Caffeine May Be Good for Dry Eye

A recent study found that caffeine appears to temporarily increase tear volume. The effect is small, however for those with dry eye who love their caffeine, this could be another excuse to indulge!

Ray-Ban and Prada

You voted, we listened!  We have added both Ray-Ban and Prada to our showroom.  Both brands are now available and in stock in our optical.  We invite you to come in and see the latest.

Thank You

A big thank you to everyone who voted for us.  We appreciate it!

Shingles Vaccine

We treat the eye when there is a shingles outbreak on the face. Shingles is absolutely no fun. There is a vaccine that is effective and well tolerated. The CDC recommends the vaccine for everyone 60 and older. If you are in this age group, please ask your primary care physician about this important vaccination.

Spring Allergies

The calendar still says February, but we are starting to see patients with spring allergies. The eyedrop ketotifin was one of our favorite prescription medications for eye allergies and is now available OTC. Brand names include Alaway, Zaditor, Claritin Eye and Zyrtec Eye. If you try one of these and still have itchy eyes, call our office and we can help with a prescription eyedrop.

Online Eyeglasses

A recent study led by Pacific University and State University of New York investigated the safety and compliance of prescription eyeglasses ordered by the public online.  Two hundred pairs of eyeglasses were ordered by the investigators.  Nearly half of the prescription eyeglasses delivered directly by online vendors did not meet either the optical or safety requirements.
