  • Eye Protection at Work

    By Sasha L Radford, OD I tend to be a bit accident prone. I’m no equestrian, but after 2 years of horseback riding lessons I should know not to let the horse get so close to the gate that my knee slams into it, requiring a brace for three weeks. Also, how could I have […]

  • Can’t You See???

    By Janelle J Brown, OD Limited sight does not equate to a limited life.

  • Dry Eye Syndrome – A lot more than meets the eye

    By Sasha L Radford, OD You’d think that something with such a clear name as “Dry Eye Syndrome” would be pretty straightforward. The eyes are dry so let’s moisturize them. Simple, right?

  • What’s the future of your vision?

    By Sasha L Radford, OD Why do you go to the eye doctor? Maybe you aren’t seeing as well as you think you could. Perhaps your glasses are broken or you’ve simply run out of contact lenses. Or you may think your current glasses are unstylish and you’re ready for a new look. You go […]

  • Cataract surgery not as bad as many believe

    By Sasha L Radford, OD   “Hopefully I’ll die before I need cataract surgery.” The number of patients that have said this astounds me. It’s often a challenge to convince patients how quick and painless cataract surgery and its recovery can be. Often patients are so apprehensive they think they’d rather endure poor vision than […]

  • Charting Eye Examinations: From Papyrus to PC

    By Reid A. Pettit, OD To archaeologists, the three primary ages are the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and  the Iron Age.  I come from what could be called the Paper Age, an age which encompassed much of the Bronze and all of the Iron Age.  By deductive reasoning, therefore, I have been around long […]
