Our appointments for routine eye exams are filling up quickly through the end of the year. Appointments during Thanksgiving breaks and Christmas breaks are being scheduled now! We always have same or next day availability for eye emergencies or infections, but routine appointments for the year are filling up fast! #eyeexam #calltoday

We are honored and thankful to announce that we have been awarded not one, but TWO of 2020 Times News Readers Choice Awards! We were awarded Best Optometrist AND Best Eye Doctor!

Dear Friends,
My nephew Judah Thacker fought a courageous battle against brain cancer and went to be with our Heavenly Father in May 2019. He received amazing and passionate care at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. On December 5th 2020, I am running the St Jude's Half Marathon. I am trying to raise $4000 for St Jude as they continue to work to find a cure for pediatric cancer through research and medical care. If you feel led to donate to this cause and for St. Jude, please click on the link below!
God Bless you!

Happy FrEYEday! Hopefully any candy you get on Halloween will be better than this! #eyecandy
Many of our patients have Vision Insurance, and several of those plans can expire at the end of each calendar year (if you're not sure-call us, we'll be glad to look it up for you!). Though our availability for problem or emergency appointments are always open, our availability for routine eye appointments by the end of this year is getting smaller by the day. Call us today to schedule your appointment!
Gorgeous clouds over the office this morning! It's bound to be a great Friday! #nofilter
Wishing you a safe and happy Halloween!
It's Funny FrEYEday and ALMOST Halloween!!!!
It's Election Day! If you didn't vote early, today is the day!
During this season of Thanksgiving, we'd like reflect on and give thanks to our patients for maintaining your trust with your care during 2020. We are continuously working to keep our patients safe, including disinfecting all glasses that are tried on and cleaning our exam rooms after each use. We check temperatures of everyone that comes into the building and require staff and patients to wear a mask at all times. We appreciate you! #wereallinthistogether

Actually good news for Santa (& all our patients!), we have the Optos machine, and in many instances-we can use our Optos to capture an image of your eye as part of your retinal exam, often in place of dilation! Ask your provider at your next visit is Optos is an option for you!
Many of us saw our first snow of the season! Enjoy! Disclaimer-we do not use coal during our eye exams ;)
Our hours will be a little different the next few weeks due to the holiday season. We will be closed Thursday-Saturday 12/24-12/26, and Thursday-Saturday 12/31-1/2
We thought you'd like an update on Dr Billy's run in the St Jude half marathon.....He ran on December 5th and completed his 13.1 run with the incredible time of 1:46:31!!

February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration Awareness Month. There are 15 million people in the United States affected by AMD, with over 1.6 million having the more severe type. Adults over age 60 are most at risk for AMD, but the disease can appear as early as age 40. Studies have also shown that women tend to be more affected with AMD than men. The American Academy of Ophthalmology is reminding people with AMD that they can save their vision thanks to recent treatment advances, but early detection is a critical first step.
Optical Illusions are so fun! Which did you see first? Two faces or 1 vase?
McMillin eyecare updated their info in the about section.
How many Optometrists does it take to change a lightbulb? One.........or two? Three........or four? ;)
Happy Friday!!
Happy St Patrick's Day! Hope you and yours are wearing green today! #dontgetpinched
