Meet Dr. Steven Dobson, Optometrist at Dimond Vision Clinic 💚

"I, along with my two daughters, Kristin and Lauren, and son-in-law Michael, will see how many 2.2-mile trips up the north face we can climb between the hours of 9 AM and 7 PM. My goal will be to ascend the mountain five times.

The primary purpose of my participation is to support the efforts of LEWK, an Alaska-based nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness, promoting local education about gynecological cancers, and providing support for women who have been diagnosed with these diseases within our state. Please join me in my efforts to support the very worthwhile and important efforts of LEWK!

Over the years, I've lived and shared this journey with my wife, Judy, and several patients in my optometric practice. No donation is too small - collectively, we can make a difference! Out of sincere appreciation for all involved, I will personally match your donations, made to myself or the Dimond Vision Clinic team.

This event is more than just a climb - it's about raising awareness, honoring those impacted, and supporting the fight against women's gynecological cancers."

Every dollar raised benefits Let Every Woman Know - Alaska (LEWK) and Turnagain Community Health, helping fund awareness, early detection, and support programs for women in our community.

Thanks to Dr. Dobson's generous contribution, all donations will be matched - doubling your impact!

👁️ Myth Buster: Cataracts Only Affect the Elderly

Fact: While cataracts are more common as we age, they can affect adults of all ages and, in some cases, even children. Factors such as genetics, diabetes, eye injuries, certain medications, and prolonged UV exposure can increase the risk of developing cataracts earlier in life.

That's why regular comprehensive eye exams are important, no matter your age. Early detection can help protect your vision and keep your eyes healthy for years to come.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is one of the most common vision conditions affecting both children and adults. Individuals with myopia can typically see nearby objects clearly, while objects in the distance appear blurry.

Early detection is important, particularly for children, as vision plays a critical role in learning, development, and everyday activities.

👁️ Comprehensive eye exams help identify myopia and monitor changes over time, allowing for personalized care and vision solutions that meet each patient's needs. Ask your optometrist about the new FDA-approved Stellest lenses for myopia management.

🚨 Career Connections is tomorrow! 🚨

Join us Tuesday, September 1st from 10am–3pm at the UAA Student Union — Adventures In Eye Care will be there, and we're looking forward to it!

Curious what it's really like to build a career with us?

Dr. Adam Huff of Northern Lights Eye Care sums it up well: "Working for an Elevate Eyecare practice is a great opportunity to work in a local, private practice setting with the benefits of working for a larger company. You get the dedicated staff, loyal patients, and overall feel of a private practice, combined with great benefits like medical and dental insurance, HR support, training, organization, and room to grow. I would highly recommend it to anyone currently working in or interested in the world of eyecare."

Friday Fun Fact! 🦈👁️

The cornea is one of the most important parts of your eye. It's the clear, protective front layer that helps focus light so you can see clearly.

Interestingly, shark corneas are structurally so similar to ours that researchers have studied them as a potential resource for corneal transplants and eye surgery. 👀

Meet Patricia Edwards, Optician at Dimond Vision Clinic 💚

"Cancer has touched my family in many ways. We've lost loved ones to gynecologic cancer and celebrated survivors. Through it all, we've gained a deeper appreciation for strength, resilience, and the importance of family.

Today, I honor those we've lost, celebrate those who continue to fight and thrive, and express gratitude for every person who has offered support along the way. Our story may be marked by loss and struggle, but it is also filled with courage, hope, and love.

To those fighting, surviving, remembering, or supporting someone they love-you are not alone."

Our team at Dimond Vision Clinic is climbing for a cause. We're just about two weeks away from the Alyeska Climbathon, and while registration may be closed, you can still make an impact through your donation.

Every dollar raised benefits Let Every Woman Know - Alaska (LEWK) and Turnagain Community Health, helping fund awareness, early detection, and support programs for women in our community.
