To prevent the spread of COVID-19, our office is currently operating under limited hours.

We are asking all routine eye exams to be scheduled for at least 2-3 weeks from now. We will reassess the situation at that time and may require pushing appointments out even further.

We are open for eye emergencies, problems, and glasses/contact lens pick-ups. We are also happy to ship your glasses/contacts to your house.

Please call ahead before picking up, as our office hours have been shortened.

Wishing you good health,
Dr. Tom, Dr. Angela, Debbie, & Theresa

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide, but they are completely reversible with surgical intervention. Here in the U.S., cataract surgery is exceedingly common (more than 3.5 million are performed each year) and is very successful at restoring sight.

This is about 6 months worth of daily disposable contact lenses. Contact lenses and their foil packaging are too small to be recycled by conventional methods and often end up in the trash or down the drain.

Bausch & Lomb One by One is a FREE program through Terracycle that anyone can use. All you need to do is:

♻️ Start storing your used contacts and their foil in a small cardboard box
♻️ Once it's full, go to http://www.bausch.com/our-company/one-by-one-recycling and print your free shipping label
♻️ Take the box to any UPS facility / Staples and send it off

It's that easy to make a difference!

Please share this information so every contact lens wearer has the opportunity to participate in this easy recycling program! 🌎
