Eye Physicians of Southwest Virginia - Bristol

🤓The phrase "20/20 vision" means normal vision 🤓

*A person with 20/20 vision can see what an average individual can see on an eye chart when they are standing 20 feet away

*An eye chart measures visual acuity, which is the clearness or sharpness of vision. The top number is your distance in feet from the chart. The bottom number is the distance at which a person with normal eyesight can read the same line.

*For example, if you have 20/30 vision, it means your vision is blurrier than average. Twenty feet away, you can read letters other people see from 30 feet.

Conjunctivitis (pink eye) Conjunctivitis, casually referred to as “pink eye”, is a swelling or inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thick, transparent layer of tissue that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. Varying causes may or may not be contagious.

Shout out to Dr. Elswick!!!🤩

Diabetes is a disease that affects the body’s ability to produce or use insulin effectively to control blood sugar (glucose) levels. Even if diabetes is well controlled, it can affect your regular eye care.👀

To prevent eye damage from diabetes, maintain good control of your blood sugar. Follow your primary care physician's diet and exercise plan. If you have not had an eye exam, it is crucial to get one now. Be sure to never skip the follow-up exams that are recommended. 😎

Hoping all our Eye Physicians Families have had a great Back To School week!!🍎🎒

DON’T “TOP-OFF” solution!
Use only fresh contact lens solution in your case and never mix fresh solution with used solution. This can disrupt the delicate balance of disinfectants and preservatives in your solution and promote the growth of bacteria.

Hey there, parents! Just a friendly reminder to get your little one's eyes checked. 👁👁Their vision is so important for their growth and development. We all want to keep those little eyes sparkling bright.🤩

😎DID YOU KNOW😎
Photophobia-the term used to describe light sensitivity- typically affects people with light eyes because they have less pigmentation in multiple layers of their eyes compared to their darker eyed peers.

FUN but DANGEROUS !!
Fireworks caused 9 deaths and 11,500 injuries in 2021, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's most recent annual fireworks injury report.
These are some of the most common eye injuries associated with fireworks.

Are you or a loved one experiencing hallucinations after vision loss? You could have Charles Bonnet Syndrome. It is a fairly common occurrence. They can last for minuets, hours or even days.

😎First Official Day of Summer😎
