🌸Pollen season is here in the south! 🌸

With the arrival of spring comes an increase of allergies like pollen, mold, and pet dander. When these allergies come into contact with your eyes, they can trigger the release of histamine in the ocular tissues- leading to irritation and inflammation.

Common symptoms of eye allergies include:

•Intense itching
•Redness
•Watery or tearing eyes
•Swollen or puffy eyelids
•Burning or gritty sensation
•Temporary blurred vision

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our team is here to help. Schedule an appointment with our office so our doctors can recommend a personalized treatment plan- so you can enjoy the beautiful weather comfortably!

👁️World Glaucoma Week | March 8-14, 2026👁️

This week we recognize World Glaucoma Week, a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about glaucoma and the importance of early detection.

Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because it can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss-but with routine eye exams, glaucoma can often be detected and managed before significant damage occurs.

✨Regular comprehensive eye exams are the best way to protect your vision.
✨Early detection can make a life-changing difference.
✨If you have a family history of glaucoma or are over age 40, routine screenings are especially important.

Take a moment this week to prioritize your eye health and encourage your loved ones to do the same. Healthy vision starts with prevention!

📞Call our office to schedule your comprehensive eye exam.

Meet the staff Monday-Retirement edition!

✨Honoring two incredible nurses- Donna Ingham & Dawne Hagins ✨

Retirement isn’t just the end of the career - it’s the celebration of a legacy.

From early mornings in Pre-op, to steady hands in the OR… to laser Thursdays…. to laughter at team dinners…. Donna and Dawne have been the heart of so many surgery days at Augusta Eye Surgery.

Donna Ingham, RN, nursing since 1979 and part of our AES family since 2014, brought experience, calm leadership, and unwavering dedication as one of our trusted OR circulators.

Dawne Hagins, RN, with 36 years in nursing and serving AES since 2014, faithfully cared for patients in Pre-op and PACU and supported our laser program each week with compassion and excellence.

They’ve comforted nervous patients, supported their teammates, shared countless laughs, and helped shape the culture of our surgery center.

We are so grateful for the years, the commitment, and the friendships.

Donna and Dawne- thank you for everything. You will always be part of the AES family❤️

Please join us in wishing them retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and so many, many well earned peaceful mornings ☀️
