Wishing you a safe and joyful holiday! #FourthOfJuly #MississippiRetina #EyeHealth #IndependenceDay

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

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice protects the freedoms we hold dear—including the opportunity to care for our communities with compassion and dedication. From all of us at Mississippi Retina Associates, we remember and give thanks 🇺🇸

Not all eye doctors are the same—and that’s a good thing. A retina specialist is a medical doctor with advanced training to diagnose and treat complex conditions affecting the retina, macula, and vitreous. From diabetic eye disease to macular degeneration and retinal detachment, our team is here to help protect and preserve your vision. #MississippiRetina #RetinaSpecialist #EyeHealthMatters #OphthalmologyCare

Happy Easter from all of us at Mississippi Retina Associates! This season of renewal reminds us how important it is to care for our health—and that includes our vision. Whether you're celebrating with family, enjoying the spring sunshine, or simply taking a moment to recharge, we wish you a joyful and peaceful Easter.

April is Sports Eye Safety Month, and we’re here to remind you that vision is worth protecting—on and off the field. Each year, around 100,000 people suffer eye injuries while playing sports. The good news? Most of these injuries are completely preventable with proper eye protection. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a parent cheering on your young athlete, remember: protective eyewear isn’t optional—it’s essential. At Mississippi Retina Associates, we’re proud to help Mississippians preserve their sight with expert care when injuries do happen. #SportsEyeSafety #ProtectYourVision #EyeHealthAwareness #RetinaSpecialist #VisionMatters #YouthSportsSafety
