Optical Forum Flipbook Issue 14 News And Editor’s Perspective

April is Sports Eye Safety Month to spread awareness about the importance of wearing appropriate eye protection when engaging in sports activities. Technically any given sports activity involves physical exertion and skills for competition and entertainment. E-Sports are on the rise as new electronic sports in the virtual world where competition and entertainment are involved and where the risk of getting eye injury is relevant for both people competing and spectators. From there the importance of wearing appropriate eye protection against the radiation from digital devices employed to get involved in e-sports is becoming relevant. Extra vigilance is required for kids whose vision has still not completely developed. 

At Optical Forum and during April we created new original content on daily basis. The topics we wrote are inspired by problems and issues we face in the practice on daily basis. We hope that those experiences will help eye care professionals and invite them to comment and share their experiences with us and the community. 

We’ve also put together Issue 14 with the support and help of the Optical Forum Editorial Board. We are forever thankful for everyone who volunteered to create and review the content of this issue.
