Did you hear? Meta is donating Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses to eligible blind veterans across the US!

These glasses can help with things like reading text, identifying objects and describing surroundings. As a Ray-Ban Meta retailer, we’re excited to see how this technology can help make everyday life a little more accessible and independent for people who are blind or have significant vision impairments!

One important note: the free glasses for eligible veterans aren’t something you can pick up through us. Meta is handling that program separately.

But if you’ve been curious about Ray-Ban Meta for yourself, you know where to find us! Call 618-628-8868 to book your appointment, or schedule online!

A new program by Meta is giving veterans the gift of technology to help assist them in their everyday lives.

If it’s been over a year since your last eye exam, this is your sign 👀

Vision changes can happen slowly, so you might not even notice right away. Regular exams help catch small changes early and keep your eyes healthy long term.

If things feel a little off, or it’s just been a while, we’ve got you.

Staring at screens all day? Your eyes feel it more than you think!

That’s where the 20-20-20 rule comes in: Every 20 minutes, take a break and look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

It might seem small, but this simple habit can help:
• Reduce eye strain and fatigue
• Prevent dryness from less blinking
• Relax your focusing muscles
• Keep your vision more comfortable throughout the da

Whether you’re working, scrolling, or binge-watching your favorite show, your eyes need regular breaks. Setting a timer or using screen reminders can make it easier to stay consistent!

And don’t forget, while the 20-20-20 rule helps with daily strain, regular eye exams are still key to protecting your long-term eye health and catching any changes early.
