February is ARMD Awareness Month!

Let’s talk about the leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50: Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD).

This silent, progressive disease affects your central vision-making everyday tasks like reading or recognizing faces more difficult over time.

💡 Know the risk factors:
✅ Age 50+
✅ Family history
✅ Smoking
✅ High blood pressure
✅ Prolonged sun exposure

👓 The good news?
Routine eye exams can catch early signs before symptoms appear-giving you a clearer path forward.

🗓 February is the perfect time to schedule your comprehensive eye exam and stay ahead of ARMD.

February is Black History Month, and we’re proud to honor the incredible contributions of African Americans in the field of optometry.

Despite facing systemic barriers, African American optometrists have broken through racial and professional ceilings, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable eye care community. Their impact continues to shape the future of vision care in meaningful ways.

Today, organizations like Black EyeCare Perspective and the National Optometric Association continue to expand representation and reshape how communities of color receive care.

Stay tuned all month long as we highlight the trailblazers in optometry!

⚡ Seeing flashing lights or zigzag lines?
You might be experiencing an ocular migraine — and no, it’s not just a headache.

👁️ Ocular migraines can cause:
✨ Temporary vision loss or blurriness
✨ Flashing lights or blind spots
✨ Distorted vision — usually in one eye

The visual symptoms often resolve within 30 minutes, but they can be startling. And while ocular migraines aren't usually dangerous, they can signal an underlying issue.

💡 If you've had sudden changes in vision, don’t ignore it. Schedule an eye exam to now to get your eyes evaluated!

Does your eye color affect your vision?
Not exactly — but it can impact how comfortable your eyes feel in certain situations 👇

🎨 Lighter eyes (blue, green, gray)
➖ Less melanin = more light sensitivity
➖ More glare discomfort in bright sunlight
➖ Higher risk of UV-related eye issues (like cataracts, pinguecula, and even snow blindness)

🟤 Darker eyes (brown, dark hazel)
➖ More melanin = natural light filter
➖ Better contrast + less glare
➖ Slightly lower risk of UV-related damage

💡 But here’s the bottom line:
👉 No matter your eye color, you need sunglasses with 100% UV protection 🕶️
👉 And regular eye exams to catch issues early

Your eyes are one-of-a-kind—take care of them with custom protection that fits you.

📅 Book your exam and ask us about sun-safe eyewear at your next visit!
