A few things about Dr. Beard to get to know him be

A few things about Dr. Beard to get to know him better, in his own words! 🎉🎉

1️⃣ I grew up in St. George, went to Dixie High, and did my undergrad degree in woodwind music performance here at DSU. 😲That's where my beautiful wife and I met where she was a piano performance major.

2️⃣ My wife and I both love to cook and watch food shows. 🌮🥗🥘There's also a famous Chef named James Beard, so there must be something in the name that makes you love food.

3️⃣ I love to read! 📚Fantasy and Sci-fi are my favorite genres, although as I get older a good how-to book is really interesting; something as a kid I swore I'd never say!

Glaucoma and your eyes! Our eyes are amazing! The

Glaucoma and your eyes! Our eyes are amazing! They function in a variety of extremely complicated processes. The many intricate details of their function, although fascinating, also lend themselves to many opportunities for errors. If even one component falters, it can greatly impact your vision. The pressure inside your eye, for example, can change quickly and impact your vision permanently. Glaucoma is a condition where the ocular pressure is so high that it causes damage to the optic nerve, resulting in permanent vision loss.

It’s in the eyes! You can see a lot of things with your eyes, and we can see a lot of things through your eyes as well! Did you know that Dr.Smith can catch early/starting signs of macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal holes and even diabetes through our “Eyescreen” camera? The screening is a picture of the back of your eye ie. your retina and macula! Dr smith will go through your picture with you on our big screen so you can see and understand all the cool elements that go into how you’re able to see! Call to schedule an exam and eyescreen today!

RXable goggles. We carry them! We know it can be easy to just want to go swimming with your contacts but it can be very dangerous and detrimental. Chlorine can be absorbed by your contacts and cause irritation and contacts to be difficult to remove. Certain bacteria and parasites (Acanthamoeba) can also get trapped in your contacts and cause permanent visual impairment or blindness. Wiley X goggles give you perfect vision above and below water without having to take any risks!

A question we get a lot is “What is polarization

A question we get a lot is “What is polarization?”. Polarization is a virtually invisible filter that eliminates the amount of reflective light entering the eye. Although polarization can help reduce glare it’s main purpose is to make images appear clearer and sharper, increasing visual clarity and comfort. These videos using one of our Maui lenses demonstrates the ability of polarization!

You can look at someone's eyes and tell their mood

You can look at someone's eyes and tell their mood, their level of stress, or even how well they slept the night before! When you come in for your annual eye exam, your eyes say even more than that to Dr. Smith. When he takes a closer look at your eyes, he can detect early warning signs for several serious, (and sometimes painless) and chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, cancers, multiples sclerosis and high cholesterol, to name a few. Each of these conditions manifest telltale signs in the eyes, and often vision care professionals are the first to notice them. When early detection of serious diseases occurs during an annual eye exam, progression of the disease may be prevented or slowed. Sometimes, it may even save a life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you ever heard the famous quote from Shakespeare, "The eyes are the window to your soul"? Well, it turns out that your eyes are the window too much more than that. Check back tomorrow as we share how an annual eye exam can help identify serious health conditions.

Anyone know where this is? See answer in the comments.

TIP #5: Digital Eye Strain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Light! Working in a well lit area will cause your eyes to not work as hard. This includes your screen. A bright screen causes pupils to constrict which allows for a greater range of focus. This will help you work longer and with more comfort as your eyes work less. A bright screen also reduces the flicker rate of your screen. The flicker rate can lead to headaches, eyestrain and fatigue.

TIP #4: Digital Eye Strain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Try a pair of glasses specifically for computer use. Get a custom pair of prescription glasses that are made for specific purposes, like computer use. Wearing glasses that are designed for the exact distance of your digital screen will help your eyes focus better and relieve some of the strain experienced.

TIP #3: Digital Eye Strain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear glasses with a blue light blocker. Blocking some of the blue light that radiates from your digital screen helps to relax your eyes. Blue light has been shown to be harmful to the retina, the sensitive back part of the eye. If you know you will be staring at the screen for a long period of time, you will want to put blue light blocking lenses on.

TIP #2: Digital Eye Strain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Blink Frequently. We tend to blink less often when focusing on a digital screen which causes our eyes to become dry and irritated. Make sure you are blinking often and allowing the natural oils and liquids produced by blinking to rejuvenate and freshen your eyes.

TIP #1: Digital Eye Strain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's not uncommon for our eyes to get tired after too much screen time. If you spend over 2 hours per day looking at a digital screen (computer and/or phone), you may notice your eyes beginning to feel heavy with strain. We rounded up a few tips to help your eyes from getting digital eye strain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take a break. The 20-20-20 rule can be a great guideline to follow. To help reduce digital eye strain, take a break every 20 minutes and look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This allows your eyes to work in different ways, forcing them to focus at a different distance, and allows them a break from the computer screen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
