Enjoy these photos of our Valdosta staff members on Pink Out Day! From wearing pink and thinking pink to throwing out the first pitch at a pink out game, our team went all out this month. As Breast Cancer Awareness Month draws to a close, we hope our posts have raised awareness of the importance of regular exams and early detection. Here's one last tidbit: Having yearly eye exams can alert your optometrist of other health issues. Metastatic cancers often present themselves in the eyes, at times before any other symptoms show up. While many of these cancers do not impair vision, the eyes can show a yellowish tinge, which alerts your optometrist of the possibility of cancer. Make sure to schedule your annual eye exam today!

You've heard us say it before - regular exams and early detection are key factors in the treatment or management of diseases. This can be applied across the board! Here's your reminder to schedule regular exams and screenings to stay on top of your health. Also, check out these team members at our Douglas office on Pink Out Day.
