About Us

We stress the importance of preventative eye care to protect our patient’s vision and eye health. Research estimates that 80%-85% of our perception, learning, cognition, and activities are achieved through vision. This extremely important sensory organ is also the only part of the body where we can examine working blood vessels, getting a glimpse of your overall health profile.

Spring allergies are in full swing! If you suffer from itchy allergy eyes, this post is for you.

Pataday (olopatadine) was prescription only, is now over the counter, and continues to be one of the most successful drops for eye allergies. It is available as once daily, twice daily and extra strength. The majority of eyes benefit the most from twice daily, and that version is the best value. Current market rate is around $17 for a 5 ml bottle.

Please see the blog on our website for more information and other eye drop options!

Lumify is the first "get the red out" drop that we recommend. Having red, "bloodshot," eyes temporarily is very common. The small blood vessels on the surface of the eye can expand when irritated and cause the white of the eye to appear more pink or red.

The other drops in this category (Visine, Naphcon-A, Opcon-A, Clear Eyes) use a decongestant that temporarily reduces swelling, however can also irritate the eye and commonly leads to a rebound redness that is often worse than before. This can cause a vicious cycle where patients use the drops more and more.

Lumify uses a newer decongestant that also reduces swelling, but has a lower risk of rebound redness.

These drops are for short term use. If you have more than temporary issues with redness, or have questions, please call our office 770.926.2858
