Eyeland Vision

College students often have a lot on their plates. But a busy academic life is no excuse to take shortcuts with eye health.

Many potential eye problems can strike anyone, and college students and other young adults should be especially careful about a few things related to their vision.

Digital eye strain is real and can make you really uncomfortable. Staring at any device for too long can make your eyes feel dry and tired, which can cause blurred vision.

Some good strategies to reduce eye strain include:

- Alternate reading an e-book with a paper book.
- Look up and out the window every two chapters.
- Avoid using a computer outside or in brightly lit areas, because the glare on the screen can create strain.
- Adjust the brightness and contrast of your computer screen so that it feels comfortable to you.
- Use good posture when using a computer and when reading.

At home, or away at school, make sure to have regular eye exams to keep your eyes happy and healthy all year.

Pack your bags, and don't forget your Nike glasses! These stylish frames keep you looking cool and confident all school year long.

An optical illusion is something that plays tricks on your vision.

Optical illusions teach us how our eyes and brain work together to see. You live in a three-dimensional world, so your brain gets clues about depth, shading, lighting, and position to help you interpret what you see. But when you look at a two-dimensional image, your brain can be fooled because it doesn't get the same clues.

Take a look at the optical illusions.

Start the school year off right! Nike frames are designed for comfort and style, whether in the classroom or on the field. Check out our latest collection.

Dear Valued Patients,

I am writing to inform you of my retirement from patient care at Eyeland Vision. Serving you has been an honor and a privilege for which I am deeply grateful.

As I prepare to embark on this new chapter, I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead. I look forward to dedicating more time to traveling, hiking, biking, camping, participating in water sports, and, most importantly, spending time with my family.

During this transition, it is crucial that you continue to receive the best possible care. Therefore, I am proud to leave you in the capable hands of Dr. Andy Do who will continue to care for my patients after my departure. He has my complete trust and confidence in providing exceptional eye care for all of you.

Dr. Andy Do is a native of El Paso, Texas, who graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Human Development and Family Sciences degree. In 2020, he received his doctorate from the Illinois College of Optometry, where he chartered the school’s first student-led mental health group and held executive positions for the Student Association, Orientation Team, and the Private Practice Club. He was awarded the Tsang Family Scholarship and the Cribb Leadership and Service Award for his involvement in the community. In 2021, he completed residency training at the Amarillo Veteran Affairs Hospital in Amarillo, Texas, where he gained a special interest in retina diseases, including diabetes, macular degeneration, and vein occlusions. After being away from El Paso for over a decade, he is thrilled to be back home and a part of Eyeland Vision. He is committed to providing excellent patient care and is eager to see you.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives and for the privilege of serving as your optometrist. It has been an enriching experience beyond measure.

With warm regards,
Dr. Phuong Nguyen
