👁️✨ What an eye-opening day we had last week! Dr. Taylor had an amazing time teaming up with Dr. Miller from for the Ohio Optometric Association presentation to Notre Dame Elementary!

Together, they taught students all about vision 🤓 and eye health—from how our eyes work to the importance of regular eye exams. The kids were full of great questions and loved learning about how to keep their eyes healthy and strong. 💪

Thank you, Notre Dame Elementary, for hosting us—and a big shoutout to Dr. Miller for making it such a fun and educational experience! 😎
