Fireworks are fun and beautiful to look at BUT they can also be very dangerous if not handled properly. Please remember to wear proper eyewear when handling fireworks and keep a safe distance. If an eye injury occurs, seek medical attention right away. Do not rub, rinse, apply pressure, or remove any object stuck in the eye.

When removing and storing your contact lenses, make sure to place them in new solution every time to maintain excellent contact lens hygiene.

Why are scleral lenses such a BIG deal? Well, scleral lenses are unlike any other contact lens on the market. They are large-diameter rigid gas permeable lenses that rest on the sclera, the white part of the eye. The sclera has considerably fewer nerve endings than the cornea, which in turn, means less sensitivity and ultimately a very comfortable contact lens! In fact, many patients report that scleral lenses are the most comfortable contact lens they've ever worn!

Research shows that spending 2 hours OR MORE outdoors lowers the risk of developing myopia and slows its progression. So, give your child a water bottle, sunscreen, a pair of sunglasses, and send them outside to play!

Now that face masks are part of our everyday wardrobe, you may notice your eyes getting a little dryer than usual. Here are some tips to keep that from happening: - Wear a mask that fits snugly around your nose. This will ensure the moisture exits through the side of your mask and not above it. - Try to blink more frequently. - Ask us about lubricating eye drops.
