Please be careful when allowing children to play with non-powder toy guns (NPTGs) including foam darts and paintball guns. The amount of stories I've seen by providers shared online is actually shocking. This is for both parents and children alike. 78% of patients in this retrospective study were male. Mean age was 16.2 years old. The most concerning point the study makes is that final acuity was worse than 20/200 in 6% of injuries. That's the big E! Please use eye protection and proper supervision when using these toy guns.

If you have vision insurance, now is the perfect time to use your benefits to get new contact lenses! Many vision insurance plans have an annual benefit limit, which means that any unused benefits will expire at the end of the year.

By using your vision insurance benefits for contact lenses now, you can take advantage of the coverage that you have already paid for and avoid losing any unused benefits.

We accept a wide range of vision insurance plans and can help you maximize your benefits to get the contact lenses that you need. So why wait? Call us at 440-799-4311.

Scleral lenses allow patients with Keratoconus to see much clearer than with glasses or soft contact lenses. Patients are referred to Dr. Hooper and sometimes leave seeing with clarity they couldn't imagine before.
