Turns out pumpkins aren’t just for carving! Whether you’re carving one for the porch or adding it to a fall recipe, there’s another reason to appreciate this seasonal favorite. Pumpkin contains nutrients that can be part of a balanced diet that supports eye and overall health.

The scariest part of your Halloween shouldn’t be an eye infection.

Using decorative lenses without a valid prescription can cause serious harm to your eyes, haunting you long after October 31. Lenses purchased without a prescription may not fit correctly and can increase the risk of scratches, corneal ulcers, infection, and even permanent vision loss.

Skip the costume shop or online seller that doesn’t require a prescription. Talk with your doctor of optometry about safely getting decorative lenses instead. Your costume can be scary. Your contact lenses shouldn’t be.

It’s not just about helping patients see better. It’s about getting to know the people behind the prescription. 👓

For Dr. Hollie Hogarth, O.D., building genuine relationships with her patients is one of the best parts of being a doctor of optometry.

Because great eye care starts with seeing the whole person.

That’s Care You Can See.

Your eyes can reveal more about your health than you might think.

During a comprehensive eye exam, doctors of optometry can view blood vessels and nerves inside the eye and may identify signs associated with serious health conditions. It’s another reason routine eye care is about more than seeing clearly.

Protect your vision. Protect your health.

Contact lens wearers: a few small habits can make a big difference. According to the CDC, more than 80 percent of contact lens wearers reported at least one behavior that puts them at risk for a contact lens-related eye infection.

Keep these safety tips in mind:

- Never share contacts with others or use someone else’s contacts.
- Use aerosol products such as hair spray or deodorant before inserting lenses.
- Insert lenses before applying makeup and remove them before taking makeup off.

And always see your doctor of optometry to make sure your lenses have the correct prescription and fit. Save this as a reminder for your contact lens routine!
