👁️ Eye-Q Quiz: True or False?
Blue eyes are more sensitive to light than brown eyes.

💭 What’s your guess?
Comment True or False before scrolling!

✨ Answer: True!
Blue eyes have less melanin in the iris, which means they let more light into the eye. While that can make them sparkle, it also means they’re more prone to glare and UV damage. Sunglasses aren’t just a fashion accessory, they’re a must! 🕶️

On our recent trip to Costa Rica, Dr. Reynolds conducted a low vision test for a young patient, helping to ensure every child has the tools they need to thrive.

We were also able to deliver glasses, braille books and other resources for visually impaired youth for learning, independence and possibility. 💛

🌙 The Pensacola Lighthouse and Maritime Museum shines bright at night and your eyes work hard in the dark, too!

If you’ve noticed trouble seeing at night, it could be a sign of:
-Cataracts
-Vitamin A deficiency
-Or even early macular degeneration.

In fact, night vision typically begins to decline around age 40, making regular eye exams even more important as we age.

We’re here to help keep your vision clear—day or night!
