You may not know that March is Workplace Eye Wellness Month. Protecting your eyes in the workplace is just as crucial as in your off time.

Safety glasses, goggles, and other protective eyewear should be worn to prevent eye injuries. Proper lighting in the workplace can also reduce eye strain and improve productivity.

Let's make Workplace Eye Wellness Month an opportunity to prioritize our eye health at work!

Scleral contact lenses sit on the white part of your eyes without touching your cornea. Because of this, scleral lenses can be a great choice for those with conditions that make wearing traditional contacts difficult, like keratoconus and dry eyes.

During your contact lens exam, we can help you determine whether scleral lenses are right for you.

OCT (optical coherence tomography) machines take cross-sectional images of your retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. They help us identify and treat several eye diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy. It's an important part of the comprehensive testing we provide for eye exams.

Visit us for your next eye exam to see the details an OCT scan can reveal for yourself.

It's getting darker earlier and staying dark longer, so your eyes may need a little help. Remember to follow the 20-20-20 rule when working on your screen or close tasks.

Every 20 minutes, take a moment to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It's a simple but effective way to give your eyes a break from prolonged screen time and help reduce eye strain.

If you’re over 60, it's time to prioritize your vision health with annual eye exams!

Senior eye exams help detect age-related eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, allowing for timely intervention and better outcomes.

Don't forget to mark your calendar! Schedule an appointment with your optometrist every year to keep your eyes and vision sharp.
