Dealing with double vision? Eyeglasses with prism correction could be the solution.

It's a safe, effective way to realign your vision and ease discomfort, and may be recommended by your eye doctor when your eyes need a little extra help.

If your eyes constantly feel dry, gritty, or irritated, it could be more than just dry eye.

At Iowa Eye Center, we offer advanced testing and treatment options to help manage dryness and protect your vision. From prescription drops to specialty lenses, we'll help you find lasting relief.

💧 Concerned about persistent dry eye? Call and schedule an exam today: 319-362-3937.

Every year, thousands of people end up in the ER with eye injuries caused by fireworks, and many of them are bystanders.

This 4th of July, protect your sight:

🎇 Stay a safe distance from launch areas
🎇 Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby in case of emergency
🎇 Never let young children handle sparklers or pick up used fireworks, as they may still be hot or explosive
🎇 Be cautious with pets. Fireworks can startle them and cause unpredictable movements near launch areas
🎇 If you're watching fireworks, and wear contacts, consider switching to glasses. They offer a bit more protection from debris or sparks
🎇 If you're lighting fireworks, wear ANSI-rated safety glasses
🎇 To be on the safe side, leave the fireworks to the pros

If an injury does happen, don't rub the eye, apply pressure or rinse it—go straight to the ER. Your vision is too important to risk.

Have a safe and happy Independence Day from all of us at Iowa Eye Center! 🇺🇸
