Ring in the New Year with eye safety in mind.

Holiday celebrations can bring an uptick in preventable eye injuries. As the New Year approaches, it’s a good reminder to share a few simple precautions with patients, friends and family:
➡️ Fireworks: Encourage viewing from a safe distance and leave ignition to trained professionals.
➡️ Champagne corks: Corks can travel up to 50 mph — advise opening bottles slowly and pointing away from faces.
➡️ Confetti cannons and poppers: Handheld and air-powered devices can cause serious eye trauma if used improperly.

A little awareness goes a long way in protecting vision. Here’s to a safe, healthy start to the year ahead.

Access to high-quality ophthalmic care just got easier in Kalamazoo, Mich. Grand Rapids Ophthalmology (GRO) has opened its 12th location, expanding retina, glaucoma and comprehensive ophthalmology services for patients and referring providers across the area.

The GRO Kalamazoo team brings together an outstanding group of clinicians, including retina surgeon Hollister Swanson, MD, Joe Morehouse, D.O., a comprehensive ophthalmologist, and Priyanka Parekh, M.D., who specializes in comprehensive ophthalmology and glaucoma.

According to referring physicians, ophthalmologist access in this area was limited, with some patients waiting six months for a cataract evaluation or traveling more than 50 miles for an appointment. This new location allows patients to receive care sooner and closer to home.

This location continues to grow and will soon add two optometrists to continue to elevate eye care for this region.

This episode exemplifies the spirit of clinical innovation and collaboration that defines the EyeCare Partners network. We encourage all providers, researchers and team members to listen and consider how this research may inform future practice.
