Digital eye strain is real — headaches, blurry vision, and tired eyes can all be signs your eyes need a break.
Try the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Your eyes will thank you!

We were honored to see North Carolina well represented on Capitol Hill!

Our very own Dr. Sean Smolenyak and other passionate leaders advocated for the promotion and protection of the profession directly to support the patients and communities we support back home. We are proud of Dr. Smolenyak and we are grateful for their leadership and commitment to advancing optometry

Behind every appointment is a story that reminds us why we do what we do. We are so thankful for our patients and the kind words they share about their experiences.

Today’s review highlights the compassionate care of Dr. Swarup, and we couldn’t be more proud of the difference our team is making.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
We will never forget the courage, resilience, and unity that carried us through.

We’re proud to recognize our very own Dr. Sean Smolenyak, who recently represented the North Carolina Optometric Society (NCOS) at UNC Pembroke’s district meeting!

Dr. Smolenyak is not only a dedicated provider to his patients, but also a leader in advancing optometry across the state. At the event, he highlighted how UNC Pembroke’s new Doctor of Optometry program — the first public optometry degree in North Carolina — will bring much-needed vision care to rural and underserved communities.

We’re grateful to have a doctor who is shaping the future of eye care both in our office and across the states.
