FREE SHIPPING ON CONTACT LENS ORDERS

img: mint.com

 We love fitting contact lenses! Our doctors still remember wearing and making their own gas permeable (hard) lenses in Optometry School. How times have changed... Though our doctors are experts at fitting and prescribing hard lenses, which includes ortho-k (thats for another post for another day), soft contact lenses are what the majority of patients wear. The business of Optometry has also changed over these years with the internet making things available at the push of a button. We recognize how busy our patients are and have implemented a new policy with contact lens orders. For every patient that orders contact lenses (2 boxes or more), we will give you the option to ship directly to your house FOR FREE!!! Phillips Ranch? Walnut? Diamond Bar? Doesn't matter. We just shipped contacts to a patient that now lives in Chicago! The Garko family holds a special place in our hearts. 

It's just another way to save a trip to your Eye Doctor's office and have them delivered to your doorstep. If you prefer to come in and pick them up you are more than welcome to do so, we'd love to see your smiling face. Just to let you know for the future, we will ask everyone ordering if they would like them delivered to their home. Let us know your feedback on this new change, we'd love to hear it from you. As always thank you for your continued support with our practice.

8 WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR EYES AT THE OFFICE

Everyone seems to be staring at a screen these days, whether their computer, their smartphone or another digital device.

Symptoms include eye fatigue, dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, neck and shoulder pain, red eyes, and eye twitching. How To Protect Your Eyes While You Work Below are a few things you can do to lower your risk or mitigate any discomfort associated with DES. 1. See your eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam This is one of the most important things you can do to prevent or treat symptoms associated with computer vision syndrome. During your eye doctor’s appointment, make sure to speak with Dr. Bladh about your working habits, including the frequency and length of time you use a computer and other devices at work and at home. If you get a chance before you come, measure the distance between your eyes and your comp

ANTI-BACTERIAL ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING BY VSP

Image
If you've spent time at Dr. Bladh's office, you know what anti-reflective (A/R) coating is and does. Back in the early days of optometry, A/R coating was primarily used to get rid of glare when taking pictures and get a clearer view of the world through your lenses. Both solid reasons to commit to adding this product onto your glasses, but there were some flaws. Typically, the lenses were hard to keep clean and often times the coating would peel after several months so scientists went back to the lab and developed newer technology to combat those problems. After perfecting the anti-reflective product, laboratories started to add other benefits to the coating (insert blue-light filters). The most recent advancement has come with the recent COVID-19 pandemic as a way to defend your eyes from harmful blue light rays as well as BACTERIA! Yes you read that correctly; the new blue-light A/R coating has been ISO-certified as anti-bacterial technology. Sound like a gimm

VSP EXTENDS PRIMARY EYECARE BENEFIT TO VSP MEMBERS

Image
Vision Service Plan (VSP) members already have the backing of one of the strongest vision insurance companies in the United States. There are several plans that VSP offers, but one that gets unnoticed the most is their Primary EyeCare plan. This plan allows patients to visit one of the participating VSP doctors for acute and sometimes chronic diagnosis. Think pinkeye, infections, foreign body removal , etc. Instead of waiting for hours at urgent care or the ER to visit someone who might see an eye problem twice in the month, you can instead visit Dr. Bladh, who sees almost 2 eye problems per day. Not only is the experience alone worth the PEC plan, the time you wait to see Dr. Bladh is less than half the time you would wait to see an inexperienced doc at urgent care!  The only problem with the PEC plan under VSPs umbrella of options is the fact that most employers opt out of these services and figure you can go see your primary care physician instead. Well, with the recen
