☀️🕶️ Protect Your Eyes from the Summer Sun! 🌞👁️
July is UV Safety Month, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology is reminding everyone just how important it is to shield your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.

Just like your skin, your eyes can be damaged by UV exposure — which can increase the risk of cataracts, eye growths, macular degeneration, and even eye cancer over time. Per the AAO, UV rays reflected off sand and water can cause eyes to sunburn, potentially resulting in temporary blindness in just a few hours.

✅ Protect your vision with these tips:

👓 Wear sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays
👒 Add a wide-brimmed hat for extra protection
🚫 Avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours when possible

At Georgia Vision Institute, we care about your long-term eye health — so wear those sunglasses, hats and sunscreen and enjoy the summer days ahead!

✅ Annual eye exams help students stay focused, confident, and ready to learn — and help teachers avoid unnecessary eye strain during those long days of reading, grading, and screen time.

👀 Look 20 feet away,
⏱️ For at least 20 seconds.

-This can help to prevent digital eye strain by providing regular breaks for your eyes while working on digital devices.
Your eyes will thank you later!😎

Join us in saying goodbye to someone who will be deeply missed — Dr. Johnson, thank you for your years of dedication, kindness, and care here at Georgia Vision Institute. You've not only helped so many patients see more clearly, but you've also made a lasting impact on all of us who had the pleasure of working alongside you.

We sent him off with a proper Georgia🍑-style BBQ, but no amount of good food could fill the space you’re leaving behind!

Wishing you all the best on your next adventure — Alaska won’t know how lucky they are until you arrive!
You’ll always be part of the GVI family. 💙

(Guess it’s time to invest in a ladder to reach those top shelves now 🦒)

Feeling incredibly honored and grateful that my amazing team trusted me with their (and their families) eye surgery. Now they’re all seeing better than ever—completely glasses-free! Watching them experience life after having EVO ICL is the best reward. ⭐️🤍

-EVO ICL is an implantable lens that works with your natural eye to correct your vision–reducing or completely eliminating your need for glasses or contacts lenses!

This procedure is truly an evolution of visual freedom. Find out if you’re a candidate for EVO ICL.
Give us a call at 770.834.1008 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Yancey.

Important Safety Information
The EVO Visian ICL lens is intended to correct/reduce nearsightedness between -3.0 D up to -20.0 D and treat astigmatism from 1.0 D to 4.0 D. If you have nearsightedness within these ranges, EVO Visian ICL surgery may improve your distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses. Because the EVO Visian ICL corrects for distance vision, it does not eliminate the need for reading glasses, you may require them at some point, even if you have never worn them before. Since implantation of the EVO Visian ICL is a surgical procedure, before considering EVO Visian ICL surgery you should have a complete eye examination and talk with your eye care professional about EVO Visian ICL surgery, especially the potential benefits, risks, and complications. You should discuss the time needed for healing after surgery. Complications, although rare, may include need for additional surgical procedures, inflammation, loss of cells from the back surface of the cornea, increase in eye pressure, and cataracts. You should NOT have EVO Visian ICL surgery if your doctor determines that 1) the shape of your eye is not appropriate, 2) you do not meet the minimum endothelial cell density for your age at the time of implantation, 3) you have moderate to severe glaucoma, 4) your vision is not stable; or 5) if you are pregnant or nursing.
