CONTINUING EDUCATION

Continually educating staff members in any medical practice is vital to optimum patient care.  Our entire staff remains well-informed in all aspects of the eye care profession.  Weekly staff meetings are held and conferences throughout the United States are attended several times each year.   Staff members enroll in internet webinars and routinely increase their knowledge of the current trends in eye care through reading and research.  

This week, the education portion of our staff meeting took staff members on a "Photo Scavenger Hunt" throughout our office.  Our staff members were divided into teams of two with different departments represented on each team.  each team was given an envelope containing 40 photos of items from throughout the office which were to identified and located...VERY CLOSE photos!  The photos were taken with a digital camera, loaded into photo software on the computer and cropped to a very small portion of the image.  The photos were enlarged.  Each team's envelope contained the same 40 photos and the team which completed the task with the most accuracy would be crowned the most detail-oriented pair in our practice.  

Our doctors taught our interns, our technicians learned from our opticians, and the doctors now know

where more things are located in the front office. We laughed together and learned from one another.

Sunwear Lens Options

With a wide variety of lens options available, you can customize your sun lenses to meet your visual, protection, performance and comfort needs. With sunwear, you can mix and match the following lens options to create functional and fashionable sunwear to fit your lifestyle...

POLARIZED LENSES are the best for eliminating glare and come in several different colors and densities. Polarization eases squinting, eye stress and fatigue by eliminating the glare from water, ice, snow, wet roads and shiny surfaces. Polarized lenses are great for driving!

TINTED LENSES are available in a rainbow of color options from light to very dark. Light tints alone do not make effective sunglasses. Tints can be solid through the whole lens or darker on top fading to lighter or clear at the bottom of the lens.

MIRRORED LENS coatings provide a reflective surface that makes the eye virtually invisible to viewers. The mirrors come in different metallic colors and can be combined with polarized lenses for the ultimate in protection and style.

Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is present even on cloudy days. Quality sunwear provides 100% UV protection and can significantly reduce the risk of vision problems caused by sunlight such as cataracts and retinal damage. Once you have determined your lenses will provide 100% UV protection, you can choose the color of your lenses.

Neutral gray lenses provide the least amount of color distortion and come in various densities from 10 percent to 35 percent gray. Contrast-enhancing brown lenses come in various shades including amber and copper. These lenses are often selected for sports activities requiring enhanced visual detail and contrast, such as golf.

The best features of fashion sunwear and sports-oriented sunglasses have come together in a variety of versatile eyewear solutions. Fashionable eyewear is now available with many of the performance-enhancing features you would find in a tradtional pair of sports-oriented sunglasses. Many frame options and lens choices are available in our optical department.
