✏️ School’s out, but healthy vision stays in session! 👓
Summer break is the perfect time to schedule your child’s annual eye exam before back-to-school season gets busy. Clear vision helps kids learn, grow, and thrive both in and out of the classroom! ☀️📚

Think you have perfect health just because you have 20/20 vision? Think again. In this video, Dr. Nick McColley from Hancock Eye Associates reveals what your optometrist sees during an exam that you completely miss—and why waiting for your vision to blur before booking an appointment is a dangerous mistake.

Many life-altering eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal thinning, are completely asymptomatic in their early stages. By the time you notice a change in your eyesight, irreversible damage may have already occurred.

A comprehensive eye exam isn't just a test to see if you need glasses or contact lenses. It is a vital preventative health check. Because your optometrist can view your blood vessels and optic nerve directly without surgery, an eye exam can provide early warning signs for systemic health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease.

Whether you have perfect vision or suffer from modern digital eye strain, learn why scheduling regular eye care is the best thing you can do for your long-term health.

👀 Think 20/20 vision means your eyes are healthy? Think again.

This powerful video highlights something we see all the time—people (especially kids) who can read the chart perfectly but are still struggling with underlying vision issues that affect learning, focus, and performance. Annual COMPREHENSIVE Eye Exams ARE FOR EVERYONE - EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE "PERFECT VISION"! It is part of maintaining your overall health.

With IU football making history 🏆—and stars like Mendoza proving what peak performance looks like winning a National Title and the Heisman Trophy in an UNDEFEATED SEASON—it’s a great reminder that success isn’t just about what you can see, but how well your visual system is truly functioning.

Fun fact: All FOUR of our doctors are proud IU grads —so this one hits close to home for us!

Comprehensive eye exams go far beyond 20/20:
✔️ Eye teaming & tracking
✔️ Depth perception
✔️ Visual processing
✔️ Early detection of health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure & more

📚 For kids: undetected vision problems can look like learning or attention issues
🧠 For adults: your eyes can reveal signs of systemic health problems early

Don’t wait for symptoms. Be proactive.

📅 Schedule a comprehensive eye exam today—for your child or yourself.

We’ve been proud of Braylon Mullins all season… and honestly, this moment felt like it was building the whole time, and that he was due for a big moment in the tournament!

Last night, he didn’t just hit the biggest shot of the tournament—he hit the shot. The one every kid dreams about in the driveway. The one you count down in your head: 3… 2… 1…

But what makes it even better? It’s who he’s been all year. The way he carries himself, the work he puts in, and how he represents his team and community every single day.

Dr. McColley, who played at New Palestine (and would be the first to admit he'd be embarrassed to be on the same court as Braylon 😅), said it best:
“It’s awesome to see such a good-hearted young man represent Greenfield’s work ethic. And not just to play on college basketball’s biggest stage, but to hit a buzzer be**er that every kid in Hancock County has dreamed about. He’s inspiring the entire next generation of Hancock County student-athletes and showing them that anything is possible”

That shot was unreal.
But the season he’s had—and the example he’s set—is even better. We'll all be cheering on UConn in the Final Four back! Coach Hurley was right and made true on his promise- he's bringing Braylon back to Indy!

isWe’re growing thanks to YOU, Hancock County! 👁️✨

Because of the incredible support from our community, Hancock Eye Associates is expanding our hours to five days per week at each location as we welcome a new doctor to our team — Dr. Nick Earls!

Dr. Earls has a passion for optometry because of the life-changing impact vision care can have. From helping brain injury patients relearn to walk to treating dry eye patients who thought they might never read comfortably again, he’s dedicated to improving patients’ quality of life through better vision.

With special interests in dry eye treatment, medical optometry, and pediatric eye care, Dr. Earls is excited to bring his experience and advanced care to patients in both our McCordsville and Greenfield offices.

Originally from Bedford, Indiana, Dr. Earls studied chemistry at the University of Southern Indiana before earning his optometry degree from Indiana University. His career has taken him from volunteering on VOSH optometry trips, to caring for active-duty military families at Fort Campbell, to providing eye care in remote Alaskan villages, and even traveling to 19 countries around the world!

Now he and his wife Judy, their two children, and two goldendoodles are happy to call the Indianapolis area home.

We’re grateful for the continued support from our patients and community that allows us to grow and expand access to eye care. 💙

📅 Appointments are now available with Dr. Earls and his full bio is on our website!

✨ Get to Know Dr. Christa ✨

🌍 Mission-Driven Care
Dr. Christa has participated in four mission trips to Kenya and India over the past 11 years, where her group sees an average of 3,000 patients per trip. She describes the experience as both rewarding and humbling — and a powerful reminder of why she chose healthcare.

🎓 Education & Roots
Originally from Wi******er, Indiana, Dr. Christa earned her Biology degree from Boise State University and graduated from the Indiana University School of Optometry in 2001.

💍 Family First
She married her high school sweetheart, and this year they celebrated an incredible 30th wedding anniversary with a special trip to Maine.

🎨 Artistic at Heart
Dr. Christa studied art in college and still loves to paint and draw in her spare time. She says art is the perfect opposite of optometry — and a wonderful way to unwind and release stress.

🏈 Proud Football Mom
One of her favorite things is watching her son play football. It was an especially memorable year for New Pal Football, as her son Abe’s senior season was nothing short of amazing.

⛷️ Ski Lover
She’s been skiing since her early 20s, first learning while in college in Idaho. Her annual New Year’s ski trip is a favorite tradition — though she jokes she may be retiring from the black diamonds.

🐾 Cat Enthusiast
Dr. Christa loves cats of all kinds and has two sweet brothers, Simba and Grazy. While she adores them, she’s not a fan of their occasional bird-hunting habits.
