SUMMARY:Online Presentation: Back to Virtual School
DESCRIPTION:The following presentation is from the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan WashingtonÆ. \nBack to School Virtually? Parents Should Take Steps to Support Healthy Vision\nWashington\, D.C. ó As children\, throughout DC\, Maryland\, and Virginia prepare to begin school\, virtually\, the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington reminds parents to take simple steps to protect their children from the effects of too much screen time\, including eye strain. \nTo combat eye strain\, parents should implement the “20/20/20 rule“. Every 20 minutes\, look about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This will help reduce eye strain and allow the eyes to rest\, which is needed as children focus on their device’s screen during distance learning. The “20/20/20 rule” is recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the National Eye Institute. \nIn addition to following the “20/20/20 rule” to combat eye strain\, the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington recommends parents to encourage: \n\n30-120 minutes of outdoor time per day for children\, to slow down the progression of myopia\nReducing screen time for children outside of school hours\n\nLong periods of screen time can cause individuals to blink less frequently\, dry the cornea\, and cause irritation and discomfort.  Also\, too much concentration at near causes strain due to sustained accommodation and convergence making the eye muscles tired. \nAccording to Mohamad S. Jaafar\, M.D.\, Chief Emeritus\, Division of Ophthalmology\, Children’s National Hospital\, “While there is no question that the benefits of distance learning are vast\, extended use of digital technology can strain the eyes of children. We ask parents to limit recreational screen time when children are not in school and to encourage their children to spend time outdoors. We should motivate our children to explore the world by other means than passively through digital devices. Too much screen time hurts the brain\, in the long run.” \n“Parents must support and promote healthy vision habits in kids as schools continue with online learning\,” says Caren Forsten\, Executive Director of the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington. “Parents should encourage frequent breaks from screen viewing\,” Forsten adds. \nPOB provides free eye health information regarding eye strain and other topics to parents\, school nurses\, educators\, and school leaders. For more information\, call the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington at (202) 234-1010. \nFounded in 1936\, the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington (POB) is dedicated to the improvement and preservation of sight and quality of life by providing services and education\, and by championing healthy vision and innovation to everyone in our area. \nFor more information\, contact:\nNick Farano\nDirector of Development and Marketing\nPrevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan WashingtonÆ\n415 2nd Street N.E.\, Suite 200\, Washington\, DC 20002\n202-234-1010 ext. 224 ï youreyes.org \nIf you have any questions about the presentation\, please email Communications@YourEyes.org.

SUMMARY:Online Presentation: Healthy Aging & Your Vision
DESCRIPTION:As we age\, our bodies change – including our eyes and vision! Needing reading glasses or prescription eyewear is a common occurrence many of us experience. However\, more drastic sight loss and other problems are not a “normal” process of aging and we need to catch these problems and get them treated early to prevent permanent vision loss. \nHear from Dr. Alibhai\, a low vision specialist\, about how our eyes and vision change as we age\, eye diseases and problems to be aware of\, and what we can do to preserve our best possible sight. The speaker will also educate us about what is covered by Medicare\, the public coverage for seniors and persons with disabilities.  Take this opportunity\, celebrate “20/20”\, and take control of your eye health by learning from an expert what you need to know and can do to make sure you have the best sight you can for a lifetime! \n \nView on YouTube \nIf you have any questions about the presentation\, please email Communications@YourEyes.org. \n \nAbout the Presenter: Suleiman Alibhai\, O.D.\, is a renowned low vision specialist in the Greater Washington area. With 30 years of experience in the field\, Dr. Alibhai has aided thousands of patients in maintaining and improving their independence and quality of life. Dr. Alibhai sees patients who often have aging eye diseases\, such as age-related macular degeneration\, glaucoma and diabetic eye diseases. \nDr. Alibhai received his training in optometry at the University of Houston College of Optometry. He went on to complete a low vision fellowship at Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute. After being part of a large retina practice in the Metropolitan Washington DC area for 12 years seeing patients exclusively for low vision rehabilitation\, he developed a Low Vision Center as part of the INOVA health system in Northern Virginia\, where he served as the Director of Low Vision Services for three years.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: 19th Amendment\, War of the Roses
DESCRIPTION:Schedule Update: In compliance with the Governor’s directive to avoid large events and consideration of Alexandria City Public Schools’ schedule\, Del Ray Artisans has rescheduled this members and high school students’ exhibit from April 2020 to November 2020 and extended the invitation to enter to 2020 high school graduates. \nThe original exhibit title was 19th Amendment\, War of the Roses. Since the postponement\, the exhibit has been revised to be inclusive of current events. The new exhibit title is Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment. \nView the Call for Entry \n\n“Vote” by Drew\nCelebrating the 100-year Anniversary of the 19th Amendment\, the 19th Amendment\, War of the Roses art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans pays tribute to the rights we enjoy today because of the battle won for women’s right to vote in 1920. This amendment not only gave women the right to vote\, but also led the way to more overall equality and social reform. The exhibit features artwork by Del Ray Artisans members and local high school students. \nArtist awards will be presented by Elizabeth Bennett-Parker\, Vice Mayor of Alexandria\, in both the high school category and the members category. Special contributions towards awards provided by the Kiwanis Club of Alexandria\, Community Partner McD Mateos\, and the curators. \n“A Hooded Intellect” by Amy Kitchin Hower\nThe National American Woman Suffrage Association\, formed in 1890\, adopted the colors white\, golden yellow and purple. Symbolizing purity and hope\, golden-yellow banners were used in parades to express the spirit of the movement. Soon\, yellow roses became an emblem of the suffrage cause. In contrast\, anti-suffragists adopted red roses as their symbol. What ensued was a “War of the Roses.” Are you a “suff” or “antis“? Which color rose would you wear? – yellow or red. \nAlthough Harry T. Burn\, the youngest member of the Tennessee state legislature wore a red rose on his lapel\, his surprising “yea” vote on August 18\, 1920\, allowed the passing and ratification of the 19th Amendment\, which guaranteed women the right to vote\, and moved millions of women closer to equality. “Do the right thing” his mother urged him. Harry stands on the right side of history because he did the “right thing.” Ever wonder what life would be like if Harry Burn had voted ‘nay’ to women’s rights? \nFor more information\, please contact the curators Amy Kitchin Hower (alkitchin.dc@gmail.com)\, Karen Schmitz (kschmitzart@gmail.com)\, and Drew Cariaso (druamaart@comcast.net).
