Halloween is almost here! 👻 Costumes and makeup can be fun, but those spooky colored contacts might not be as harmless as they look.

Did you know all contact lenses — even decorative ones — require a prescription in the U.S.?

Buying them from a costume shop or unverified online seller can expose you to serious risks like eye pain, infections, and even permanent vision loss.

Pro Tip: If you want to add contacts to your costume, talk to your eye doctor first. Safe eyes = a safe Halloween!

Wearing non-prescription costume contacts makes you 16 times more likely to develop an eye infection. Be careful this Halloween!

Dry eyes? You’re not alone!

Many of us experience dryness and irritation from everyday habits like blinking less while staring at screens, spending long hours on computers or phones, and even being in air-conditioned or heated environments. Over time, these factors can make your eyes uncomfortable, red, or blurry.

Staying hydrated, taking regular screen breaks, and using artificial tears can help, but persistent dry eye may signal an underlying issue that deserves attention. 👁️
Don’t wait — schedule an eye exam with us to find the cause and get relief for healthier, more comfortable eyes!

A Dream to a Reality

Sitting on the bus after a long day in college I saw an advertisement asking “Are you interested in a career as an Optometrist?” in the school newspaper. At the time my answer was “I’m not sure”. I knew I wanted to provide a health service of some sort to my community but I really didn’t know in what capacity. I decided to seek more information about this ad. I followed the directions laid out in the ad and met a gentleman from the optometry college in New York City. After meeting with him I realized this is something I needed to pursue.

In my college town of London, Ontario Canada, I met with the local optometrist for a job shadowing session. We talked for a while. He was a very happy person and loved his profession. I wasn’t too convinced that it was for me until he let me look into a one of his patient’s eyes. I was blown away! Truthfully, I am still blown away 17 years later. I was hooked and everything in me was all the way into becoming an optometrist!

I attended the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in August of 2004. During my internship and externship training, I completed a rotation in south Florida in December of 2006. I was very pleased to be enjoying 80 degree weather in December! That weather sold me on living in Florida after my education was over. Upon graduation in 2008, I decided to obtain additional training by completing a residency in ocular disease at the Hudson Valley Veteran's Administration hospital in upstate New York. After that residency was done I headed for the sunny skies of Florida.

I settled in Tampa, Florida in 2010. I loved it! I met my beautiful wife, Alansen and not long after we decided to relocate to Orlando. I love it even more! We now have two wonderfully energetic boys. We call central Florida our home together and we both want to help make our community the best it can be.
