Since the retina is one of the only places in the body we can easily see blood vessels, a retinal evaluation (performed at every eye exam) can sometimes be one of the first indicators of systemic disease, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and many other possibilities. With the advent of retinal photography, we can sometimes catch subtle changes earlier and better montior changes that may occur over time.

Can your glasses do this?
We are now a proud retailer for OVVO Optics, which will provide you with the latest and greatest engineering in the eyewear industry. Quite literally space-age technology. If you appreciate quality engineering and reliability, we have what you’re looking for.
New Eco Frames!
We just placed a very large order with our Eco rep today, one of our most popular lines! Most Eco frames come with a magnetic sun clip and all are made from recycled materials. Also, for every pair you purchase, the company plants a tree. We should have these new pieces in next week!
HEPA Air Filters, for your safety!
Check out our new HEPA Air Filters/UV Light Sanitation Units we purchased for each examination room, for your safety. Oh, the things you get excited about in 2020 :P
What is Sight Eyecare doing differently post-COVID?
Just a reminder that we are still taking COVID very seriously at our office. We check staff temperatures daily. Our doors are still locked to those without appointments, to ensure that traffic in our office is very minimal to non-existent. Masks are required. We require that all our patients pass a COVID screening/temp check before they are seen. All touched surfaces are thoroughly disinfected between patients. We also disinfect frames after they are tried on, one by one. We have time for this because we are only seeing half the number of patients per day as we were pre-COVID. Your safety is very important to us!
Remote working eyestrain with our "new normal"
Now that remote learning/working are becoming our new norm, I have had a lot of questions about "blue blocker eyeglasses" and if the $20 ones from Amazon will help with eyestrain and headaches. My answer: I guess they won't hurt? HOWEVER, honestly, most the time there is actually a small prescription present (or small imbalance between the eyes) that is contributing to this eyestrain that alone can make quite a difference. We also work with a great lab that can make blue blocker lenses with your Rx in them that actually blocks almost all of that "bad blue light" (whereas most other products on the market only block ~10%). The feedback we've had from our patients with these types of lenses with an actual Rx in them has been incredible! We'd love to help you eliminate your eyestrain and headaches as much as possible if we're able! And, here is a cute kiddo sending out some emails to his clients, while he works from home :P
Call to set up an eyeglass "shopping" spree!
Need new eyeglasses or sunnies? Give us a call so we can set up a one on one browsing appointment for you! All frames are properly disinfected after try ons, for your safety. And you would be the only one in the office browsing! Yes, it’s true! You basically have our shop all to yourself for 30 minutes! A nice little sanitary, “Covid19-world” shopping experience for you! Just don’t forget your mask! ;)
