Aristata Communications (formerly Colorado Central Telecom) is currently having issues with their voice services. They are aware and are working on correcting it. However, in the meantime, you may have issues reaching us. If it is urgent, you can send an email to [email protected] or come by the office. If it is not urgent, I would recommend waiting until this afternoon and give them some time to work on the system. At this time, our capabilities do not include text.

Story from American Optometric Association: Surprising things an optometrist sees during an eye exam

More than 270 serious health conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases and cancers can be detected by doctors of optometry through a comprehensive eye exam. That's why AOA is committed to educating the public about the critical role regular, in-person exams play in preventive health care.
“The eyes are not only our way of seeing the world — they also give doctors of optometry a clear view of patients’ overall health,” says AOA’s President William T. Reynolds, O.D., in USA TODAY.

The eyes really are the windows to people’s health, doctors of optometry say.

It has undoubtedly been one of the weirdest years on record in many ways. The BV Schools and school activities are no exception. We would like to invite the community and other businesses to join us in showing our support for the athletes and all BV students by wearing BV gear on Fridays. The high school boys’ basketball team has put together a team store for BV basketball gear. This isn’t a fundraiser, it is just an opportunity for the BV community to get some Demons apparel. Please join us in showing your spirt and support on Fridays in the new year! Order deadline is January 3.

Exciting news! We now have our own frame line at Collegiate Peaks Eyecare. And, each frame has an etching of Mt. Princeton.

"At Collegiate Peaks Eyecare, we are committed to preserving these views for a lifetime, and where better to begin than with our own private frame line, Ascent. Inspired by our own mountain vistas, Ascent was born from a desire to merge our passion for exceptional eyewear and the majesty of the Collegiate Peaks. Made from superior acetate and titanium materials, our designs are etched with the silhouette of Mt. Princeton on the inside of every frame."
