Dear Budd Optical Family - We just wanted to reach out & let you know that while our office is closed for eye exams, we can arrange pick-ups of eyeglasses and contact lenses. In order to proceed with the utmost caution, we will hand off merchandise at the door, once we have arranged a mutual time for pick up. If a balance is owed, we can take payment over the phone. If you are in need of more contact lenses, we have a new program which allows direct shipment to your home so you do not even need to come out! Dr. Catando will be regularly checking his email at examfeedback@comcast.net or you can reach us from the "contact us" form on our website: https://www.eyedoctormedfordnj.com We thank you in advance for understanding -- from our families to yours...we truly hope that everyone stays safe and healthy!

Do you sleep with your contacts in? Even if they are extended-wear contacts, doctors recommend that you take them out before going to bed. It’s said that your chance of getting an infection is 10-15 times greater if you sleep with them.
Did you know that, just by looking at your eyes, an optometrist can tell you whether you have high blood pressure or hypertension? If left untreated, these conditions can cause your retinal blood vessels to harden, increasing your risk for a heart attack.
To alleviate red, itchy eyes, the optometrist may prescribe several types of eye drops. For example, antihistamine drops will help reduce inflammation and minimize redness, while lubricating drops help rinse away irritants and allergens.
Ptosis is a medical term used to describe a drooping eyelid. This only refers to the upper eyelid. It is not a disease, and instead is caused from numerous factors that affect the muscles, nerves, or skin of the eyelids.
If it’s spring and your eyes are itchy, red and teary, you might be suffering from allergies. In 2014, the list of top “allergy capitals” included Birmingham (AL), Dallas (TX), McAllen (TX), Memphis (TN), Oklahoma City (OK) and Richmond (VA).
