  • Dry Eye Most Effective if Treated Early

    Why wait until a disease is in its final stages before treating it? Would we wait until a patient had lost significant visual function before treating them? Why wait until a patient is severely symptomatic and in pain before treating their dry eye. I would argue that we should not. The most important part of […]

  • DriveWear

    This is the greatest thing since sliced bread! I love this lens! For those of you who have tried Transitions lenses in the past, you have experienced a wonderful product with really just one significant shortcoming….they don’t get dark in the car.

  • Easing the Financial Burden

    Recently, in many publications, there have been articles offering methods to help consumers save money while we are enduring this economic roller coaster. One such suggestion is to “avoid going to the doctor.” In short, I understand. However, I don’t think this has to mean that you cut off all communication with your provider. I […]

  • Watery Eyes?!?!!?

    I’ve seen several people this week and talked to even more about the fact that their eyes have started watering spontaneously. All of the sudden, out of nowhere, it seems as if they can’t stop crying. Funny, Mrs. Jones…you were here last year with the exact same problem during the exact same season. This is […]
