Are you excited about this holiday season? Tell us why! Happy Holidays To All!!

It’s time for your eye exam!

As you prepare to chef-it-up this holiday season, keep this in mind as you chop up your next onion! A cut onion releases a gas called Propanethiol S-oxide, and when mixed with certain enzymes in the onion, it creates a sulfur gas that irritates the eyes and triggers your tear glands. Here's a tip: keep your onion refrigerated! Cold onion doesn't release that chemical compound as easily as it would if it were warm.

Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, is celebrated on the 11th day of the 11th month every year to thank, honor, and salute our heroes of the past, present, and future. Thank you for your service.

This season comes around once a year, what do you look forward to the most this holiday season?

One of the best ways to give your eyes love is to get at least 7 - 9 hours of sleep a night. A good night’s rest keeps the eyes ready for the next day and can prevent eye spasms, dryness, itchiness, strain, and bloodshot eyes. It also prevents dark circles from appearing around the eyes and let's be honest, who wants those?!

Sleeping in contact lenses increases your risk for eye infections by six to eightfold as it prevents the eyes from getting the proper oxygen and hydration it needs to fight bacteria.

Why is it so important for diabetics to get a yearly eye exam? Not only does diabetes affect your body but it can also seriously damage your vision, potentially leading to vision loss. With the proper care, like getting a yearly dilated eye exam & maintaining a healthy diet, you can help keep your eyes healthy! Contact us to schedule your yearly dilated eye exam.

We’ve officially entered the holiday season! And you know what that means... toy giving and sharing is in full swing! However, every year, thousands of children suffer from toy-related eye injuries. Before purchasing toys for that special child in your life, take a moment to consider: is this toy age-appropriate and safe?
