Celebrating 51 Years of Service this November!
Last year, to commemorate our 50th anniversary, local filmmaker Geoff George created a short documentary about the history of Rivertown Eye Care.

In this clip, Dr. Joe Slapnicher, founder of Rivertown Eye Care, and his son, Dr. Eric Slapnicher, discuss the future of the practice.

What Are Floaters, Anyway?
👀
Ever noticed tiny specks, squiggles, or cobweb-like shapes drifting across your vision? Those are floaters! They’re tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous (the clear, jelly-like substance in your eye). When light passes through, these clumps cast shadows on your retina—making them look like they’re floating around.

Most floaters are totally normal, but if they appear suddenly or come with flashes of light, it’s time to check in with your eye doctor! 🔎
