November is National Diabetes Month, and it’s the perfect time to highlight the importance of eye health for people living with diabetes.

Did you know that diabetes is a leading cause of vision loss? Conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and glaucoma can develop silently and progress without noticeable symptoms. That’s why regular eye exams are essential—even if your vision seems fine.

We’re committed to helping you protect your sight. If you or a loved one has diabetes, we encourage you to schedule a comprehensive eye exam this month.

Let’s work together to keep your vision clear and healthy.

Halloween is a time for fun costumes and spooky makeup—but don’t let eye infections haunt your holiday!

As part of Halloween Eye Safety Month, we’re sharing a few quick tips to help you protect your eyes while enjoying the festivities:

🎃 Never share makeup – Sharing might spread bacteria and lead to infections.
🕷️ Avoid metallic, glitter, or flaky makeup – These can irritate your eyes or cause scratches.
🦇 Remove all eye makeup before bed – Sleeping in makeup increases the risk of infection.
👻 Toss old makeup – If it’s older than 3 months, it’s time to say goodbye (bacteria, ew!).

Your eye health is important to us—stay safe and have a frightfully fun Halloween!

So color your world and make a vision appointment today.

October 16th marks World Food Day, a global celebration of healthy, sustainable eating—and it’s the perfect time to remember that what’s good for your body is also great for your eyes!

Your diet plays a powerful role in protecting your vision. Foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin can help reduce the risk of eye conditions like macular degeneration and dry eyes.

Here are a few eye-loving foods to add to your plate:

🥬 Leafy greens like spinach and kale
🥕 Carrots and sweet potatoes
🐟 Fatty fish like salmon and tuna
🥚 Eggs, nuts, and seeds
🍊 Citrus fruits and berries

This World Food Day, let’s celebrate the connection between good nutrition and good vision. Your eyes will thank you!

👁️ October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💗
Your eye exam could reveal more than you think.

Did you know that certain cancers, including breast cancer, can sometimes show signs in the eyes? During a comprehensive eye exam, optometrists can detect subtle changes that may indicate systemic health issues—making regular eye exams an important part of your overall wellness.

This October, as we honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage you to prioritize your health from head to toe—including your eyes.

Whether you're due for your annual exam or just want peace of mind, we're here to help you see clearly and stay healthy.

Together, we see the signs. Together, we stay strong.

There is something nostalgic about sitting outside on a warm summer night watching the sky light up in bursts of brilliant color. It brings back memories of simple times filled with good food, lots of laughter and enjoying life with friends and family.
While we can all appreciate the splendor of a great fireworks show on the Fourth of July, we should also keep an eye on fireworks safety.

Read our tips to keep you safe this Fourth of July here https://www.drrobertkirsch.com/fireworks-safety.html

Have fun, but be safe. See you soon!

Summer is here and we hope you are getting a chance to have some fun in the sun.

Looking for glasses that adapt wherever you go? Our light-responsive lenses transition from fully clear to dark grey, brown, or green when exposed to UV rays (rain or shine). They also reduce glare, prevent eye strain, and filters more blue light than our classic lenses. It's like having eyeglasses and sunglasses in one!

You'll never forget your sunglasses again!
