👁️✨ The Importance of Dilation ✨👁️
Dilating your eyes during an exam allows your doctor to see the full health of your eyes.
* Detects early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration & diabetic changes
* Gives a clear view of your retina and optic nerve
* Helps catch problems before they affect your vision
💡 Myth vs. Fact: Many people think you can’t drive after dilation. While your vision may be a little blurry and light-sensitive, most people can safely drive home afterward—just bring sunglasses for comfort! 🕶️
Protecting your sight is worth it. A few hours of dilation = years of healthy vision. 🌟

🐾 Happy International Dog Day! 🐾
Hi friends, it’s me — Finn! 🐶 I’m back from vacation just in time to celebrate my favorite holiday with you. Being the office dog at Winter Park Vision Specialists means I get extra love, belly rubs, and treats today — and I wouldn’t want to spend it anywhere else than with my eye-care family. 💙👓

🐾 Finn’s Adventures: Out of Office 🏞️
Hi frens, it’s me — Finn! 🐶

I cashed in some of my Puppy Time Off to go on a mountain adventure with Mom. As you can see, I’m absolutely crushing this rock climb. Meanwhile… my dad, Dr. Podschun, is still working hard helping all the hoomans see clearly at Winter Park Vision Specialists. Sorry Dad! 👨‍⚕️👓

I miss him (and his snacks)... but not enough to come down just yet. Don’t worry though — he’s still there if your eyeballs need anything.

Catch ya later, I’ve got some serious squirrel surveillance to do. 🐿️
