We posted in the spring that we treat the eye when there is a rash from shingles on the face. If you've had chickenpox, you can get shingles at any time. It is typically very painful. We have recently seen many patients in their 50's with shingles, and we don't want you to have to go through this. There is a vaccine for adults 50 and older to prevent shingles. We recommend pursuing the vaccine with your pharmacist or PCP.

As of this month, both Vicki and Susan have been part of the practice for 10 years! They join Louise who passed the 10 year mark last year. Our patients have certainly benefited from their expertise and service.

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!

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.
