Seeing the world through a foggy window? 🌫️👀

That’s what cataracts feel like — blurry vision, faded colors, and trouble seeing at night. Cataracts are common, but the good news is they’re very treatable. 👓✨

What causes cataracts? 👀🌫️

Your eye’s natural lens is made of water and protein — and as we age, that structure changes. When the lens becomes cloudy, light bends the wrong way, creating blurry vision. That’s the beginning of a cataract.

Aging is the main cause, but some factors speed things up: UV exposure 🌞, smoking 🚬, diabetes 🍬, steroid medications, trauma, and even family history. Protect your eyes early to protect your vision later. 👓✨

Contact lenses can lead to serious eye damage — even blindness — when used the wrong way. ⚠️👁️

Corneal infections from contacts are one of the top reasons patients need corneal transplants.

The issue isn’t the lens… it’s how we use it. Protect your sight. 💡

👁️ Three generations caring for your family’s vision.

Founded in 1961, St. Michael’s Eye & Laser Institute has grown from a small practice into a trusted name in eye care. Today, Dr. John Michaelos and his son continue the legacy of excellence and compassion.

Today the Creator of the stars became a child who needed to be held.

We often forget how breathtaking this is. God didn’t just look down on our mess, He climbed into it. At St. Michael’s today we are overwhelmed by the thought of a King who traded a throne for a feeding trough just because He wanted to be close to you.

If you feel small today, know that God became small for you. If you feel alone, know that He became human to stay with you. If you feel unworthy, know that He chose the straw and the cold just to reach you.

May the tender peace of the Savior be the most real thing you feel today. He is here, He is holy, and He is deeply in love with you.

Merry Christmas
From your family at St. Michael’s.

Tomorrow, the wait ends. We celebrate a God who didn't just send us a message, but sent Himself.

At St. Michael’s, we are reflecting on the raw beauty of the Incarnation, that the Word became flesh and moved into the neighborhood. He took on our skin, breathed our air, and walked our dusty paths so that we would never have to walk alone again.

As you gather tomorrow, may you feel the quiet, radical power of the Prince of Peace. May the Light that St. Michael defends burn brightly in your home, reminding you that you are pursued by a love that knows no bounds.

Christ is born! Let us adore Him.
With Love and Prayers,

Your St. Michael’s Family

Sleeping in contacts, overwearing them, using old solution, swimming or showering in them — all of these massively increase your risk of serious eye infections.

Never clean lenses with tap water or saliva, and always keep backup glasses with you. Protect your vision. 👁️✨

Foods can trigger migraines ⚡️🧀

Migraines aren’t random, certain foods can spark them. Aged cheeses like cheddar, parmesan, and blue cheese are major triggers because they contain tyrosine, which rapidly affects your blood vessels.

Better swap: fresh mozzarella, goat cheese, or cashew cheese.

🍫 Migraine Trigger: Chocolate

Chocolate has caffeine + PEA, which can overstimulate the nervous system and trigger migraines. Some tolerate it, others don't.

✨ Try carob or small amounts of dark chocolate and watch how your body reacts.

Artificial sweeteners & migraines… a hidden connection ⚡️🥤

Aspartame found in diet sodas, sugar-free gum, protein shakes, and low-cal snacks is a major migraine trigger for many. It can even disrupt serotonin, a key player in migraine activity.

Better options: choose natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit, or simply cut back on sweetness to reset your palate.

A migraine isn’t just a headache — it’s a brain surge. ⚡️

When your triggers stack up (stress, hormones, dehydration, certain foods), your blood vessels suddenly dilate… and the migraine hits hard.

Know your triggers. Protect your brain. 💪🧠

A college student wore the same contacts for days — even while sleeping. She woke up with severe pain and was diagnosed with acanthamoeba keratitis, a rare infection that can destroy the cornea.

She permanently lost vision… all from unsafe contact lens habits.

You don’t need to quit contacts — just use them safely. 👁️✨
