Spring brings warmer weather and blooming flowers, but it also brings pollen, one of the biggest triggers for eye allergies. If your eyes have been feeling itchy, red, watery, or irritated lately, pollen may be the culprit.

When pollen levels are high, tiny particles can land on the surface of the eye and trigger an allergic reaction. Rubbing your eyes may feel like it helps, but it can actually make symptoms worse. A few ways to protect your eyes during pollen season:
• Wear sunglasses outdoors to help block airborne pollen
• Wash your hands and face after spending time outside
• Avoid rubbing your eyes
• Use artificial tears to help flush out allergens
If your symptoms are persistent or interfering with your daily life, we can help. An eye exam can determine whether you’re dealing with seasonal eye allergies and what treatments may provide relief.

Don’t let pollen season slow you down—schedule an appointment if your eyes need extra care. 501-664-5354

March is National Nutrition Month — and what you eat doesn't just affect your waistline, it affects your vision too! Your eyes need proper nutrition to stay healthy and strong. Some of the best nutrients for eye health include:

• Lutein & Zeaxanthin — found in leafy greens like spinach and kale, these powerful antioxidants help protect against macular degeneration and cataracts
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids — found in salmon and flaxseed, great for reducing dry eye symptoms
• Vitamin C — found in citrus fruits and bell peppers, supports healthy blood vessels in the eye
• Vitamin E — found in nuts and seeds, helps protect eye cells from damage
• Zinc — found in beans and lean meats, helps Vitamin A produce protective eye pigment

This month, challenge yourself to add one more eye-healthy food to your plate each day. Your future self — and your eyes — will thank you!

Spring is in the air — and that means longer days, brighter sunshine, and more time outdoors. It’s also the perfect time to invest in a quality pair of sunglasses.

Many people don’t realize that UV exposure can be just as harmful to their eyes as it is to their skin. Increased sunlight can contribute to eye strain, premature aging around the eyes, and long-term damage such as cataracts. A good pair of sunglasses with 100% UV protection helps shield your eyes while keeping you comfortable and seeing clearly.

Whether you’re driving, coaching little league, enjoying patio season, or heading out for a spring break trip, the right sunglasses make all the difference. Stop by our optical department to explore styles that fit your face, your lifestyle, and your prescription needs. Protect your vision now so you can enjoy all the bright days ahead.

Did you know that up to 90% of traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors experience visual problems? The eyes and brain are deeply connected — vision is processed by a large portion of the brain, making the eyes one of the first places the effects of a brain injury can show up.

Common vision changes after a brain injury can include:
👁️ Blurred or double vision
👁️ Light sensitivity
👁️ Difficulty reading or focusing
👁️ Changes in peripheral vision

If you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury and noticed changes in your vision, a comprehensive eye exam can be an important part of your recovery journey. You don't have to navigate it alone.
