Friends,

Summer is the perfect time to bring your children in for an eye exam before school starts. 1 in 4 children will go back to school this year with an undiagnosed vision problem that could interfere with learning. Set your child up for success and give your child the advantage that comes from good vision.

We love our patients. We are always here for you and welcome your call, email, or visit to our office anytime.

Take Care,

In 1983, a group of hardcore fishermen who spent their days exploring the globe and battling extreme elements came to realize that the sunglasses they were relying on weren’t as hardcore as their adventures. Seeing the world in absolute clarity and protecting their eyes was a must. So when they couldn’t find worthy sunglasses, they decided to build their own. And Costa was born.
Drop by any time to shop our selection of sunglasses!

Let’s go over a few eye safety facts before we all start playing in the water this summer!

There’s nothing like an eye injury or infection to ruin a fun summer day, so make sure to follow these tips to protect your eyes while you enjoy the water, whether at a pool, a water park, or at a natural body of water.

Cataracts are when the clear lens behind the iris (the colored part of the eye) becomes cloudy. The natural lens in the eye is soft and flexible when we are born, but with every birthday it adds a new layer, just like the rings in a tree; as the lens gets thicker and stiffer, it also will eventually get cloudy. Cataracts can happen at any age, and babies can even be born with cataracts. Most people will develop some level of cataract by age 50, and we start to see more and more people getting cataract surgery from age 60 to age 80.

Have you ever seen a patch of shimmering light that widened until it filled your field of vision?

If yes, then you may have had an ocular migraine. They’re usually not something to worry about, but they can be pretty alarming for someone who’s never had one before. The word “migraine” here can be a little misleading because ocular migraines aren’t always connected to painful headaches.
