✨ Hello everyone, and welcome back to FUN FACT FRIDAY! ✨

Every Friday between 12:00–1:30 PM (CST), we are sharing one AMAZING eye-related fun fact featuring an animal of the week!

Last week, we went to meet a creature from anywhere, the ant! 🐜
Now, we go to the western Asia forest to meet the tarsier! 🐒

If you guessed a tarsier last week, you're on point! Here’s the mind-blowing fact:

🤓 DID YOU KNOW?
Tarsiers' eyes are large but they don't move? Meaning the primates must swivel their heads to scan their environment!

**🔮 Next week’s animal hint:
This creature can be found in the cold northern hemisphere. Can you guess who it is? 👀

Thanks for tuning in to this week’s Fun Fact Friday! 🐒 We hope you learned something new today. Don’t forget to join us next week for another eye-opening fact! 👀 Until then, keep your eyes on the prize! ✨

✨ Hello everyone, and welcome back to FUN FACT FRIDAY! ✨

Every Friday between 12:00–1:30 PM (CST), we are sharing one AMAZING eye-related fun fact featuring an animal of the week!

Last week, we were in the earth's ocean to meet - the four-eyed fish! 🐟
Now, we go to almost anywhere to meet, the ant! 🐜

If you guessed an ant last week, you're on point! Here’s the mind-blowing fact:

🤓 DID YOU KNOW?
An ant only has two eyes, but each eye contains lots of smaller eyes, giving it a “compound eye"?

**🔮 Next week’s animal hint:
This creature's eyes are large, but they can't move them. Can you guess who it is? 👀

About Dawson’s Vision Center

Pinson Dawson started in the optical business back in the late 1940’s with Bausch & Lomb. He began a tradition of hard work and honesty in the Anniston area in 1952 under the business name of J.A. Weiss & Sons in a building located at 9th and Wilmer. Pinson remained at that location doing wholesale lab work for doctors throughout the state of Alabama. Rick Dawson started working part time for Pinson during the summers delivering completed jobs to the local doctors. He made these deliveries twice a day by walking or riding a bicycle. Pinson managed the wholesale lab in the Anniston area for Mr. Weiss until 1974.

In 1975, Mr. Dawson started his own wholesale optical lab named Pinson A. Dawson Co. with the help of his two sons, Rick and Larry Dawson. He incorporated several years later and continued to do lab work for doctors around the state of Alabama. Rick and Larry continued to work summers with their dad. Rick joined his dad full time in 1978, leaving Kockums Industry where he worked in the engineering department. Larry graduated from Auburn University in 1981 with a degree in business administration and started working with his dad full time after graduation.

Then in January of 1985, the Dawson’s decided to open a retail store and combine it with the wholesale operation in the Everett Plaza on Quintard Avenue and the name became Dawson’s Vision Center. Merging the wholesale and retail segments of a privately owned optical business was a new concept at this time but it allowed the Dawson’s to sell the products and then manufacture the lenses in their own in house laboratory. It was and is the only full service vision center with a complete lab and a full time doctor in this area. Having an in house lab allows us to offer most people their prescriptions in the same day, and many times in 3 to 4 hours.
