Wishing all of our patient/friends a happy and healthy holiday season.

The Shoppe will be closed Dec. 24-Jan. 1. We are all taking a vacation!

If you have an emergency- call my cell 715.340.0496 and leave a detailed message. I will check messages daily. If you have a true emergency and cannot wait for a return call- go to the nearest emergency room.

It was a whirlwind year filled with hard work, health challenges for me, and a lovely trip with Lisa and Donna to Las Vegas for a last hoorah. Throughout it all- we stuck together and had a ton of fun along the way.

Thank you for your business. I appreciate it. As most of you know, I will be retiring on January 19th. It's been a dream come true to practice in Oshkosh.

With love,
Dr. Jill

I am happy to announce a new treatment for dry eye. Just released, prescription eyedrop Miebo targets the oily part of your tears. It is designed to help reduce evaporation of your natural tears. ⁠
⁠
If you are suffering from dry eye and none of the over the counter eyedrops or other treatments have helped- Miebo is worth consideration. Call the office to schedule a consultation. ⁠

See Well, Be Well⁠

Did you know that blinking is a "treatment" for dry eye?
You need your top eyelid and bottom eyelid to meet with a bit of force- that squeezes oil out of your meibomian glands. You need oil in your tears or else... your tears evaporate.

Call for a consult if you need a dry eye evaluation.

See Well, Be Well.

Don't go another year with dry eye symptoms.

I have many different treatments that can help. Start with a consultation and go from there.

Glaucoma is considered "the thief of sight." It typically is a very slow, progressive loss of side vision. You can have it and not know it until it is very advanced.

Yearly eye exams help in early detection of glaucoma. For those with glaucoma, we have specialty equipment that tests the health of your optic nerve and your peripheral vision.

Demodex mites love to live in the eyelid. They create "collarettes" that cling to the base of the lash. Most of us have some demodex- but when they get out of control they can cause red, irritated eyes.

It's not bad hygiene. It's your skin type. During your office visit, I will examine and video your eyelids. We can then discuss any treatment plan.

Blepharitis= an over abundance of bacteria.
Demodicosis= an over abundance of demodex mites.

You can have both conditions at the same time. I can help you with both conditions. Give me a call.

See Well, Be Well.

Avenova helps to keep your lid hygiene under control. Great for people with blepharitis/ocular allergies/dry eye.

You spray your clean eyelids (eyes closed). No drops, just spray. Easy to use. Good for kids/elderly who have issues getting drops into their eyes.

We stock Avenova at The Shoppe.

It seems too soon.... but it's not!

It's time to schedule annual exams for the whole family. Just like kids grow out of their clothes and need bigger shoes- vision changes occur during rapid growth phases.

Set your child up for success at school- make sure their vision is optimized for distance and near vision.

I recommend an exam before entering kindergarten and yearly thereafter. We make it fun. Many young people do not need glasses- but those that do- early intervention can make an impact on their attitude towards school and affinity for learning. It matters.

See Well, Be Well
