Planning your Halloween costume?

Think twice before making decorative contacts part of the look.

Even when they don’t correct your vision, decorative lenses sit directly on the surface of your eye. Poorly fitting lenses or improper wear can lead to irritation, corneal scratches or infection.

That’s why your eye doctor may recommend leaving decorative contacts out of the costume altogether.
You can change your look in plenty of ways without taking chances with your eyes.

This Halloween, let the costume make the statement, not the contacts.

A look back at a great day supporting a cause close to our hearts! 💙🚶‍♀️

Last month, our CEI team came together for the Foundation Fighting Blindness VisionWalk to support research advancing the prevention, treatment and cure of blinding diseases. We were honored to bring home the Largest Team Award and hear from our own Dr. Christopher Riemann about the latest advances in retinal treatments.

We’re proud to stand alongside the Foundation Fighting Blindness and grateful to everyone who walked, donated and helped make the day a success.

Two people can have the same eye condition and still have very different treatment plans.

Your eye doctor may consider factors such as how advanced the condition is, how it’s changing over time, your overall health, other eye conditions and how your vision is affecting your daily life.

Sometimes the right next step is treatment. Sometimes it’s continued monitoring. And the approach may change over time.

That’s why eye care isn’t simply about naming a condition. It’s about getting to know you, understanding how your vision affects your life and working together to find the care that’s right for you. We’re here to listen, answer your questions and support you every step of the way.

Glasses and contact lenses aren’t your only options for clearer vision.

Depending on your eyes, prescription and vision goals, a vision correction procedure such as LASIK or another option may be worth exploring.

The best place to start? An evaluation. Our team can take a closer look at your eyes, talk with you about your goals and help you understand which options may be right for you.

Weekend project? Yard work? A little time in the garage?

Before you get started, think about your eyes.

Protective eyewear can help reduce the risk of eye injuries from flying debris, dust, chemicals and other hazards. The right protection depends on what you’re doing, so make eye safety part of the plan, not an afterthought.

Why would your ophthalmologist ask about a medication prescribed for something completely unrelated to your eyes?

Because some medications can affect your vision and eye health.

Certain medications can cause changes in vision, increase eye pressure, contribute to dry eyes or raise the risk of developing certain eye conditions. These effects can vary depending on the medication, dosage and length of use.

That’s why sharing your complete medication history with your ophthalmologist is an important part of protecting your eye health.

Have questions about how your medications might affect your eyes? Talk with your eye doctor about potential side effects.

Never stop or change a prescribed medication without first consulting the clinician who prescribed it.
