July is UV safety month
Studies show that long-term exposure to bright sunlight may increase the risk of cataracts and growths on the eye, including cancer. UV rays reflected off sand and water can cause eyes to sunburn, potentially resulting in temporary blindness in just a few hours. In support of UV Safety Month this July, the American Academy of Ophthalmology reminds the public of the importance of shielding eyes from the sun's harmful rays with 100% UV-blocking sunglasses and broad-brimmed hats.

June is cataract awareness month

Cataract is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. If not treated, cataracts can lead to blindness. In addition, the longer cataracts are left untreated, the more difficult it can be to successfully remove the cataract and restore vision. During Cataract Awareness Month in June, the American Academy of Ophthalmology reminds the public that early detection and treatment of cataracts is critical to preserving sight.

Call us today for your cataract consultation/evaluation! (843)724-3456

The cataract evaluation is a two-way communication street - we will ask you questions about how your vision interferes with your daily activities. We encourage you to ask any question you have about your condition and your treatment options. We are committed to providing you with as much education as possible to make your own informed decision about how to care for your eye health.
Contact us today at (843)724-3456 to schedule a cataract evaluation.
