Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day!

Kindness doesn't have to be a grand gesture. Sometimes it's the small stuff. Holding a door. Checking in on a neighbor. Giving someone a genuine compliment.

Being kind to yourself counts too. ๐Ÿฉต

Happy Presidents' Day!

Fun fact: George Washington started wearing glasses in his 50s, and by the end of his presidency he owned several pairs for different tasks. Even the father of our country needed a little help seeing clearly.

Whether you're enjoying the long weekend or just taking a moment to appreciate the day, we hope it's a good one.

Happy Valentine's Day! ๐Ÿ’•

Looking for your perfect pair? We can help with that.

The right frames do more than correct your vision. They become part of how you show up in the world every day. Confident, comfortable, and completely you.

Whether you lean toward bold statement pieces or classic styles that never go out of fashion, we've got options waiting for you to try on.

This Valentine's Day, treat yourself to frames you actually love. You deserve a perfect match.

Happy Make a Friend Day!

Good friendships are built on showing up, listening, and being there when it counts. That's actually how we try to approach eye care too.

We know visiting the eye doctor isn't always at the top of everyone's fun list. But we do our best to make it feel less like an appointment and more like checking in with people who genuinely care about how you're doing.

Whether you've been coming to us for years or you're looking for a new eye care home, consider this your invitation. We'd love to meet you.

Did you know your heart and your eyes are more connected than you might think?

February is American Heart Month, and it's a good reminder that conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes don't just affect your heart. They can impact your vision too.

The blood vessels in your eyes are some of the smallest in your body, which makes them especially sensitive to changes in your cardiovascular health. In fact, an eye exam can sometimes reveal signs of these conditions before you even know you have them.

Taking care of your heart is taking care of your eyes. And vice versa.

When was your last eye exam? Not the quick vision screening at the DMV. A real, comprehensive exam where we look at the full picture of your eye health.

A lot of people wait until something feels off. But many eye conditions don't announce themselves with obvious symptoms. Glaucoma, macular degeneration, even diabetic eye changes can develop quietly in the background.

Annual exams let us track changes over time and catch things early, when they're most treatable. Think of it like routine maintenance for your eyes.

If it's been a while, February is a great time to get back on track. Your future self will thank you.

February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Low Vision Awareness Month, and we want to make sure this stays on your radar.

AMD is the leading cause of vision loss for people over 50, but here's the thing most people don't realize: it often starts without any noticeable symptoms. By the time you notice changes, the condition may have already progressed.

That's why comprehensive eye exams matter so much. We can detect early signs of AMD before you ever notice a problem, which gives you more options and better outcomes.

If you're over 50, or if AMD runs in your family, this is your reminder to stay on top of your eye health. It's one of the best things you can do for your future self.

Happy Groundhog Day! Whether Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not, one thing's for sure: we could all use a little more clarity about what's ahead.

Speaking of seeing clearly, February is AMD and Low Vision Awareness Month. It's the perfect time to think about your own vision and what you can do now to protect it for the future.

No predictions needed here. Just a friendly reminder that comprehensive eye exams help us catch small changes before they become big problems. That's the kind of foresight we can all get behind.

How's your vision looking these days? ๐Ÿ‘“

January is almost over, and so is Glaucoma Awareness Month. But the message doesn't stop here.

Glaucoma affects over 4 million Americans, and about half of them don't know they have it. That number is too high, and the fix is straightforward: get your eyes checked regularly.

If you've been putting it off, consider this your nudge. If you came in this month, thank you for taking that step. And if you have family members who haven't had an exam in a while, pass the word along.

We're here whenever you're ready.

Yesterday was National Opposite Day, so in (belated) honor of the occasion, here's some advice you should absolutely NOT follow:

Never get your eyes checked.
Squint at everything instead of wearing glasses.
Stare at screens for 12 hours straight without a break.
Rub your eyes as much as possible.
Skip sunglasses because clouds block UV rays anyway.

(Jokes aside, please do the opposite of all of that!)

Your eyes will thank you.

One thing about glaucoma that's worth repeating: the vision loss it causes is permanent. Once it's gone, it doesn't come back.

That sounds heavy, but the flip side is encouraging. When glaucoma is caught early, treatment can slow it down or stop it from progressing. Most people who stay on top of it keep their vision for life.

The key is catching it before you notice symptoms, because by the time you notice, damage has already happened. A comprehensive eye exam is the only way to detect it early.

If you have a family history, that exam matters even more.

There's a reason people talk about "seeing" their goals and "envisioning" the future. Vision shapes everything.

When your eyes are working well, you don't think about them much. But when something's off, it affects more than you'd expect. Reading gets harder. Driving feels different. Screen time becomes exhausting instead of productive.

If you've got plans for this year, clear vision helps you get there. It's one of those things that supports everything else you're trying to do.

When's the last time you had yours checked?
