UV rays don’t take a break just because it’s cloudy. They can still sneak through and affect your eyes. 🌤️

Sunglasses do more than reduce glare. They protect delicate eye structures and help keep your vision healthy over time.

Grab your shades today. Your eyes will thank you later!

If dry eye feels like a constant struggle and over-the-counter drops aren’t providing enough relief, it may be time to look beyond traditional solutions.

At Dr. Chris Schell’s practice, we offer advanced dry eye treatments such as IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy, which works at the eyelid margins to support healthy tear production and improve comfort.

Ask us how this simple, in-office treatment could help you experience lasting dry eye relief and better day-to-day comfort.

February shines a spotlight on age-related macular degeneration (AMD), one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults over 50. AMD often develops slowly and without early symptoms, which makes regular eye exams incredibly important.

If you or a loved one has a family history of AMD or if you have noticed changes in your central vision, this is a great time to get checked.

Early detection gives you the best chance to protect your sight. 💛
