We had such a great start to the day with our morning staff meeting!

A big thank-you to Holmes Murphy for joining us to walk through insurance updates and answer our questions! We always appreciate the clarity and support they bring to our team.

We also took time to reflect on the many things we’re thankful for this season, especially each other. It’s moments like these that remind us how lucky we are to work with such a supportive, hardworking group.

To top it off, we wrapped up with hands-on cross-staff training to keep sharpening our skills and learning from one another. Collaboration makes us stronger, and today was a perfect example of that!

Here’s to growth, gratitude, and great teamwork!

For some people, changes in vision aren’t just about needing a new prescription. Sometimes, the shape of the eye itself is the cause. Keratoconus occurs when the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped, leading to blurred or distorted vision.

One of the most effective ways we help patients with keratoconus see clearly is through RGP (rigid gas permeable) contact lenses. These lenses can greatly improve clarity and comfort for those with irregular corneas.

If you’ve been struggling with changing prescriptions or vision that never feels quite clear, an evaluation for RGP lenses might make all the difference. Early diagnosis and personalized care can help protect your vision for years to come!

Did you know your optic nerve can tell us a lot about your eye health?

The optic nerve is like a cable that connects your eye to your brain, carrying all the visual information that lets you see the world around you. During a comprehensive eye exam, we take a close look at the shape, size, and appearance of your optic nerve because subtle changes can be an early sign of glaucoma.

By carefully monitoring this over time, we can detect glaucoma before vision loss occurs, since early stages often have no noticeable symptoms.

Regular eye exams paired with Optos imaging are the best way to protect your sight and catch changes early!

Halloween is almost here, but don’t let eye injuries be part of the scare! 👻

Decorative contacts, costume makeup, and costume accessories can all pose hidden risks if not used safely. Non-prescription costume contacts can cause serious eye irritation or infections, and makeup not designed for the eye area can lead to redness or allergic reactions. Even masks or accessories that block your vision can increase your chance of injury.

A little extra care goes a long way in keeping your eyes healthy and your Halloween safe!
