👀 February is Eye-Opening in More Ways Than One! 👀

February isn’t just about hearts and chocolates ❤️🍫
It’s Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) & Low Vision Awareness Month and your eyes want some love too!

What’s AMD?
It’s a common eye condition in people 50+ that affects central vision, the part you use for:
📖 Reading texts
🚗 Driving
👩‍🍳 Cooking
📱 Seeing those funny memes clearly (very important)!

Signs to watch for (don’t ignore these!):
⚠️ Blurry or distorted vision
⚠️ Straight lines looking wavy
⚠️ Trouble seeing faces or fine details
⚠️ Needing more light to read

Low Vision: what does that mean?
Low vision is vision loss that can’t be fixed with glasses, contacts, or surgery; but there are tools and resources that help people stay independent and active 🙌

Why eye exams matter (even if you “see fine”):
😳 AMD can start without symptoms
👁️ Early detection = more treatment options
🛑 Waiting until you notice changes can mean permanent vision loss

Who’s at higher risk?
🎂 Age 50+
🚬 Smoking
🧬 Family history of AMD
🕶️ Poor eye protection & sun exposure

The good news?
A comprehensive dilated eye exam can catch changes early and early action can protect the vision you rely on every day.

💙 This February, show your eyes some love.

Because seeing clearly never goes out of style at any age😉

It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are for everyone who has stepped up during the recovery efforts here in Alcorn County.

To the first responders, linemen, road crews, medical teams, and law enforcement — thank you for working long hours in tough conditions to keep our community safe. We know the sacrifice you have made being away from your own families, and we don’t take that lightly. Your dedication means more than we can ever fully express.

To the volunteers clearing debris, delivering supplies, checking on neighbors, and offering helping hands without hesitation — you are the heart of this county.

We’ve seen churches open their doors, local businesses donate food and resources, and neighbors show up for neighbors in the most beautiful ways. In moments like this, the strength, compassion, and resilience of Alcorn County truly shines.

Recovery takes time, but knowing we have a community that cares this deeply makes all the difference. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for showing what love in action looks like. ❤️
