February is Black History Month, and we’re proud to honor the incredible contributions of African Americans in the field of optometry.

Despite facing systemic barriers, African American optometrists have broken through racial and professional ceilings, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable eye care community. Their impact continues to shape the future of vision care in meaningful ways.

Today, organizations like Black EyeCare Perspective and the National Optometric Association continue to expand representation and reshape how communities of color receive care.

Stay tuned all month long as we highlight the trailblazers in optometry!

⚡ Seeing flashing lights or zigzag lines?
You might be experiencing an ocular migraine — and no, it’s not just a headache.

👁️ Ocular migraines can cause:
✨ Temporary vision loss or blurriness
✨ Flashing lights or blind spots
✨ Distorted vision — usually in one eye

The visual symptoms often resolve within 30 minutes, but they can be startling. And while ocular migraines aren't usually dangerous, they can signal an underlying issue.

💡 If you've had sudden changes in vision, don’t ignore it. Schedule an eye exam to now to get your eyes evaluated!

Does your eye color affect your vision?
Not exactly — but it can impact how comfortable your eyes feel in certain situations 👇

🎨 Lighter eyes (blue, green, gray)
➖ Less melanin = more light sensitivity
➖ More glare discomfort in bright sunlight
➖ Higher risk of UV-related eye issues (like cataracts, pinguecula, and even snow blindness)

🟤 Darker eyes (brown, dark hazel)
➖ More melanin = natural light filter
➖ Better contrast + less glare
➖ Slightly lower risk of UV-related damage

💡 But here’s the bottom line:
👉 No matter your eye color, you need sunglasses with 100% UV protection 🕶️
👉 And regular eye exams to catch issues early

Your eyes are one-of-a-kind—take care of them with custom protection that fits you.

📅 Book your exam and ask us about sun-safe eyewear at your next visit!

🥕 Can carrots really improve your eyesight?

Not exactly! While carrots (and other vitamin A–rich foods) help maintain healthy vision, they won't magically give you 20/20 or replace your glasses. 🤓

🧡 Vitamin A = great for your eyes

👀 But it’s found in more than just carrots:
✅ Leafy greens
✅ Bright veggies
✅ Dairy & fish

💡 Pro tip: Pair vitamin A foods with healthy fats to boost absorption!

Schedule your preventative eye exam today and talk to your eye doctor about more dietary options to protect your eyes!
