Tropicana Ave., Suite #153 invites parents, students and all fashionistas to check out the latest fall styles in frames and sunglasses at the Back to School Fall Fashion Trunk Show on Friday, August 20, 2010.  Featured at the event will be designer frames and sunglasses with special collections for children and teens by leading brands including Disney, X-Games, Flexon, Coach and Calvin Klein. The event runs from noon to 4:00 p.m. and is event is free and open to the public.  Shoppers will receive a gift for any Disney Princess, X-Games, Flexon Kids or Marchon tween frames purchased during the event.  

“Holding a trunk show at the end of August before school starts is the perfect time to remind parents how important it is to have their children’s vision checked regularly,” says Dr. Laura Maloney of Vision Source Southwest.  According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), 86 percent of children start school without having an eye exam.   It’s recommended that children with healthy vision have an eye exam every two years, while children with vision impairments be examined annually or as recommended by their optometrist.  According to the AOA, 25 percent of school-aged children have vision impairments and need to have eye exams at least once a year.

“Students use their vision constantly during school and if they are having problems reading the board or their books, it will affect their academic performance,” says Dr. Laura Maloney.  “This event is the perfect opportunity for parents to come in with their children to check out new frames and also to schedule an eye exam to make sure their child is ready for a successful year of school.”
