2020: Year of THE EYE EXAM

How often should you get your eyes checked? The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends annual eye exams.   If you don’t get an eye exam every year, your eyes will usually tell you when they need help.  If you find yourself rubbing your eyes a lot or holding things as far from (or as close to) your face as possible to see them clearly, it’s probably time to see your eye doctor. 

Comprehensive eye exams are one of the most important, preventive ways to preserve vision and overall health - make 2020 your year of the eye exam!

HETEROCHROMIA

HETEROCHROMIA: What is it?

Heterochromia is when a person’s irises are different colors. There are a few kinds of heterochromia. Complete heterochromia is when one iris is a different color than the other. When part of one iris is a different color than the rest of it, this is called partial heterochromia. Central heterochromia is when there is an inner ring that is a different color than the outer area of the iris. It doesn't typically affect the person's vision and is benign.
