If your eyelids are red, crusty, and irritated, and if you notice a dandruff-like material at the base of your eyelids, you might have an eye condition called Demodex blepharitis. This is caused by the overgrowth of demodex mites. One way to relieve the discomfort and the signs of this condition is with eyelid cleansers. If you're concerned about the look or feel of your eyes, book an eye exam with us through our website.

How do you know you have an eye disease? Often, the only way to know is with a comprehensive eye exam. Most eye diseases have no symptoms until they’ve already caused serious damage. Be sure to get an eye exam annually if you have any risk factors like a family history of eye disease or if you are over 60, and every 2 years otherwise. Book your eye exam on our website.

Omega-3 fatty acids are fantastic for your eyes. These healthy fats can help soothe dry eyes and may also protect against some eye diseases. Get your dose from fish like salmon, sardines, and herring, or from a daily fish oil supplement. Along with a healthy diet, regular eye exams are key to protecting your sight. Book yours on our website.

A bold option for your second pair, or an artistic direction for your primary pair, we've got a few fun options to choose from. Come in and see for yourself.

Did you know that acetate is a plant-based material? We carry a wide variety of acetate frames in a nearly endless array of colors.
They tend to be lightweight and super durable. If you haven't yet worn acetate frames, you should absolutely come try some on. And if you’re already a convert, maybe it's time for a new pair? Visit our website to learn about our eyewear brands.

Why are some people nearsighted? In a regular eye, light enters the eye and is focused on the retina. But in a nearsighted (myopic) eye, light focuses in front of the retina. There’s no cure for nearsightedness, but it can be corrected with glasses or contacts. An eye exam can easily detect nearsightedness. Book your eye exam on our website.

Could TV-watching be making your dry eyes feel worse? It's possible. When we watch TV, use our laptops, or scroll our smartphones, we tend to blink less, leaving our eyes less hydrated. But watching TV isn't the cause of your dry eyes. It's usually due to a problem with your tears. Book your exam and we'll assess the health of your eyes and determine a dry eye treatment plan to relieve your symptoms.

We know it can feel a bit intimidating to sit at our testing machines during your eye exam. Rest assured that you can’t fail any of the pre-testing we do.

Book your next exam on our website.

Come on in and we’ll hook you up with some great options to try.
