Eat for Healthy Eyes 👀
Your diet plays a big role in maintaining good vision. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, and leafy greens can help protect your eyes from age-related issues and keep them functioning at their best.

Try adding salmon, citrus fruits, spinach, or kale to your meals — small choices that make a lasting difference for your eye health.

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes This Veterans Day 🇺🇸

Did you know all blue eyes have a little brown in their history?
Eye color is determined by the amount of melanin in the iris — the same pigment that gives color to your hair and skin.

- Brown eyes have a lot of melanin, which absorbs more light and gives them their rich color.
- Blue eyes have very little melanin, so light scatters when it hits the iris; similar to how the sky looks blue.
- Green and hazel eyes fall in between, with medium levels of melanin and some light scattering.

That means if you removed the melanin from brown eyes, they’d actually appear blue underneath! Pretty amazing, right? Researchers believe that everyone originally had brown eyes, and a genetic change thousands of years ago led to the first blue-eyed humans.

Your eyes are truly one of a kind — no two irises are the same!

🇺🇸 Veterans Day is one week away, and we’re asking for your donation!
Let’s celebrate those who have bravely served our country this Veterans Day.

If you have an old pair of eyeglasses, consider donating them! 👓
Every year, we collect used eyeglasses to donate to our local Lions Club International through their “Lions Recycle for Sight” program. These glasses are cleaned, sorted by prescription, and distributed to people in need around the world — including Veterans who deserve clear vision and quality eye care.

Your small act can make a big difference. ❤️
Drop off your glasses at either office in Eldon or Columbia.
