It’s that time of the year again! 👀 As we help the Spring Hill TN Lions Club with pediatric vision screenings, just a reminder that these are merely screenings and are NOT A SUBSTITUTE for comprehensive eye exams. Full eye exams for kids involve testing for binocular vision to see if their eyes are working well together as well as eye alignment, color vision testing, dilation, and more to help check overall eye health for disease as well as aid in prescription verification. There is much more to eye exams than just checking vision. Just because one sees 20/20 doesn’t mean their eyes are healthy!

Only those who have small businesses truly understand what it takes to own one. A small business is one that is independent and has less than 500 employees. According to the US Small Business Administration, there are 36,207,130 small businesses in the US, which make up 45.9% of private sector workers. Since 1995, small businesses have accounted for 61% of net new jobs. Women own over 40% of all businesses, over 14 million businesses. Only 67.7% of new businesses survive 2 years, 49.2% survive past 5 years, and less survive beyond that.

WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW—Business owners and their independent businesses CARE about their clients and desire to SERVE them to the best of their abilities because they BELIEVE in the quality of their products. This is why their products are not to be compared with less expensive items found online or in a big box store that can purchase in bulk. We charge more because we are charged more by our vendors. Remember, many small businesses are the ones that support your kids’ sport teams with sponsorships.

DID YOU EVER THINK?—Independent businesses face much STRESS— during periods of low cash flow, over being able to pay employees, pay rent, pay bills, pay off debt, about making clients happy, keeping employees happy, and in healthcare, whether a correct decision was made that could impact someone’s life potentially forever, etc, etc. IYKUK. Small business life is not for everyone.

Both POSITIVE and NEGATIVE reviews matter. Small businesses are not like chain stores—we take to heart all reviews and would especially appreciate any direct feedback (speaking to the owner) prior to posting. Point is…BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE…you say you support local but are you purchasing from your local vendor or are you buying online or from a big box store? THINK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE. THINK BEFORE YOU POST. Your small businesses NEED YOUR SUPPORT more than you know.

What is a glasses prescription? These are the numbers read off the phoropter, the machine with which we ask which is better, 1 or 2?
1) OD, from the Latin words Oculus Dexter, refers to the right eye. OS, or Oculus Sinister, is the left eye
2)Sphere is the amount of nearsightedness (-) or farsightedness (+) in the prescription. Our unit is called the diopter and like a dollar, there are 4 quarters in each diopter. So in our example, there are 3 1/2 diopters of farsightedness in the right eye.
3)Cylinder is the amount of astigmatism in the correction. Astigmatism is curvature in the cornea and/or lens that can cause distortion in your vision, with the horizontal axis at 180 and the vertical, at 90 degrees. In a prescription written by an optometrist, the cyl is negative (-) while ophthalmologists write it with a positive (+) number.
4)Axis is the location of the astigmatism (in degrees) needed to correct the distortion. In our example, the spaces next to the +3.50 are blank so the patient does not have any astigmatism in their right eye.
5)The add is the portion of the prescription for those who have focusing issues or presbyopia (age-related change for 40+ year olds) that helps eyes relax to help them focus. It is always a positive (+) number.
