Meeting of minds yesterday - our Practice Manager & Shaun Fanger, representing our lab partner, Midland Optical!

We have (3) new product technology jumps & we are ready to tell our patients about them when exam results/clinical outcome suggest an approptiate fit.
1) Stellest lens is for myopia control (typically indicated for patients to correct myopia & slow its progresson (ages 6-12)
2) Varilux Physio Extensee Progressive lens - a new progressive add lens to create a "bridge between the eye and light", this lens has been developed to offer high vision intensity in any light for extra visual sharpness and contrast. Indicated for individuals who have presbyopia (age-related difficulty with near vision), experience severe light sensitivity or have low/limited vision, desire sharp, contrast-rich vision across all lighting conditions, & spend significant time on reading or other near-vision tasks.
3) Immersia Lens - a progressive add lens designed for individuals who use computers or work for longer periods at near focal lengths. It's designed to accommodate screen use & focus on near detailed work by providing a wider intermediate and near vision zone, reducing the need for constant head adjustments. For tasks like intricate craftsmanship, sketching, hobbies, accounting, artists & readers, it's a beautiful option. All (3) lenses are included in most vision insurance formularies.

Choose to schedule with us to learn more about these lenses, because together with Midland Optical, we do more.

On this evening's agenda 🎃

🥺 Have adding spooky contact lenses to your Halloween costume crossed your thoughts? The scarey fact: Costume contacts that aren’t prescribed by an eye doctor & purchased at an unliscensed eye care facility can cause serious eye damage: infection, corneal injury, allergic reaction & vision loss if untreated.

The take away? >> Don't purchase lenses from unregulated sources without a current contact lens prescripton. It's not safe & it's illegal. Unfortunately it still occurs. If you want to safely elevate your costume, talk to our optometrist about safe options - an eye injury is a buzzard kill on Halloween! 👀🎃👻
