Happy National Diabetes Month! Now Get an Eye Exam.

It’s National Diabetes Month, everyone. We've got an idea for the hottest celebration in town: Eye exams. Don't get too excited. Okay fine — National Diabetes Month is not quite New Years Eve, but the National Institute of Health and the National Eye Institute are making a big push to make sure everyone in America — not just those suffering from or at risk of diabetes gets regular eye exams. For good reasons too. Just look at the stats: Nearly 57 million Americans are at risk of getting diabetes By 2050 nearly 100 million are expected to be at risk of developing diabetes Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults in America Nearly 29 percent of all American adults over the age of 40 with diabetes are…

Buy RevitaLash in October, and Give Back

RevitaLash

Excellent eye care is about more than just high-tech products and services. It’s about people. So here at Carrollton Eyewear and Eyeglasses (ECEW), the end result of each and every one of our Carrollton eye care products and services is empowering people and restoring quality of life. For example, check out the story behind one product we've been proud to sell: RevitaLash, an innovative product for boosting the beauty and fullness of your natural eyelashes, was originally developed as a gift from Dr. Michael Brinkenhoff, an ophthalmologist for 25 years, to his wife, Gayle, while she was undergoing and recovering from chemotherapy treatments. Chemo had made her once full eyelashes fragile, sparse and thin, which, Gayle said, was in many ways even more emotionally traumatic than losing her hair. There’s…

Dr. Mary Anne Peck and ChromaGen Vision Lenses

ChromaGen

Transcription: I am Dr. Mary Anne Peck and I am a ChromaGen provider in Carrollton, Texas. I was invited to participate in a pilot study in February here in Dallas and it was one of the best things I have ever done in the last 25 years of practice. Some of these children had never been able to see words hold still. One little girl kept saying "I hated reading. I hated reading." And I spoke to her afterwards and asked her "Well, how did you do?" And she said "I don't think I can find the right words to say how this helped me." And I was really, really interested because of the number of children we see that have visual difficulties, the number of children that are on…

Happy Cataracts Awareness Month! What You Need to Know

Medical Awareness

August is Cataracts Awareness Month. Here at Eyecare & Eyewear Optometry, our Carrollton eye doctors are celebrating by telling everyone we know everything we know about cataracts. Cataracts — basically, when an eye’s lens gets clouded up — is a persistent menace to the optometry community (in fact, optometrists love spreading awareness about the condition so much that Cataract Awareness Month is also celebrated in June). And it’s a challenge about which we’re determined to spread awareness. Why? Just take a look at the stats: More than 20 million Americans older than 40 years of age are currently suffering from cataracts. That sizable chunk of the U.S. population soars, however, when you look at the elderly: almost 70 percent of Americans over the age of 75 are affected by cataracts.…
