely stepped out of her comfort zone, and asked one simple question that completely changed the trajectory of her career path. “When Eater Chicago launched in Chicago, I randomly reached out to the editor… boldly asking if he needed writers. He gave me a chance and I eventually became associate editor…”

In @chicagonorthshoremoms exclusive interview, Samantha Lande deep dives into the start of this new career path, what it takes to get started as a freelance writer (in case YOU’RE curious about starting) and the publications and brands she’s proud to serve.
