It's Glaucoma Awareness Month, and here's something important to know: glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, yet most people don't experience any symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Because it develops silently, you might not realize anything is wrong until vision loss is already underway.

The good news? Regular eye exams can catch glaucoma early, when treatment is most effective at preserving your sight. Don't wait for symptoms to appear—schedule your exam today and protect your vision for the long term.

Winter has us huddled indoors, glued to screens under artificial light for hours on end. Sound familiar? 💻 Your eyes feel it.

Give them a break with the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, shift your gaze to something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Dial your screen brightness to match the room, consider blue light filtering, and set up ambient lighting behind your monitor to cut down on glare.

Winter sun + snow = double the UV exposure for your eyes!

Many people don't realize that photokeratitis (corneal sunburn) is just as likely on snowy days as sunny beach days. The reflection amplifies UV damage significantly.

Quality sunglasses aren't just a summer accessory. They're essential eye protection every season. Look for lenses that block both UVA and UVB rays for complete coverage.
