"Pink eye" is actually conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the outermost layer of the eye. It's especially common in children and can spread quickly in schools and daycare settings. Types of conjunctivitis can be viral, bacterial or allergic. Each type requires a different approach to treatment, so it's important to get the right diagnosis. If you notice symptoms like pink or red eyes, excessive watering, crusting, discharge, or itching - don't wait. Give us a call. Early care can help prevent complications and stop the spread.

Did you know one in five adults in the U.S. has an undiagnosed eye condition? Regular eye exams help insure optimal vision health and can save sight. Many eye diseases have no symptoms until irreversible damage is done, so annual exams are good preventive medicine. Whether you wear glasses or not, regular checkups are key to lifelong vision wellness. www.eyeclinic.com

Babies' vision develops rapidly in the first year of life. Parents and caretakers play a vital role in nurturing this growth through simple and engaging activities. A couple of fun ways to help: Move objects in front of them to help them track movement and strengthen eye muscles. Play peek-a-boo! This isn’t only to make them laugh (even though that already makes it worth doing); it’s a great way of giving them practice focusing their eyes. Mirror Play - let baby look in a baby-safe mirror to encourage visual exploration and self-awareness. These playful moments aren’t just fun—they’re foundational. By engaging your baby visually, you’re helping lay the groundwork for future learning, coordination, and social development.

Eyes truly are the window to your world. Often changes in the body as a whole are reflected in the eyes. Conditions such as high blood pressure, auto-immune disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, multiple sclerosis and liver disease can all manifest in subtle yet telling ways in the eyes. That's why regular eye exams aren't just about vision - they're a vital part of whole-body wellness.

Dry eye can be a nuisance. Dry eye disease can be disruptive and progressive! The main causes of dry eye disease are aging (menopause can be a risk factor), autoimmune disease and certain medications. Increased tear evaporation may be the result of meibomian gland dysfunction (these glands produce the oily layer of tears); environment, screen time, contact lens wear, incomplete eyelid closure during sleep. Smoking and high caffeine intake can contribute to dry eye. Oddly, watery eyes can be the result of dry eye - it's your body's way of overcompensating for the dryness. Talk with us during your next eye exam about any concerns you may have about dry eye.
