Snow Can Sunburn Your Eyes ❄️😎

Snow reflects intense UV light, even on cloudy days.
That exposure can cause snow blindness, a painful sunburn of the eyes.

Protect your vision when driving, shoveling, or playing outdoors:
✔ Wear 100% UV-blocking sunglasses
✔ Polarized lenses reduce glare
✔ Don’t forget kids’ eye protection

If your eyes feel painful, gritty, or light-sensitive after snow exposure, give us a call.

Protect your eyes in every season.

Metro Eye Care Holiday Food Drive

This holiday season, we’re coming together as a community to make a real difference. Many families in our area have had a challenging year, and we want to help lighten the load by collecting shelf-stable food items for those in need. We invite our patients, friends, and families to join us in giving back.

Most-Needed Items
• Canned meats (tuna, chicken, etc.)
• Peanut butter & jelly
• Cereal
• Canned soups
• Canned fruits
• Canned vegetables
• Dry pasta
• Boxed mac & cheese
• Protein or granola bars
• Other shelf-stable essentials

A donation box will be located at the front desk for easy drop-off.

Where Your Donations Go

All collected items will be donated to Operation Blessing in Wood River, IL. This organization not only serves individuals experiencing homelessness, but also provides food and assistance to families throughout our local communities.

Together, we can make a meaningful impact. Thank you for helping us support our neighbors during this season of giving!
