Everything the big chains offer, plus something they can't: a doctor who knows you.

At Eagle River Vision Clinic, we believe great eye care is about more than exams and eyewear. It's about building relationships, understanding your unique vision needs, and providing personalized care you can trust year after year.

✅ Comprehensive eye exams
✅ Quality eyewear and contact lens options
✅ Advanced technology
✅ A team that knows you by name

Real eyecare. Real value. Real relationships.

🚨 Career Connections is tomorrow! 🚨

Join us Tuesday, September 1st from 10am–3pm at the UAA Student Union — Eagle River Vision Clinic 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."

Stop by our table to learn more about a career driven by patient care, clinical excellence, and making a real impact in Alaska communities — and don't miss the free headshot booth while you're there! 📸

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.

Ever noticed a raised, fleshy growth on the white of the eye? That could be a pterygium - a benign (noncancerous) growth that can extend onto the cornea and, over time, affect vision if left unchecked.

Common causes include:
☀️ Prolonged UV exposure
💨 Wind and dust
🏜️ Dry environments

Mild cases may just need monitoring, but if it starts affecting your vision or comfort, treatment options are available. If you've noticed changes in your eyes, don't wait - schedule an exam with your eye doctor.

Whether you're hiking through the mountains, chasing sunrise on backcountry trails, or taking in wide-open wilderness views, your contacts should keep up with your adventures - not slow you down. But the outdoors comes with its own set of challenges for lens wearers, and a little extra care goes a long way.

This week, we're sharing a few reminders for our outdoor-loving community:
✅ Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses - even on the trail
✅ Never sleep in daily-wear contacts, even after a long day outside
✅ Replace lenses and lens cases on schedule, especially after exposure to dust, wind, or sweat
✅ Keep water away from your contacts - no rinsing in lakes, rivers, or streams
✅ Pack a backup pair of glasses or lenses for extended trips off the grid
✅ Don't skip your annual eye exam, even if your vision feels unchanged

Fresh air and big views are good for the soul - but sun, wind, dust, and altitude can all take a toll on your eyes. A few smart habits can help prevent irritation, dryness, and infection, so you can keep exploring comfortably.

If it's been a while since your last check-up, there's no better time than Contact Lens Health Week to schedule one. Our team is here to help you see clearly, wherever your next adventure takes you.

Proper contact lens cleaning is essential for maintaining healthy eyes and clear vision. 👁️

Follow these six simple steps to help reduce your risk of eye infections and keep your lenses in top condition:
1️⃣ Wash and dry your hands
2️⃣Empty and air dry your lens case
3️⃣ Gently rub your lenses with fresh solution
4️⃣ Rinse both sides of each lens
5️⃣ Soak and disinfect in fresh solution
6️⃣ Store overnight and repeat for your second lens

A few extra minutes each day can go a long way in protecting your eye health!

Tired of cleaning your lenses? Talk to your doctor about daily disposable contact lenses!

Back-to-school season means new backpacks, new schedules 🎒📚 - and a great time to think about your child's eyes, too.

Did you know contact lenses aren't just for adults? Myopia (nearsightedness) is on the rise in kids, and it doesn't just mean blurrier distance vision - it can increase future risk of serious eye conditions if left unmanaged.

That's where MiSight® comes in: the first FDA-approved contact lens clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia in children. 💚

📅 Ask us if MiSight could be right for your child at their next visit.
