How well can you recognize pink eye (conjunctivitis)? It is a reddish inflammation of the white part (called the conjunctiva) of your eye. If you suspect someone in your home has pink eye, don’t share towels, pillows, or eye makeup until it’s resolved, as bacterial and viral pink eye are very infectious. If you suspect you have an eye infection, please contact us to book an appointment right away.

Why are some people nearsighted? In a regular eye, light enters the eye and is focused on the retina. But in a nearsighted (myopic) eye, light focuses in front of the retina. There’s no cure for nearsightedness, but it can be corrected with glasses or contacts. An eye exam can easily detect nearsightedness. Book your eye exam on our website.
