New year, New Vision! Make sure your resolutions include taking care of your vision by scheduling your annual eye exam. An annual exam is the best way to catch and manage any eye disease early. This is especially important for glaucoma which can have very few early warning signs.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month! This leading cause of vision loss often has no early warning signs. Protect your sight by scheduling a regular eye exam to catch glaucoma early. Learn more about glaucoma prevention: https://bit.ly/4sw1aog

Handwashing helps to keep germs out of your eyes. It's especially important before handling contacts.

Handwashing helps protect your eyes too!

It’s National Handwashing Awareness Week, so here’s a quick reminder that clean hands do more than prevent colds—they can also help prevent eye infections like pink eye and more serious conditions.

This is especially important for contact lens wearers and anyone who rubs their eyes often (we see you, allergy season 🤧).

Stay healthy. Stay safe. Wash up!
