October 2022
Friends,

Spooky season is here! Something that scares us is the thought of our patients damaging their eyes. Whether you're cheering on your favorite team on game-day or searching for the perfect jack-o-lantern at the pumpkin patch, the sun's harmful rays are always targeting your eyes. Protect your eyes this season by wearing sunglasses anytime you go outside. They'll even make a great accessory to your Halloween costume!
