Today we celebrate Optometry!

Optometrists are an essential part of your healthcare team. You may have heard, "the eye is a window to the soul" and it truly is a window to what may be happening in the body. Comprehensive eye examines help to ensure your vision is clear and to assess the health of the eye and body. Diabetes, cholesterol changes, and even life threatening neurologic changes can be found during the course of an eye exam. Comprehensive eye exams are recommended every year. Don't wait, schedule your examine today!

Did you know water is important for healthy and comfortable eyes?

When was your last eye exam?

Your eyes do a lot for you every day—reading, driving, working, and enjoying the people and moments around you. But vision changes can happen slowly, and many eye health issues don’t show obvious symptoms at first.

A comprehensive eye exam doesn’t just check your vision—it can also detect early signs of eye diseases and even other health conditions.

Clear vision. Healthy eyes. Peace of mind.

If it’s been a while since your last exam, this is your reminder to schedule one! Your future self will thank you.

So many things are happening during your eye exam, you may have wondered what it's all about.

1. Prescriptions for glasses and contacts are the number one reason people come in for an exam. We want you to see your best!

2. Seeing goes beyond just a good prescription, we test the function of the eyes to be sure they are working as a team.

3. Your eyes have a direct connection with the brain and neurologic tests help to establish good function.
