🎄 Holiday Cheer & Happy Little Trees! 🎨✨
Last night’s Christmas party was everything we needed — laughter, creativity, and our very own Bob Ross themed paint night at Northwind Art Studio in Redmond.
To our amazing staff: thank you for all you do. You make our workplace feel like family, and we’re so lucky to celebrate the season with you. We are incredibly grateful for the team we have. Each of you brings your own “happy little magic” to our office every day, and we couldn’t do what we do without your dedication, kindness, and heart. ❤️
Thank you for making this year brighter for our patients and for each other. Here’s to celebrating the season, creating memories, and painting the future together — storm clouds and all! 😉

❄️👀 Did you know?
Cold winter air holds less moisture — and when you add indoor heating, chilly winds, and more screen time during the holidays, your tear film can evaporate much faster.
The result? 👇
✔️ Burning
✔️ Grittiness
✔️ Light sensitivity
✔️ Blurry vision
✔️ Watery eyes (yes—dry eyes can water!)
But the good news? Winter dry eye is very manageable. If your eyes still feel uncomfortable, we can help! Our office offers advanced dry eye treatments and personalized care to keep you comfortable all winter long. ❄️💙

👓 Introducing Nuance Audio Glasses — Now Available in Our Office! 👓
We’re excited to bring Nuance Audio Glasses to our optical! These aren’t just audio frames — they’re a true medical device designed to support adults with mild to moderate hearing impairments while still looking and feeling like traditional eyewear.
Nuance Audio Glasses are not a mere “sound amplifier.” They are eyewear frames embedded with groundbreaking air-conduction hearing technology, classified in the U.S. as an over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid for adults 18+. They’re designed to amplify sound comfortably and discreetly, and can even be paired with your prescription lenses if needed — offering both vision and hearing support in one seamless solution.
💛 Why We’re Loving Nuance Audio Glasses:
✔️ Discreet open-ear technology

✔️ Easy to use with the appearance of traditional eyeglasses
✔️ All-day wear, adjustable through the Nuance App

Why buy your contact lenses through your eye doctor instead of online? 👇
When you order directly from our office, you get more than just contacts — you get accuracy, safety, and support.
✅ Guaranteed to match your exact prescription — no substitutions or expired lenses.
✅ Access to manufacturer rebates (often better than online pricing!)
✅ Complimentary replacement lenses if you rip or lose one.
✅ Faster problem-solving if you experience irritation or discomfort.
✅ We verify fit, comfort, and eye health — online retailers can’t.
Your eyes are too important to gamble on convenience alone.
Trust the experts who know your vision best. 👁️

⏳ When’s the last time you replaced your contact lens case?
Most people don’t realize these should be replaced every 3 months — no exceptions.
Bacteria love warm, moist environments… and your lens case is exactly that. Over time, it becomes the perfect breeding ground for eye infections — even if it looks clean.
✅ Rinse with fresh solution (not water!)
✅ Let air dry upside down
✅ Replace every 90 days
Want an easier, safer option?
Daily disposable lenses eliminate the need for a case altogether.
✔️ A fresh, sterile lens every morning
✔️ No cleaning solutions or case maintenance
✔️ Lower risk of infection or inflammation
✔️ Perfect for busy or sensitive eyes
If convenience and eye health are your top priorities — ask us about switching to daily contacts at your next visit! 👁️

Follow along and keep your vision safe!
