605 Vision

05/12/2026

Announcement one of THREE for the month!

First up, we have our new website. We needed a refresh with something that was more to our liking a bit more than just the standard one we’ve had previously. Something that’s more lively, fun, bright, and can match our level of awesomeness.

The 605 Crew is onto our next adventure!

That being said, we will be closed on Monday, April 20th so that our team can attend our team building symposium. We’ll be back with more knowledge, new ideas, and smiles on our faces bright and early Tuesday morning!

This year we won’t be out for the week like previously, don’t you worry. No flights to catch, bad news phone calls to make, and just one day of not seeing our beautiful faces. This time, Dr. Permann himself is also driving to make sure we don’t miss anything as we’ve also done previously 🤣

In all seriousness though, our trip last year was great and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We owe all our thanks to our wonderful patients for giving us the opportunity to learn and grow to better ourselves for each and every one of you ❤️

🌟 The moment we’ve all been waiting for!! 🌟

Whether it was prayers, donations, or the purchase of a frame, we value each and every act put forth on this mission. With your help, we are able to provide the Donovan Family with a total of over $2,500!!!! What an incredible community we are surrounded by. From the bottom of our hearts, we give thanks to each and every one of you for your thoughts and contributions to make this happen. Thank you, thank you! 🙏🏼 ❤️

The greatest thing about living in a small community such as ours is that people never fail to show up. When someone is in need, we can always count on everyone to work together to reach a common goal. 🥰

RUN, DON’T WALK!!

What Karen says goes, we don’t make the rules 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tomorrow is the last day to purchase a frame to help with our donation to John Donovan and his family. Not coming in for an exam until summer or fall? No worries! You can still stop on in and purchase your frame to save you the troubles of browsing later on! Any lucky guesses on how far we’ve gotten in the past few weeks?? 💪🏼🥳

We’re halfway through the month of March and that means counting down the days until our final numbers are counted for the Coach Donovan. It’s been a busy past month and we couldn’t be more proud of our patients for showing up to help us rally together! ❤️ There’s still 2 weeks left which means there’s still time to stop on in and see us.

Anyone want to guess how many frames we’ve sold up to this point?? We’ll give you a hint… it’s in the triple digits🤩🥳

March is Save Your Vision Month and one of the most rapidly increasing concerns from eyecare professionals is the growth of Myopia.

What is Myopia? Often known as nearsightedness, myopia is when the eyeball grows too long or the cornea is too curved. When this happens, it causes the light to focus differently for the retina.

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to focus on a few ways to help slow the progression of myopia and steps we can take with our patients to slow the progression.

First up: The Stellest Lens!

Statistics have shown that in comparison to a standard single vision lens, the Stellest lenses have proved to slow down the progression of myopia in an average of 71% of wearers. The Stellest lenses use a unique, custom to each person, set of measurements to create a zone in which it ensures sharp vision for the wearer while also slowing the progression of myopia.

It was such a pleasure to have Laura and her sidekick in to help us spruce things up a bit! We simply stated our wants and goals and they did more than show up. Knocking it out of the park would be a total understatement.

Thank you, thank you ❤️🎉

We’re officially one week into our efforts, and the amount of frames being sold has been so awesome to see. Didn’t make it in yet? No worries, we’re continuing this through the month of March as well!

Recently, Coach Donovan had been diagnosed with a Grade 4 Glioblastoma Brain Tumor, but being built as strong as he is, he’s back in the classroom and on the mat for our fellow Cubs. Not only is John a teacher and coach, but a veteran, volunteer firefighter, and friend to all as well.

To help support Coach and his family, we’re looking to relieve the financial burden that can persist with such difficult situations. With your help, we are going to spend the next few weeks pooling together funds to help offset the costs of travel, doctor visits, and needed time off for such a battle. For every frame sold, we are going to donate $10 to the Donovan Family. Of course, prayers and continued support for the family are just as powerful if not more.

We encourage you to share to help us get the word out so that we may rally together to support this tremendously special family❤️

💥🥁 Drumroll Please 🥁💥

As promised, Karen made another star appearance! What a wonderful and spicy way to start the week 🥳 On today’s episode, we found out just what the big announcement was! Of course, more details will be revealed later this week, but we couldn’t leave Karen in suspense any further.

From now until March 31st, we will be donating $10 of each frame sale to the family of Coach John Donovan to help offset medical expenses and the time needed away from work for doctors appointments and follow ups.

Stop on in, take a look around, and know you’re supporting a great cause and an even more astonishing family and inspirational man 👏🏼❤️

Friday welcomed in an unexpected visitor at the office today and man oh man were the girls in for a treat… or were they??

Happy Valentines Day to each and every one of you. Here’s to spreading the love, enjoying the gifts and affection, and of course, NOT being a Karen! 🤣❤️

⭐️ Employee Spotlight ⭐️

You might know her as the scheduling guru or the contact lens expert, but we tend to refer to her as the rambunctious one making all the ruckus at the front desk. In recent years, she’s the one with the chair sliding around the office, down the street, or wherever the wheels take her. All jokes aside, you can count on Ashley to help you whether you call the office or walk in the door. If she can’t, she’ll steer you in the direction of a specialist who can. From scheduling to contact lenses, rebates to hospitality, Ashley’s got you covered. She can remember anybody’s face or voice, rebates insights, contact lens order, insurance details, and so much more. You’d be surprised!

Let’s give a round of applause for our Patient Communication Coordinator, Ashley! 🥳
