Swimming with contact lenses in is a big NO! Pools, lakes, and oceans expose lenses to bacteria that can cause painful infections. Healthy pivot: Ask us about prescription swim goggles instead.

To set the record straight: Daily contact lenses are meant for One Day Only. Re-wearing them increases your risk of serious eye infections. So don’t do it! Fresh lenses every morning protect your vision and eye health.

Making goals for 2026? Add a “Don’t Do” list for your eyes and ditch any bad vision habits. Example? Skipping annual eye exams can mean missing early signs of glaucoma, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Prevention starts with a comprehensive exam.

Don’t let glaucoma, the Silent Thief of Sight, steal your vision! The best way to identify and treat glaucoma is through a regular comprehensive eye exam with your optometrist. Have you scheduled your annual exam yet?

How does vision loss sneak up on people with glaucoma? It’s a gradual loss, starting with peripheral vision. People compensate without realizing it. That’s how glaucoma can progress for years, causing permanent vision loss — and it’s why regular eye exams are crucial.

Did you know? Glaucoma risk increases with age. 10% of people age 75 or older have glaucoma, but half of them don’t even know it yet. Call us today to schedule your annual eye exam, which includes a glaucoma screening.

Anyone at any age can be affected by glaucoma. However, African, Asian, and Latino populations are at highest risk. Knowledge is power: African Americans are 6 to 8 times more likely to develop glaucoma than Caucasians and tend to get it 10 years sooner than other ethnicities.
