🍁🦃 **Happy Thanksgiving from Denison Optical!** 🦃🍁

We’re wrapping up a little early today — **closing at 12:00 PM** so our team can enjoy the holiday with their families.
We'll be recharging, giving thanks, and probably eating way too much pie. 😄

Our doors will reopen on **Monday, December 1st** with our normal business hours!

Wishing you a warm, safe, and joyful Thanksgiving!

📢 Important Update for Our Patients

Our communications system is currently down due to a server outage. This means automated reminders—including appointment notifications and messages letting you know when your glasses or contact lenses are ready for pickup—are temporarily unavailable. We have also noticed the system sending repeating texts or calls.

This may also affect online scheduling and digital forms completed online.

If you scheduled an appointment online yesterday, November 17th, or today, November 18th, please call our office to confirm your appointment was completed.

Our phones, email, and fax are working with no interruptions.

We’re working with our service provider to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

If you need immediate assistance, please call our office directly.

This is exciting news! Yet another treatment will soon be available to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. We currently manage myopia progression in our clinic with MiSight soft contacts, Ortho-K overnight contact lens treatment, and compounded eye drops.

This will be the very first treatment option of therapeutic glasses lenses and will be a game-changer for those who aren’t ready for contact lenses.

As more information becomes available, we will keep you informed. We will be thrilled to offer this new tech as soon as we can get it!

Today, we authorized the marketing of the first eyeglass lenses to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children 6 to 12 years old at the initiation of treatment. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-authorizes-marketing-first-eyeglass-lenses-slow-progression-pediatric-myopia

The eyeglass lenses may reduce the likelihood of severe eyesight issues later in adult life and carry lower risks than the currently approved treatment alternative for slowing progression of myopia.

☀️Did you know the heat in your car can damage your lenses?

The extreme heat we’re experiencing can lead to VERY hot car interiors and some lenses can’t take it! 🔥

So while it’s hot, keep your glasses in your purse or in your home when you’re not using them. 🤓
