It's American Heart Month.

Did you know that the eyes can actually provide clues about cardiovascular health? Blood vessels in the eyes can reflect conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes, for example.

To support whole-body health, it's important to stay on top of regular medical visits and eye exams.

It really is true that the eyes are the window to the heart!

That being said, we hope everyone enjoys the game this weekend!

Cold and flu. We all know the symptoms: fever, body aches, sore throat, cough, stuffy nose...

But these viruses affect the eyes too!

Redness, watery eyes, irritation, or even conjunctivitis can all come along with respiratory illness.

So, if you're sick, and have these uncomfortable eye symptoms to boot, try:

-A humidifier
-Warm/cool compresses
-Lubricating drops
-Adequate hydration

And get well soon! 💟

In the past, if a child had myopia (nearsightedness), the only treatment was corrective lenses.

Today, we have more options.

MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses are FDA-approved to slow the progression of myopia in children.

And now, Essilor® Stellest® offer the same myopia control benefits, but in glasses form.

If you are concerned about your child's worsening nearsightedness, let's chat at your next appointment about these options. If you need to get an appointment scheduled, you can call us at 812-332-5090 or book an appointment online: https://appointments.4patientcare.app/?CoverKey=5521&Source=website&ReferredBy=website&Gcount=0

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month!

Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can cause vision loss before you notice any symptoms. The good news? Early detection can make a big difference.

If it’s been a while since your last eye exam, now is the perfect time to schedule one. Let’s protect your vision together. Call us at 812-332-5090 or book an appointment online: https://appointments.4patientcare.app/?CoverKey=5521&Source=website&ReferredBy=website&Gcount=0
