💗 Celebrating Dr. Triplett-Janssen! 💗

Today we had so much fun celebrating Dr. Alicia Triplett-Janssen with a baby shower right here at the office! 🍼✨

She is expecting a baby this June, and we couldn’t be more excited for her and her growing family as she prepares to welcome her third child. 💕

We’re so grateful to work alongside such an incredible doctor, leader, and person, and we loved taking a little time together over lunch to celebrate this special season in her life.

Join us in wishing Dr. TJ all the best as she gets ready for baby girl’s arrival! 👶🎀

Employee Spotlight – Carly Owens!

Today we’re celebrating Carly’s 3 year anniversary at Metro Eye Care.

Carly has a calm, straightforward approach that patients really trust. She listens, understands what people need, and helps them find incredible glasses that fit their personality.

She picks things up so quickly, follows through, and is someone we can always count on. She shows up, works hard, and makes a real impact every day. Carly is an essential part of our amazing team and we couldn’t imagine doing this without her.

A few things about Carly:
• Favorite color is green 💚
• Loves decorating
• Has two younger siblings
• Learned to play three different instruments in high school 🎶

We’re so grateful to have you, Carly. Congrats on 3 years!

We’re excited to share that Metro Eye Care has recently upgraded to a new communication system to better serve you! This will allow us to improve texting, reminders, and overall communication with our patients.

As with any new system, there have been a few bumps along the way. Some of our recent text messages included a link to online scheduling that unfortunately did not work as expected. We’re actively working to fix this.

In the meantime, you can use our online scheduling here:

📞 We’re Upgrading Our Phone System! 📱

Over the next few days, we are transitioning to a new phone system to better serve you.

During this time, phone calls may occasionally go to voicemail while we fine-tune everything. If that happens, please leave a message and we will return your call as soon as possible.

✨ The fastest way to reach us during the transition is to text our office number. Our team will be actively monitoring messages and responding throughout the day.

Thank you for your patience as we make this upgrade. We’re excited about the improvements and appreciate your understanding!

Snow Can Sunburn Your Eyes ❄️😎

Snow reflects intense UV light, even on cloudy days.
That exposure can cause snow blindness, a painful sunburn of the eyes.

Protect your vision when driving, shoveling, or playing outdoors:
✔ Wear 100% UV-blocking sunglasses
✔ Polarized lenses reduce glare
✔ Don’t forget kids’ eye protection

If your eyes feel painful, gritty, or light-sensitive after snow exposure, give us a call.

Protect your eyes in every season.
