🥕 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!

January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month

Did you know? Glaucoma is known as the “silent thief of sight” — it often has no symptoms until vision loss has already begun.

🧠 You can’t feel it.
🕶️ You may not see it coming.
🩺 But a comprehensive eye exam can detect it early.

✅ Early detection
✅ Regular eye exams
✅ Protecting your vision for life

Let’s spread the word and encourage our loved ones to get their eyes checked — especially those over 40 or with a family history of glaucoma.

💚 Your sight matters. Schedule your exam today.

Diabetes doesn’t just affect your body—it can impact your vision too.

Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision loss in adults, but it’s often silent in its early stages.

Here’s what you need to know:
🔍 It’s caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina
📉 Early symptoms may include blurry vision, floaters, or dark spots
🩺 Left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss
✅ Regular eye exams can catch it early—even before symptoms appear!

If you or a loved one has diabetes, make your eye health a priority.

Our Story

Dr. Charles "Chuck" Knudson graduated from Southern College of Optometry in 1991. He became a partner/owner of the Optometry Group in Memphis, TN and practiced there for 7 years. In 1998, he became President & CEO of Vision Care Specialists, Inc in Denver, CO, with 14 doctors and multiple locations. In 2006, Dr. Knudson and his family moved to Charlotte and joined EyeOptix Vision and Laser Centers. In December, 2007, Dr. Knudson helped EyeOptix open their Ballantyne and Uptown offices and has been seeing patients there to the present. In 2011, Dr. Knudson offered to buy the Ballantyne location from EyeOptix so that he could provide more focus and care for the patients he had come to know in Ballantyne and the surrounding areas. August 2011 brought that exciting possibility to a reality. Dr. Knudson is the North Carolina State Executive for a practice improvement group called OD Excellence. As the practice continued to grow, he brought on Dr. Kimberly (Mark) Douglas as a full-time associate in April of 2013. She is a 2005 graduate from UNC-Chapel Hill and 2009 graduate from UMSL College of Optometry. She has been a great asset to our practice. As Carolinas Vision Group has grown even more, an additional Doctor was added to the practice in the summer of 2017. Dr. Steven Kotsokalis is a residency-trained optometrist born and raised in Charlotte, NC. Dr. Kotsokalis graduated from North Carolina State University in 2012 and Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 2016. It has been an honor having him join our team. Our last big change came in November of 2017, as we opened our second office location. Now, open in Rea Farms we are able to service even more patients! We are so exited to see where this journey continues to lead us, and were thrilled to have you be a part of it.
