Little eyes are always exploring a big, bright world so let’s make sure they see it clearly and safely!

Healthy vision supports learning, development, and confidence. Give their growing eyes the care they need to thrive!

It’s true! Around 65% of your brain is involved in processing visual information, making vision your most dominant sense. From recognizing faces and reading text to navigating spaces and reacting to movement, your brain is constantly working behind the scenes to interpret what your eyes see. That’s why taking care of your vision is about more than just seeing clearly, it’s about supporting your overall brain health and daily function. Schedule regular eye exams to keep your eyes (and your mind) sharp!

False! Regular eye exams are essential even if your vision seems fine. Many eye conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration develop without noticeable symptoms at first. Comprehensive exams help catch problems early and ensure your eyes stay healthy for the long haul. Prevention is always better than correction!

Worried your contact lens might vanish into the back of your eye? Don’t be! A thin membrane called the conjunctiva covers the white of your eye and connects to the inside of your eyelids, creating a natural barrier that prevents anything from slipping behind. While a lens might shift out of place or get stuck under your eyelid, it can always be retrieved safely. If you’re ever unsure or uncomfortable, your eye care professional is here to help!

Your eyes need protection just as much as your skin does, especially on those bright, sunny days! UV rays from the sun can cause serious damage over time, increasing the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and even eye cancer.

Wearing 100% UV-blocking sunglasses helps shield your eyes from harmful rays while reducing glare and preventing eye strain. Whether you're heading to the beach, driving, or just enjoying the great outdoors, don’t forget your sunnies! Protect your sight in style!

Today, we honor Juneteenth—a powerful reminder of resilience, hope, and the enduring pursuit of freedom. On June 19, 1865, news of emancipation finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Juneteenth celebrates not just the end of slavery in the U.S., but the strength, culture, and contributions of Black communities throughout history and today. Let’s take this moment to reflect, learn, and continue to move forward together.

We will be closed today in commemoration of the holiday.

Blurry vision might seem like a simple sign you need glasses but it can actually point to something more serious. From dry eye syndrome and digital eye strain to high blood sugar or corneal conditions, your eyes can reveal important clues about your overall health. That’s why regular eye exams are so important, even if you think your vision is “fine.” Your eyes do more than help you see, they help keep you healthy.

Cataracts affect millions of people every year, clouding the eye’s natural lens and making it difficult to see clearly. While they can develop slowly, early signs like blurry vision, light sensitivity, and trouble seeing at night shouldn’t be ignored. The good news? Cataracts are treatable with surgery, which can restore vision and improve quality of life. This Cataract Awareness Month, let’s shine a light on prevention, early detection, and treatment. Regular eye exams are key, especially for those over 60. Protect your sight and encourage your loved ones to schedule their eye check-ups too!
