Hello All! In celebration of my wife and I deciding that Italy is the official destination of our 25th wedding anniversary in 2012, let me say, “Buon Natale!” Well, it happens every year. We preach and preach for all our contact lens patients to follow the prescribed wearing schedule, use the prescribed solutions, and have accurate back-up glasses. As Santa checks his list of naughty and nice, where would you fall when it comes to following your eye doctor’s instructions regarding your contact lenses?

Cary Optometrist a Wise Man?
Greetings and Merry Christmas! Usually this space is devoted to health care issues, or more specifically to eye care topics. Well, not this time!

Race for the Cure
Greetings! I hope that you are all well, and staying cool this Summer. Although, I guess Summer has not officially begun yet, but it sure does feel like it has to me! All of us have family or friends touched by cancer; many have specifically dealt with breast cancer. In our practice, we work with women and families EVERY DAY who either have dealt with or are dealing with breast cancer. This disease affects around one in every nine women in their lifetime. This is a staggering number! In our offices at Triangle Visions, every case of metastatic retinal cancer (more…)
