We unfortunately have both of our Opticians out today (an illness and a passing of a close family member).

If you were planning to come pick out new glasses, or come to get an adjustment/troubleshoot/etc and are able to wait until Monday, it would help us out greatly.

Our wonderful office manager, Jamie, will be helping out as much as possible.

We thank you for your support and apologize for the inconvenience!!

Edit: power is back on!

The shopping center lost power Tuesday 10/7 at 10:07am. We are unsure the cause and will report back once power returns. Until it returns, we have no phones or internet. We will be contacting our patients to give them an update. Thank you!

We are so excited about this! As soon as we have access to this lens we will begin recommending it. Near-sighted kids that are progressing at quick rates will now have an eyeglass option to slow their myopia!

After years of anticipation, the first US approval of a myopia control spectacle lens was announced earlier today.

The Essilor Stellest lens reduced progression of spherical equivalent refraction by 71% and axial elongation by 53% after two years of wear, according to the FDA.

It's approved for use in children six to 12 years old and the lenses should be worn at least 12 hours per day, every day.

[This was sent out to all patients in an email, but posting as a reminder!]

The time is finally here to (officially!) celebrate Dr. Ray Atcherson's retirement from 43 years of amazing patient care as the founder of Bay Hills Eye Care.

We are hosting an "open house" style retirement party at our office on Friday, September 19th from 4-6pm. We will provide drinks and light appetizers.

We'd love for you to stop by, share a memory, pass on some well-wishes for retirement, and help us celebrate all "Doc" has done for the community over four decades of service.

If you are able to attend, please RSVP on the evite link so we can get a rough headcount for food and beverages. https://evite.me/VvxJQXNnHh

We hope to see you there!
