Tuesday Tip: Choosing the Right Frames 🧐

Are you overwhelmed by the many options when it comes to choosing frames for your glasses? We want to help you find the perfect frames that fit your style and needs! Here are some tips to consider:

👓 Face Shape: Different frame shapes complement different face shapes. For example, round faces often look great with angular frames, while square faces may benefit from more rounded frames.
🕶️ Skin Tone: Your skin tone can help determine which frame colors will look best on you. Warm skin tones often pair well with gold, copper, or tortoise shell frames, while cool skin tones can be complemented by silver, black, or blue frames.
👓 Lifestyle: Consider your daily activities when choosing frames. If you lead an active lifestyle, you may want durable, lightweight frames. If you need glasses for reading or computer work, consider frames with larger lenses for optimal vision.
🕶️ Personal Style: Don’t be afraid to choose frames that reflect your unique personality and style!

Schedule an appointment with us, and let our talented opticians help you find your perfect match!

Did you know... your eyes can process 36,000 bits of information every hour?

That’s right! Our amazing eyes are capable of processing an incredible amount of visual data every single hour. From recognizing faces to reading text, our brains work tirelessly to interpret the world around us through our sense of sight.

As eye care professionals, we’re constantly amazed by the incredible complexity and beauty of the human eye. And with regular eye exams and proper care, you can keep your peepers performing at their best!

So take a moment today to appreciate the incredible power of your own eyes - and don’t forget to give them a break now and then (we recommend following the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look away from your screen and focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds).

🦮September is National Guide Dog Month!🦮

At Carolina Vision Associates, we are proud to recognize the incredible impact that guide dogs have on the lives of individuals who are blind or have low vision. September is National Guide Dog Month, and we want to take a moment to appreciate these amazing animals and the important work they do.

Guide dogs are more than just companions - they are highly trained assistants that provide independence and mobility to their handlers. These incredible dogs are trained to navigate around obstacles, stop at curbs, and even avoid hazards, allowing their handlers to move freely and confidently through their daily lives.

As eye care professionals, we see firsthand the impact that vision loss can have on an individual’s quality of life. That’s why we are so grateful for organizations that train and provide guide dogs to those in need. These organizations rely on donations and support from the community to continue their important work.

This month, we encourage you to learn more about guide dogs and the incredible work they do. You can also consider supporting organizations that train and provide guide dogs to individuals in need.

At Carolina Vision Associates, we are committed to providing exceptional eye care to our patients, and we are grateful for the opportunity to recognize the incredible impact of guide dogs this month. Thank you for joining us in celebrating National Guide Dog Month!
