🎉 Help Us Wish Becky a Very Happy Birthday! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Becky, our amazing Office Administrator and one of the true heartbeat members of the SEI family.

Becky has been with Southern Eye Institute for over 5 years, and in that time she’s proven herself to be:
💼 Deeply dedicated to our patients and staff
🤝 Always dependable, kind, and hard-working
💙 A true example of professionalism and compassion

When she’s not taking care of all of us at SEI, Becky loves spending time with her family and grandkids, enjoying days out fishing, and tending to her garden. 🌸🎣

We are so grateful for everything she does and for the joy she brings to our office every day.

👉 Please join us in wishing Becky a very Happy Birthday and thanking her for all she does for our SEI family! 🥳🎂

👁️ Understanding Keratitis — When the Cornea Becomes Inflamed

Your cornea is the clear, dome-shaped window at the front of your eye that helps focus light. When it becomes inflamed or infected, the condition is called Keratitis — and it’s not something to ignore.

⚠️ Common Causes

Contact lens overuse or poor hygiene

Eye injury or foreign body

Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections

Dry eyes or exposure to contaminated water (like swimming pools or hot tubs)

🔍 Symptoms to Watch For

Redness and pain

Blurred or decreased vision

Light sensitivity

Excessive tearing or discharge

A feeling that “something’s in your eye”

👨‍⚕️ Why It Matters

Untreated keratitis can lead to permanent vision loss or corneal scarring. Early diagnosis is key. If your eyes feel irritated or painful—especially if you wear contacts—don’t wait it out.

💡 Prevention Tips

Always wash your hands before touching your lenses.

Never sleep in your contacts unless prescribed.

Avoid water exposure with lenses (no swimming or showering in them).

Keep your lens case clean and replaced every 3 months.
