A sudden shadow in your vision? That could be more than just a trick of the light. Sudden flashes, new floaters, or a dark curtain creeping across your sight may be signs of a torn or detached retina—a serious eye emergency. If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Immediate attention from a retina specialist can protect your vision. Early action saves sight.

School’s out. Screen time is up... and your child’s eyes might feel the strain. Too much time on phones, tablets, and games can lead to digital eye fatigue—even in young eyes. This summer, try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. And don’t forget—summer is a great time to schedule that annual eye exam before the back-to-school rush. #HealthyVision #KidsEyeHealth #DigitalEyeStrain #SummerTips #OphthalmologyCare

June is UV Safety Month – and a great time to remember that your eyes need sun protection too.
Long-term UV exposure can increase the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Before you head outdoors this summer: 🕶️ Choose sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays
👒 Add a wide-brimmed hat for extra protection
🌤️ Stay in the shade during peak sun hours Protect your eyes like you protect your skin—your future vision depends on it. #UVSafetyMonth #EyeHealth #VisionProtection #Ophthalmology #HealthyVision
