October is Vision Awareness Month

Zigzags in your vision. Flashing lights. But no headache?

Migraine can sometimes affect your vision without head pain—and knowing when to get checked matters.

The OPTYX Journal breaks down ocular migraine symptoms, common triggers, and warning signs that need urgent attention.

Read it, save it, and share it with someone who’s experienced this. Sudden vision loss needs urgent medical care.

Ocular migraine symptoms, what triggers them, how long they last and when flickering vision needs an urgent check. An OPTYX optometrist explains.

As National Sunglasses Day on June 27 reminds us, sunglasses are more than a fashion statement-they are an important part of protecting long-term eye health. Created by The Vision Council to promote awareness of UV eye safety, the annual observance encourages people to wear sunglasses that provide verified protection from harmful ultraviolet rays.

After years of exposure to sunlight-especially sunlight reflecting off water, sand, pavement, or snow-a fleshy growth can slowly develop on the surface of the eye. Many people don’t realize it’s there until an eye doctor points it out during a routine exam.

The condition is called pterygium, more commonly known as “surfer’s eye.”

While it’s usually benign, it can enlarge over time and, in some cases, affect vision. The encouraging news is that protecting your eyes from ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the simplest steps you can take to help reduce your risk.

This National Sunglasses Day, learn how UV exposure may contribute to surfer’s eye (pterygium), why outdoor enthusiasts are at risk, and how proper sunglasses can help protect your vision.

Most people think an eye exam is just about seeing better.

It’s not.

At OPTYX New York, our optometrists aren’t just checking prescriptions — they’re often the first line of defense in detecting deeper health concerns connected to the eyes, brain, nervous system, and overall wellness.

Because headaches, neck pain, eye strain, blurred vision, fatigue, dizziness, difficulty focusing, and even changes in eye health are not things we believe should be ignored.

Our doctors bring decades of experience combining advanced medical technology with real human connection and personalized care.

Through technologies like Neurolens and Optos retinal imaging, we’re able to see beyond what a traditional eye exam typically uncovers.

We look at:
• how you live
• how you work
• how much screen time you have
• how your eyes are functioning together
• your long-term eye health
• and how your vision impacts your daily life

This is not “quick glasses and go.”
This is comprehensive vision care designed around the whole person.

And yes — incredible eyewear matters too. But your health always comes first.

If you’ve been struggling with headaches, eye fatigue, trouble driving at night, digital strain, or you simply haven’t had a comprehensive eye exam in years… this is your sign.

📍13 OPTYX New York locations from the Upper East Side to East Hampton

Because seeing clearly is one thing.
Understanding what your eyes are trying to tell you is another.

Thank you to Long Island Business News and the incredible Genn for beautifully capturing this exciting new chapter for OPTYX North Shore Vision in Port Washington.

After 39 years serving the Port Washington community, we are proud to officially welcome patients and families to our new home at 102 Main Street. This moment represents decades of dedication to vision care, innovation, style, and community connection.

A special thank you to the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce, town officials, community leaders, and everyone who joined us for such a meaningful ribbon-cutting ceremony. Your support made this day incredibly special for our entire team.

Under the leadership of eyewear industry veteran Harvey Ross — who has spent more than 60 years helping shape the global eyewear industry — OPTYX continues its mission of combining advanced eye care with world-class eyewear and meaningful community impact.

We are especially proud to launch our “Gift of Sight” initiative alongside Dr. Melissa Carr and the Port Washington School District to help identify children in need of eye exams, frames, and lenses because clear vision plays a critical role in learning and confidence.

We are also honored to introduce our First Responders Program in support of the new Port Washington police station and the men and women who serve this community every day.

And a personal thank you again to Adina Genn. So many journalists today simply report the facts and move on — but this story felt different. You took the time to truly understand the heart behind what we are building in Port Washington, the people behind it, and the deeper purpose driving this next chapter. That meant a great deal to all of us.

The future is bright, and we are honored to continue Framing New Yorkers Since 1971.

Optyx New York, a luxury eyewear and eye exam provider, has opened a new location at 102 Main Street in Port Washington, its 13th in New York. Another Optyx is slated to open in East Hills this summer. The company is led by Harvey Ross, who said he spent 60 years in the industry, first
