💙 February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration Awareness Month 💙

At Vision Gallery 417, we are committed to helping protect your vision at every stage of life. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the central part of the retina and can make activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces more difficult over time.

Although there is no cure, early detection and proper management can help slow progression. Comprehensive eye exams play a critical role, especially for patients over 50 or those with a family history of AMD.

If you have noticed changes in your vision or it has been a while since your last eye exam, our team at Vision Gallery 417 is here to help.

Struggling with glare while driving at night? 🚗🌙
Headlights and streetlights can create unwanted glare, making nighttime driving more difficult. Adding an anti-reflective coating to your lenses helps reduce glare, improve clarity, and make night driving more comfortable and safer.

We recommend anti-reflective coating on all glasses, and we offer a variety of coating options to fit your lifestyle and vision needs.

Glaucoma Care Starts Here 👁️

Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can progress without noticeable symptoms. Early detection and consistent management are key to protecting your vision.

Dr. Williamson is trained to diagnose, treat, and manage glaucoma. Through comprehensive eye exams, advanced imaging, and ongoing monitoring, she can create personalized treatment plans to help slow disease progression and preserve vision.

From prescribing and adjusting medications to closely tracking changes over time, optometrists play an essential role in glaucoma care.

If you have a family history of glaucoma or are over the age of 40, routine eye exams are more important than ever. Your vision is worth protecting! Schedule your exam today.

We have same week appointments available!

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month.
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it typically has no early warning signs. Without regular eye exams, vision loss can occur before you even realize there is a problem.

Annual, comprehensive eye exams are the best way to detect glaucoma early and protect your vision. If you are over 40, have a family history of glaucoma, or have been diagnosed with diabetes, regular screenings are especially important.

Your vision matters! Early detection can make all the difference.

OCT Imaging Matters at Your Annual Eye Exam, and Why It Matters!

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an advanced imaging technology that allows us to see the layers of the retina in incredible detail. It gives us a clear picture of what is happening beneath the surface of the eye, often before symptoms ever appear.

Many people assume OCT scans are only necessary for adults, but children can benefit from them as well. OCT imaging can help detect early signs of eye conditions, monitor eye development, and establish a healthy baseline for future exams. For kids who may not always be able to describe vision changes, this technology gives us valuable insight into their eye health.

OCT images help Optometrists catch problems early, track changes over time, and provide the most accurate care possible. Whether you are scheduling an eye exam for yourself or your child, OCT imaging is an important part of protecting long-term vision.

Healthy eyes start with thorough exams, at every age! 👁️✨
