👓 September is Healthy Aging Month — and Jade's got your back (and your billing)! 💼

Meet Jade, our billing expert here at ALCC. She’s the kind of person who never misses a detail — whether it’s a decimal point in your chart or a deadline on your calendar.

Her tip for Healthy Aging Month? 👇
"Just like I stick to a schedule for billing, you should stick to a schedule for your eye health. Regular checkups help catch cataracts and glaucoma early — before they sneak up on your vision."

Cataracts and glaucoma can progress quietly, but early detection gives you more options and better outcomes.
Let’s make your vision a priority — just like Jade makes sure every chart is perfectly polished. 💪

👀 Eye Exam Awareness Month Tip from Marianna

"Did you know your eyes can reveal health problems long before you notice symptoms? During an eye exam, we can detect glaucoma, cataracts, and even signs of diabetes early — often before you feel or see a difference.

Your eye is also the only place in the body where a doctor can see a blood vessel without making an incision. That makes routine eye exams an important window into your overall health, not just your vision.

Don’t wait until something feels wrong — protect your eyes and your health with a comprehensive exam."

👓☀️ UV Tip from Teresa – Our Surgery Scheduler!
“Did you know UV damage can increase your risk of cataracts later in life? Wearing sunglasses with UV protection isn’t just a style choice — it’s a way to protect your vision for the long run.”

At ALCC, we see how long-term sun exposure affects the eyes every day. A little prevention now can help delay the need for surgery later.

✅ Wear your sunglasses year-round
✅ Look for 100% UVA & UVB protection
✅ Teach your kids to protect their eyes too!

☀️ UV Tip #6 with Narali: Don’t forget the kids!
“As a proud tía, I know how fast little ones can run around — and how easy it is to forget their sunglasses! But kids’ eyes are still developing, so protecting them from UV rays is extra important. Look for lenses with 100% UV protection, and toss in a sun hat if you can.”

👓 UV damage adds up over time — and it’s never too early to start healthy habits.

Hey friends! It’s Ally from the front desk at Advanced Laser & Cataract Center 👋

When it comes to protecting your eyes from UV rays, your sunglasses do a lot of the heavy lifting — but don’t forget the hat! 🧢

Wearing a wide-brimmed hat or wraparound sunglasses adds extra protection, blocking harmful light from above and the sides. It’s a great way to reduce your risk for things like cataracts, macular degeneration, and even those little growths on the eye (like pterygium).

So here’s your summer challenge from me:
✔️ Wear UV-blocking sunglasses
✔️ Add a wide-brimmed hat
✔️ Rock the look, protect your vision

Your future eyes will thank you! 👁️💛

☀️ Did you know that UV exposure is one of the biggest risk factors for developing cataracts?

Cataracts form when the natural lens of your eye becomes cloudy over time — and UV rays accelerate this process by damaging the proteins in your lens.

Wearing UV-protective sunglasses is one of the simplest ways to help keep your natural lens healthy for longer.

Rachel is wearing her sunglasses today to protect her eyes and remind everyone to take small steps now for better vision later!

😎 Choose sunglasses labeled 100% UVA/UVB protection — your future self will thank you.

🌞😎 UV Tip #3 from Mike: "Don’t Be Fooled by the Clouds!"
Even on cloudy or overcast days, up to 80% of UV rays can still reach your eyes.

Whether you're gardening, running errands, or watching your grandkids' soccer games, those hidden rays can still cause long-term damage — including higher risks for cataracts and macular degeneration.

👉 Mike’s Tip: Wear your UV-blocking sunglasses anytime you’re outside during daylight hours, not just when it's sunny. Your eyes (and future self) will thank you!
