The Full Spectrum of Color Blindness

February 2022

Happy February, Friends!

This month, alongside Vision Source, we are highlighting low vision awareness. Vision impairment, including low vision, can make it difficult to perform everyday tasks such as driving and reading, and is often caused by many different eye diseases, such as cataracts and glaucoma. Unfortunately, low vision tends to be a permanent issue and cannot be fixed by wearing glasses, taking medicine, or even getting surgery. However, there are ways to cope as well as vision rehabilitation services that you can take advantage of! Click here to learn more about low vision and ways you can deal with it.

We want to remind you all how important it is to schedule your yearly eye exam! You can also use your newly refreshed insurance benefits for some new contacts, glasses, or both! Prevention is key for many eye diseases, and having your eyes checked once a year is the best way to catch anything before it becomes too serious.

Click here to schedule your yearly exam with us today - we can't wait to see you!

In this month's newsletter, learn some fun facts about our very own Dr. Susan Lee and get to know our Brand of the Month, Tory Burch. You will also find some interesting articles from our blog with topics geared towards the whole family!

We love our patients. We are always here for you and welcome your call, email, or visit to our office anytime.

See you in 2022!

Do Our Eyes Need Protection From Bluelight?

How much of your nightly routine is lit up by a bright screen?
