First Impressions, or Otherwise

The Three O’s

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. That’s because Transitions technology is based on UV light. UV light is blocked […]
