I had the chance to represent SiVIEW, a fully AI-powered refraction system that I’ve been using in my office for the past 4 months—and the technology is absolutely incredible.

When I started optometry school in 1999, I remember thinking about technology like this and saying to myself, “There’s no way something like that will exist in my lifetime.”

Fast forward to 2026… and here we are. The future of eye care is here, and it’s amazing to actually be using it in daily practice.

📍 Great visit at Booth 3300. We were delighted to welcome Matthew Foley, OD to our booth at Vision Expo. Dr. Foley is one of the pioneers shaping the future of optometric practice, leveraging technology to deliver the best possible care for his patients while continuously improving how eye exams ...

Currently at Vision Expo while our amazing skeleton crew holds down the fort back home. Judging by the security camera… everything is running like a well-oiled, highly polished machine. No chaos whatsoever. Totally under control. 🔥😅

✨ Another 5-Star Experience at Foley Vision Center ✨

When patients feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for — that’s everything to us.

Thank you, Abbie-Rose, for your incredibly thoughtful words. Knowing that you felt comfortable, informed, and truly listened to means more than we can say.

At Foley Vision Center, we believe great eye care isn’t just about advanced technology and thorough exams — it’s about taking the time to explain, to validate, and to treat every patient with respect.

👁️ Listening.
📖 Explaining.
💙 Caring.

That’s what we do.

If you’re looking for eye care where your concerns are taken seriously and your questions are always welcome, we’re here for you.

🚨 SNOWPOCALYPSE UPDATE 🚨

Yes, we are OPEN tomorrow.
Yes, the building is still technically there.
Yes, you may need to tunnel slightly.

If you’re feeling heroic (or bored), feel free to bring your snowblower and/or shovel. We are currently paying in:

☕ Dunkin’ coffee
OR
💵 $5 per hour

(Your choice. We are nothing if not generous.)

Think of it as CrossFit, but with better caffeine rewards (or cash) and fewer inspirational speeches.

Come get your eyes checked. Help us find the front door too!

Upgrade in progress! 🚧✨
We’re installing new technology on Tuesday, February 17, from 8–11 AM.

Dr. Foley will be temporarily unavailable for exams while we level up your eye care experience.

Thanks for your patience as we keep pushing forward —

“Keep on innovating” isn’t just our motto, it’s our mission.

Is this true?

Annoyingly, yes. The mirror isn’t lying to you.

You generally can’t sneeze with your eyes open. Your brain basically slams the “blink NOW” button the moment a sneeze fires off. It’s a reflex controlled by the brainstem — the same autopilot system that handles breathing and other things you don’t want to micromanage.

When a sneeze happens:
• Pressure spikes in your nasal passages.
• Facial muscles contract.
• Your eyelids reflexively shut.

It’s not because your eyeballs would launch across the room like champagne corks (calm down, internet myths). It’s just a coordinated reflex. Your trigeminal nerve (nose irritation) and facial nerve (blink response) are in cahoots. They gossip. They collaborate.

Could someone force their eyes open? Maybe with serious effort or physically holding them open. But naturally? Your body says, “Nope. We are closing these shutters.”

So congratulations. Dr. Foley wins this round. You can stop standing in your bathroom trying to prove him wrong like a defiant raccoon. 🔥

17-year-old Broeden Morss from Massachusetts was diagnosed with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia this past December after his mother, Kerynn, noticed he wasn’t able to do his usual activities and was extremely tired.

To defeat AML and recover his health, Broeden needs a peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) or marrow transplant from a donor who is a genetic match to his tissue type. Unfortunately, he does not have a viable matching donor in the worldwide registry.

That’s where you come in! You could be Broeden’s lifesaving hero without even knowing it. All it takes is a swab of your cheek to find out if you are a match for him or another patient in need.

I just did mine and it was super easy! You could save Broeden’s life or another person in need!

Broeden is fighting blood cancer and needs a stem cell donor. Join the registry today, your swab could be his cure and his hope for tomorrow.
