A scratched eye can be painful and frustrating, but quick care can make a difference. If you suspect an eye scratch, don’t rub the eye. Gently flush it with clean water or saline and protect it until you can see an eye doctor. Watch for increasing pain, light sensitivity, or changes in vision, and seek care right away if these occur. Your eye health matters.

Happy New Year from all of us at Mississippi Retina Associates! As we begin 2026, we remain committed to protecting the vision and quality of life of our patients across Mississippi through advanced care, research, and innovation. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your care journey. We wish you a bright and healthy start to the year ahead.

New Year’s celebrations should be joyful, not dangerous. Champagne corks can cause serious eye injuries if they pop unexpectedly. When opening a bottle, keep it pointed away from faces, cover the cork with a towel, and twist slowly to stay in control. If an eye injury does occur, seek urgent care right away. Protecting your vision helps ensure the new year starts safely.

As we close out 2025, our team at Mississippi Retina Associates would like to thank our patients, staff, and community for another wonderful year of trust and support. Our offices will be closed on Wednesday, January 1 in observance of New Year’s Day. We look forward to continuing to provide the highest level of retinal care and research in 2026. Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year’s Eve filled with laughter, gratitude, and good health.

Good vision starts from the inside out. A healthy diet filled with colorful fruits, leafy greens, and omega-3s can help protect your eyes and support long-term vision health. At Mississippi Retina Associates, we encourage our patients to take small, consistent steps toward better eye health every day. Nourish your body and your eyes as you head into the new year. #EyeHealth #HealthyVision #RetinaCare

Fresh powder, clear slopes, and eye protection. Don’t forget that last one! ❄️ Whether you are skiing, snowboarding, or enjoying winter sports this holiday season, protective eyewear is key to keeping your vision safe. At Mississippi Retina Associates, we remind our patients that impact-resistant goggles do more than block wind and snow. They also help prevent serious eye injuries. Stay safe, have fun, and see every moment clearly. #EyeSafety #WinterVision #ProtectYourEyes
