Your annual dilated eye exam is the best way to catch early signs of diabetes-related vision changes or vision loss caused by uncontrolled blood sugar. Have you booked yours yet?

Ben Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” It’s true for diabetes: Your discipline in controlling blood sugar is the #1 factor in preventing diabetic vision loss. The good news? Prevention is within your control.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Did you know: Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can damage the retina and the small blood vessels in the back of the eye, which can result in diabetic retinopathy — the leading cause of blindness in U.S. adults.

Spending long hours staring into screens—whether for work, school, or just scrolling—can leave your eyes feeling fatigued. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to focus on something 20 feet away. It can help reduce screen-time strain.

Your eyes are a window into your vascular, neurological, and overall bodily health. Did you know that optometrists diagnose 400,000+ cases of diabetes each year, as well as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and neurological disorders? (Yep. We do that!)

Happy Halloween! Wearing a costume tonight? Be extra careful with makeup and accessories — don’t get glitter in your eyes. Every November, we see patients with eyelid infections, corneal scratches, and allergic reactions from makeup, glitter, and false eyelashes. Ouch!

Happy Halloweek! Tempted to wear non-prescription spooky contact lenses this weekend? We advise against it. Every year, we see patients who wear non-prescription costume lenses that cause painful scratches, infections, and corneal ulcers. Better safe than sorry!

Your eyes are a window into your overall health. One in five Americans learns about a health condition unrelated to their eyes during an eye exam. Don’t miss your chance for early detection—often before symptoms appear. Contact us today to schedule your annual exam!

Your eyes don’t just let you see the world — they tell your health story. Did you know that your optometrist can identify 270 systemic and chronic diseases — including high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer — by examining your eyes?

Family history plays a powerful role in your eye health. Conditions like nearsightedness, glaucoma, and macular degeneration often run in families. A yearly eye exam is as important as your physical or dental check-up. Make your appointment today to keep your vision sharp.
