October - Halloween Safety Month
"To avoid a real-life Halloween horror story – going blind because of a costume accessory – the American Academy of Ophthalmology is warning the public against wearing COSTUME CONTACT LENSES purchased without a prescription. These illegally sold cosmetic lenses may not be sterile and can cause a host of serious eye problems capable of morphing a fun Halloween night into a nightmare." -AAO
Long story short, it's not worth the risk. Contacts need to be properly fitted by a PROFESSIONAL.
Have you cried today? 😭
You will if you read Brianna Barker's essay.
We want to Congratulate her for earning The Excellence in Health Sciences Scholarship.
There was not a dry eye in sight after reading about her experience with the medical field. Not only is she academically gifted, she has faced obstacles beyond measure and conquered them with a positive attitude.
She will continue to move mountains! 🏞️
We are here for you!

Later symptoms include:
1. Blurred vision
2. Colors seem faded
3. Light sensitivity
4. Difficulty seeing at night

Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness
Month
"People with diabetes are more likely to develop blinding eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts." -AAO
Early detection is key, keep your annual eye exam a priority.
GOULS - WITCHES - ZOMBIES could be seen.

•REFRACTION•
"EYE refraction is the measurement of the degree to which light rays bend when they enter the eye"
Aka - the part of the exam where your EYE CARE Professional determines what prescription you need in your glasses.
Who would be difficult to "REFRACT?"
Patients with DENSE CATARACTS.
Why? The CLOUDING of their lens makes it more difficult for proper refracting.
Have you ever wondered...

"IT'S ON BLUFF"
It's not uncommon for our Southern Utah patients to assume we do surgery at the hospital. However, our surgeries are actually done at St. George Surgical Center. Their facility is located at 676 S BLUFF STREET.
Chances are you have passed it multiple times during your commute. We have FOUR surgeons and FOUR surgery days a week. We have been performing cataract SURGERY there for over a decade.
I am looking for a motivated outgoing person that is competent with computers. Medical experience is great but not required. Looking for full time M-F with the possibility of travel if needed. We will train the right person. This is a fast paced medical clinic, so need to be able to multitask and handle some stress. Please send your resume to [Email hidden]

Glaucoma Awareness Month
"Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in the United States." -AAO
We are fortunate to have TWO Glaucoma Specialists at our office.
We want you to understand the importance of keeping your annual EYE EXAM a priority. Early detection is key.
Not what we had expected...
2020 started out feeling like the best year yet. We were all excited to SEE what was to come.
And then... Road blocks. 🚫
Exams and surgeries were postponed. It felt like our whole world was PAUSED.
And yet, we persevered. And once "normal" was back in motion, we appreciated the opportunity to treat Patients more than ever before. We are thankful for perspective and for all of you who keep our doors open.
Thank you 🙏
"...Grateful for the care I received from everyone at this office" - Google review
