A Total Eclipse Of The Sun..(Maybe The Heart too)

7/28/2017

0 Comments

 

What Exactly is Going On With This Eclipse Thing?

  • The total solar eclipse will peak on August 21st between 2:27-2:29 p.m., depending on the office location in our communities, and last approximately 2 minutes 40 seconds.
  • The epicenter to view the eclipse is Hopkinsville, Kentucky which will experience a 100% total eclipse and is having a four day festival around the event. They’ve adopted the name Eclipseville in honor of the event.

It's kind of a big deal
  • The next total eclipse that will cross the entire continental U.S. won’t happen again until 2045. This is the first total solar eclipse visible across the U.S. since 1918. The last total solar eclipse, like this one, that was only visible from the U.S. was 1776 (was it destiny, perhaps?).

11 reasons your glasses need to be made by an eye doctor

12/28/2015

11 Comments

 
Today, almost anything can be bought online including your prescription glasses. The rise of various websites has allowed for people to shop for their glasses from home.  So, you're asking yourself why should I buy my prescription glasses from my eye doctor instead of just going through a website?

​Let's look at eleven reasons why getting your glasses through an optometry practice has distinct advantages to current online options.
Picture
1. Using your vision insurance for your prescription glasses without dealing with the insurance company on your own

Vision insurance is important for many of our patients and that's why we are in-network with nearly all major insurers.  When you come to any of our offices, we take the time to look up your insurance and notify you of your benefits.  It's authorized immediately and your benefits are explained to you. There's no need to fill out any reimbursement form or try to understand your benefits on your own.  

We are credentialed and authorized providers for nearly all vision insurances.  Certain types of vision insurance, through the state or federal governments, need a knowledgeable professional to make sure everything is filed correctly. Let us handle the insurance and file it correctly the first time without you ever dealing with the insurance company.

2. Ability to choose from over 1,000 frames that you get to hold in your hands and feel how they fit on your face

The beauty of an actual store is that you get to really see the frame and not just look at it on a screen. How many times have you seen a shirt or pair of shoes in a color you like online, only to be caught off-guard when red magically becomes pink? What exactly does electric crimson look like? At 20/20 EyeCare, you'll know exactly what it looks like because you will hold the frame in your hands, not rely on the pixels in your computer screen.


There's something to be said for holding something in your hands and feeling how the glasses fit on your face. You could try on hundreds of frames if you desire because that's the purpose of a frame showroom. We want you to know what the glasses feel like before you purchase them and give you an opportunity to discover your preferences. Nose pads could be something that you know you need to avoid or you may discover that the extremely lightweight drill mount frames are exactly what you need.  These realizations come with wearing the frames and feeling how the fit on your face.

Will you use it or lose it? Understanding your healthcare spending account to avoid leaving money on the table

11/27/2015

0 Comments

 
We're weeks away from welcoming 2016 and you know what that means; how much money is left in my healthcare spending account and will I have to use it before I lose it? It's always a mad dash to squeeze in healthcare services between all the preparations for the upcoming holidays. To alleviate a little stress, let's focus in on the different kinds of accounts and what eye care services and materials are eligible under them.  Learn how you can pay for your contacts, glasses, and eye exams using these accounts. There are three primary healthcare dedicated spending accounts that we've seen with our patients: FSA, HSA, and HRA.

Using SFX Contact Lenses on Halloween? 7 Tips to Keep Your Eyes Safe, Not Scary.

10/23/2015

3 Comments

Halloween offers each of us a time to transform ourselves into anything we can imagine from our favorite series character (GoT anyone?) to a zombie pirate (like our friend pictured above). Many people use special-effects (SFX) contact lenses to enhance their costume and it's important to treat these lenses like the contacts you wear every day (or better depending on your lens care habits).

​Check out these 7 Halloween contact lens Do's and Don'ts to guarantee the only thing scary this Halloween is your costume:


Do:

Have a valid contact lens prescription (within the last year) from a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist.
Your prescription contains important measurements and the vision correction that you need to make sure that the contact lenses properly fit and allow you to see clearly. Only licensed optometrists and ophthalmologists are authorized to provide this information to you in order to purchase contact lenses.


Only purchase contacts from sellers (online or in-store) that require a prescription.
​If they don't require a prescription, leave the store or website immediately.  Contact lenses are classified by the FDA as medical devices and are only legally allowed to be sold with a prescription. Without those measurements and correction powers on your prescription, there is no way to know if either the contact lenses will fit or allow you to see clearly. More than likely, they may cause injury and discomfort due to this lack of important information.
