Don’t let dry winter air leave your eyes feeling scratchy and irritated—be proactive with our winter eye care tips:

Stay Hydrated: Winter air can be dry, so drink plenty of water to keep your body and eyes hydrated. Use a humidifier at home to add moisture to indoor air and prevent dry eyes.

Protect Your Eyes from UV Rays: Even in winter, the sun’s UV can be harmful, especially with snow glare. Wear sunglasses with UV protection anytime you’re outdoors.

Combat Indoor Heat Dryness: Heating systems can dry out your eyes. Use artificial tears or lubricating eye drops to keep your eyes moist and comfortable.

Low vision is a loss of eyesight that can't be meaningfully improved with conventional glasses, contacts, surgeries or other medical interventions.

-Diabetes
-AMD
-Cataracts
-Glaucoma
-Birth defects
-Eye injuries

Through comprehensive eye exams, you can help reduce your chance of developing low vision or make the most of your remaining vision. Book now!

Together, we can raise awareness and provide hope.
