👓 Celebrating Women’s History Month 👓

This March, we honor the pioneers who shaped the future of eye care.

One of those trailblazers is Dr. Gertrude Stanton, the first woman licensed to practice optometry in the United States. In the early 1900s, she built a successful optical practice and helped open the door for generations of women in vision care.

Her leadership, independence, and dedication to patient care continue to inspire the profession today.

At our office, we are proud to carry forward the legacy of women who helped build the field of optometry and continue working every day to protect the vision of our community both in Ripley County and Madison, Indiana

✨ Celebrate Women’s History Month with us by scheduling your annual eye exam.

📞 Call us today at 812-689-4721 or book online at heltoneyecare.com to keep your vision clear and your eyes healthy.
