Football season is here, along with an important reminder about eye safety. After a hit near the eye, watch for changes in vision, flashes of light, new floaters, significant pain, or swelling. These symptoms should never be ignored, even if the injury initially appears minor. Learn when an eye injury may require immediate attention at msretina.com. #EyeSafety #SportsSafety #EyeInjury #HealthyVision

Healthy vision starts with more than regular eye exams. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, and vitamins A, C, and E can help support long-term eye health. A balanced diet filled with colorful fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, and whole foods benefits your eyes as well as your overall health.

Our office will be closed on Monday, September 7, 2026, in observance of Labor Day. As summer comes to a close, it’s a great time to make sure your eye care is up to date. Please plan ahead to avoid delays in scheduling. We will reopen with normal hours the following day.

When it comes to your vision, timely care matters. Many retinal conditions require ongoing monitoring and treatment, and delaying appointments can affect long-term eye health. To help make it easier for patients to keep up with their recommended care, Mississippi Retina Associates now offers appointments one Saturday each month. If weekday visits don't fit your schedule, our monthly Saturday clinic may be the perfect solution. Contact us at 601.981.4091 to schedule yours today.

Getting back to the activities you love after an eye injury or surgery is exciting, but it's important to give your eyes the time they need to heal. Every recovery is different, and returning to sports or other physical activities too soon can increase the risk of complications. Always follow your eye doctor's recommendations and ask questions before resuming your normal routine. Protecting your vision today helps keep you doing what you love tomorrow.

As a new school year begins, many parents are busy checking off school supply lists—but don't forget about your child's eye health. Vision problems can sometimes be mistaken for learning difficulties because children may not realize they're having trouble seeing. Difficulty reading, losing their place on the page, frequent headaches, or squinting can all be signs that it's time for a comprehensive eye exam. Healthy vision plays an important role in helping children learn, read, and succeed in the classroom.
