Brand Of The Week: American Optical, established in 1833.
Unlike most brands, American Optical has been manufacturing frames for nearly two centuries in Chicago, USA! It is the oldest company for frame wear in the United States.
Throughout history, American Optical provided for soldiers who were on the field during world wars. The opticians were directly on the battle field.
Famous historic figures such as Lewis Strauss, John F. Kennedy, and Neil Armstrong wore these frames during their daily lives, and you can too! In our office, we carry the Saratoga sunglasses John F. Kennedy wore, as well the FG-58 frame that Neil Armstrong wore while stepping on the moon for the first time.
Explore our American based frames here at East Fishkill Eye Care!

Diabetes can impact your eye health in ways you may not notice initially. 👁️

Diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and other diabetes-related eye conditions often develop without symptoms in their early stages. That's why routine screenings with your eye care professional are so valuable. They can catch changes before they impact your daily life.

If you or a loved one has diabetes, book your comprehensive eye exam today.

Over the recent decade, drivers have reported more issues with headlights from oncoming drivers while driving at night. This is correlated to the transition automakers made from soft yellow light to LEDs and high-intensity discharge (HID) lights.
The AAA has stated numerous times that there is no proof of LED lights being a hazard, but drivers disagree. Due to the blueish-white light emitted and common misalignment, the human eye is directly hit with this harsh beam of light.
While we wait for new technology to remedy this issue, there are other solutions that drivers can take to lessen the impact of the headlight glare. There are nighttime glasses which fit over regular prescription glasses, helping to reduce the glare hitting the eye through its tint. Alternatively, there are clip-on lenses that go over regular prescription glasses which can be clipped on and off whenever needed. However the most popular solution is anti-reflective coating, which can be added directly to your prescription lenses. These options are available here at East Fishkill Eye Care! Call the office or stop by during regular business hours to discuss your options and reduce the disturbance of headlight glare driving!

Many of our patients here at East Fishkill Eye Care enjoy spending their free time on the court! While sometimes it's just fun and games, there is concern over the increase in eye injuries amongst pickleball players in the United States.
According to studies conducted by JAMA Ophthalmology published on October 16th 2025, the sudden increase in eye injuries correlate with the increase in interest of the sport. Between the year 2021 and 2024, there has been an estimated increase of pickleball related injuries by 405 cases. These injuries are accounted for primarily older players above the age of 50.
It is important to protect your eyes when participating in any kind of sport. Sports eyewear, goggles, and regular eye exams can help maintain a healthy eye! If interested in learning more, contact our office today!
