COVID-19 Update for Hunterdon Family Eye Care
For over 25 years, Hunterdon Family Eye Care has been committed to providing excellent, compassionate and comprehensive eye care to our community. We are currently open and available from 9-3 PM for urgent and essential healthcare services. We are also offering Telehealth appointments when appropriate. Please call our office at 908-730-6774 or check our website for further information.
We continue to monitor new information about COVID 19, and have implemented the latest hygiene and safety protocols to protect our patients and staff. We plan to resume comprehensive eye exams/routine care as soon as the State of New Jersey allows the resumption of non-emergent medical care.
When routine care is resumed, we have initially structured a limited physician schedule to ensure minimal public interaction within the office space, to reinforce proper social distancing protocols. We are committed to providing you the best possible care during these uncertain times.
Sincerely,
The Optometric Physicians and Staff of Hunterdon Family Eye Care
Eye Fact Friday!
Your sleep is important! Abnormal sleep patterns may be a risk factor or possibly even a consequence of glaucoma. Click this link to learn about the connection between glaucoma and sleep http://ow.ly/m3h550BH7AB
As we head into Fall and Winter, did you know that the weather can impact your eyes? Colder weather may cause aggravation to your #eyes. It is crucial to get a comprehensive eye exam during these weather changes.
September may almost be over but thousands of sports-related eye injuries still occur every year. Here’s a few tips on how to avoid them: Wear the correct eye protection and make sure they're polycarbonate lenses, they’re 10x more resistant to impact than other lenses. Wear additional protective eyewear, if you wear contact lenses or glasses. Wear eye protection if you've had any previous eye injuries or surgeries. Regularly inspect protective eyewear for any damages. Lastly, contact us to determine which protective eyewear is best for your needs!
Are objects at a distance or close by appearing blurry? If so, it's definitely time for an eye exam! Visit our website to schedule yours today.
Having trouble telling the difference between a pumpkin 🎃 and a rumpkin? 🤣 Call our office to schedule your eye exam.
Have you decided on this year's #HalloweenCostume? For most #costumes, makeup is the most essential part! Here are some tips to help you avoid #eye irritation or infection when using #makeup:
Myth: During an eye transplant, they remove the entire eye.
Truth: Your eyeballs are connected to your optic nerve, and can't be removed. During the surgery, they are usually operating on the #cornea!
Hunterdon Family Eye Care updated their website address.
Try these simple tips to keep your glasses fog-free!
- Wear a mask that fits snugly around your nose.
- Place a folded tissue under your mask, right at the bridge of your nose, to absorb the moisture.
- Ask us about anti-fog sprays and wipes!
Scary things happen on #Halloween... don't let an #EyeInfection be the scariest! Decorative #ContactLenses are a great addition to any costume, but when used without a valid prescription, they may seriously harm your eyes & vision. Contact us to get safely fitted & enjoy a healthy and fun Halloween.

We're happy to help you find the perfect pair of glasses for your face - no matter what shape it is!
Eye injuries are more likely to happen at home than anywhere else. Home cleaning, yard work, or even just playing with the kids puts you at risk for an eye injury. Make sure to wear the proper protective eyewear when handling chemicals, flying debris, and dust particles.
One of the best ways to give your eyes love is to get at least 7 - 9 hours of sleep a night. A good night’s rest keeps the eyes ready for the next day and can prevent eye spasms, dryness, itchiness, strain, and bloodshot eyes. It also prevents dark circles from appearing around the eyes — and let's be honest, who wants those?!

Ever wonder why you get that pesky red eye?
Often, when winter is upon us our motivation to exercise and eat healthy foods tend to plummet along with the temperature. Don't let the cooler weather hold you back from staying healthy! Make sure you eat nutritious meals, stay active, limit alcoholic beverages, and avoid smoking tobacco.
Today and every day, we honor and thank the brave men and women who have served our country. Your sacrifice is not forgotten. 🇺🇸#veteransday

Happy #ThanksgivingEve!
We are so thankful for YOU! You are what make us so successful and we can't thank you enough for being part of our family!
We’ve officially entered the holiday season! And you know what that means... toy giving and sharing is in full swing! However, every year, thousands of children suffer from toy-related eye injuries. Before purchasing toys for that special child in your life, take a moment to consider: “is this toy age-appropriate and safe?”
Wash your hands with soap and water before handling contact lenses. Place 1 lens in the palm of your hand, add a generous amount of solution, and gently rub with your finger for about 10 seconds in order to remove any buildup on the lens. Then, rinse the lens with solution. Repeat with the 2nd lens — and ta-da! They’re ready to wear!
Wishing your family peace and light this holiday season. Have a bright, happy and meaningful Hanukkah!
Remembering #JohnLennon with the great joy he & his music brought to the world! 🎸🎤🎵🎹

Research suggests that regular physical activity may reduce the risk of developing serious eye diseases and protect your eyes as you age. For one, many eye diseases are linked to other health problems that can be avoided by regular exercise, including high cholesterol levels, diabetes and blood pressure. Regular exercise can help prevent these health issues or mitigate their effects, keeping your eyes healthier in the process!

February is #MacularDegenerationMonth! #MacularDegeneration (#AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss, affecting more than 10 million Americans – more than #cataracts and #glaucoma combined.
Age-related macular degeneration (#AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in adults aged 50 and over. AMD occurs when the macula deteriorates, causing central vision loss. While there's no cure for AMD as of yet, there are many ways to reduce your risk and a wide range of low vision aids and devices available to maximize remaining vision so that those with AMD can live their best lives.
