Eye Safety and Why It’s Important
November 9, 2021
Eyes are an integral part of almost everything we do. Since you have only one pair of eyes, they deserve all the protection and care you can give them. You need to know the steps you can take to protect your eyes, which are extremely important to your well-being and happiness.
Diabetic Eye Exams
October 28, 2021
Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition affecting the sensitive vessels in the retina. Damage to this light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye can result in permanent blindness, so it is important to get a comprehensive diabetic and dilated eye exam at least once a year. This, combined with good blood sugar management, is the most effective way to prevent diabetes-related eye problems.
What to Expect at a Contact Lens Exam
October 26, 2021
Are you thinking about getting contact lenses? If so, you need to know the difference between a regular eye exam and a contact lens exam. Whether you need a new contact lens prescription or would like to try contact lenses for the first time, you need to have a contact lens exam or be fit back into contacts (refit).
Common Health Problems Eye Exams Can Detect

More than four million Americans aged 40 or older have low vision or are legally blind. Having regular eye exams can detect eye conditions before permanent vision loss occurs.
Do I Really Need Prism Glasses?
July 31, 2021
Eye doctors usually recommend prism glasses to patients who struggle with double vision, blurred vision, headaches, or other symptoms caused by slight eye misalignment. Prism correction helps correct eye alignment so that you only see one clear image. The prism added to your glasses bends light before it reaches your eye. The light is then redirected to the proper place on the retina of each eye. In effect, your brain fuses the two images to create one clear image.
Importance of Back-to-School Eye Exams
July 31, 2021
When it is time for children to head back to school, the to-do list for parents is usually long. They need to meet teachers, refresh their children’s wardrobes, resume bedtimes, and purchase school supplies. Also, a physical or wellness exam could be on most parents’ lists. Additionally, you should not skip the eye exam.
Benefits of Being an Independent Practice
July 15, 2021
Three years ago, we made the decision to become a truly Independent Practice by ending our contract with discount vision plans and providing eyecare services as an out-of-network provider. While this decision was very difficult, the benefits have proven to be monumentally worthwhile. Now that we are truly independent, we can fully deliver on our promises. Now we have more time to care.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays, whether natural or artificial, can damage your eyes. Many are aware of the connection between UV exposure and skin cancer, but fewer are aware of the link between UV rays and eye injury.
What Are Neurolenses and How Can They Help Me?
June 28, 2021
Neurolens is the name given to a unique visual treatment, designed to counteract the symptoms caused by visual misalignment. These prescription lenses are the only type to contain large amounts of contoured microprism.
What Are Signs and Symptoms of Eye Misalignment?
May 31, 2021
In an ideal world, our eyes – which are two separate entities – will work in perfect synchronization. However, the reality is that many people find that their eyes don’t cooperate as well as they could. There are a variety of reasons why this might happen, from eye injuries or disease to brain or problems at birth. Oftentimes, when the eyes don’t work together perfectly it’s because they are misaligned.
