⭐️⭐️Employee Spotlight! ⭐⭐️

Our employee spotlight goes to Erin! This May Erin will have been with BVC for four years. She is a behind the Scenes Hero and Problem-Solver. Erin successfully resolves complex insurance issues. She demonstrates accuracy and attention to detail which is required to keep the company’s finances running smoothly. Erin leads by example with her thoroughness and perfect attendance.

Meet Erin:

Favorite company tradition?
Celebrating wins together. Big ones, small ones… if something went right, we’re gonna acknowledge it.

Proudest work win?
Getting our workflows cleaned up and consistent so the whole day runs smoother. Also stepping into a whole new department with basically no experience and turning it into something better than it was before — that one means a lot to me.

If I had a superpower?
Instant organization. One blink and everything is documented correctly and where it should be.

How has my role evolved?
I started out just handling tasks, and now I’m shaping how the whole office runs. Going from receptionist to taking on a whole new department has been a big shift, but a really rewarding one.

A mentor who inspired me?
Anyone who teaches with patience and leads by example — that’s always stuck with me.

Go-to productivity trick
Finish the step completely the first time. It saves sooo much backtracking later.

Best career advice I’ve received?
Clarity prevents chaos — and honestly, that applies to everything.

Favorite office perk?
Being able to work full time and still have my kids come first. That balance is everything to me.

Favorite way to unwind?
Quiet time, creative projects, reading, or just binging a good show to reset my brain.

What I’m excited for this year?
Adding my baby girl to the mix 🤍

Most rewarding part of my job?
Seeing how smooth everything runs when the right systems are in place — and knowing I played a big part in making that happen.

Dream vacation spot?
Somewhere peaceful, on a beach, with amazing food and zero schedule.

Advice for someone starting out?
Ask questions, take notes, and don’t rush accuracy. Getting it right matters more than getting it done fast.

Last book I read?
Currently reading Postmortem — and I fully plan on making my way through all 28 books in the series because I love a good long binge, whether it’s books or shows.

As winter approaches, we want to remind you about the increased risk of dry eye during the colder months. The combination of cold air, low humidity, and indoor heating can significantly exacerbate dry eye symptoms.

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears or when the tears are of poor quality. This can lead to discomfort, blurred vision, and potential damage to the eye's surface. Winter conditions worsen dry eye by increasing tear evaporation and reducing overall moisture.

Common symptoms of dry eye include:

- A gritty or scratchy sensation
- Redness and irritation
- Blurred vision
- Sensitivity to light
- Excessive tearing followed by dryness

Fortunately, several effective treatments are available to manage dry eye. These include:

- Artificial tears: Over-the-counter or prescription eye drops that lubricate the eyes.
- Punctal plugs: Small devices inserted into the tear ducts to reduce tear drainage.
- Prescription eye drops: Medications that help increase tear production or reduce inflammation.
- Lifestyle changes: Avoiding dry environments, using a humidifier, and taking breaks from screen time.

If you are experiencing dry eye symptoms, we encourage you to schedule an appointment for a comprehensive evaluation. We can assess the severity of your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to keep your eyes comfortable and healthy throughout the winter months.

Please text or call us to book your appointment. 740-385-4006

Sincerely,

Buckeye Vision Care
