Vision Source


You might have heard of Vision Source before, or you may not have. Vision Source is a buying group we belong to that offers us and our patients many benefits. It is an organization with offices all across the United States.
  • Due to its size, Vision Source offices are able to get discounts on products and service and are then able to pass that savings on to their patients.
  • They are also able to get the latest technologies.
  • Vision Source offices are great for patients because they know they are going to a trusted doctor and office when choosing a Vision Source office.
  • If patients are ever traveling or relocate they know they can get the same great care from a Vision Source office in their new area as they did from their last office.
  • They offer the national brand awareness of a chain, but with the benefits of a family practice, such as meeting the ever changing needs of their local consumers.
We pride ourselves on the quality of the care our patients receive at our office and we are confident that our Vision Souce partners deliver the same quality of care to their patients.

New Vera Bradley Patterns!

Vera Bradley is one of our great frame lines we carry in the office. One of the best characteristics of the line is that they always incorporate Vera Bradley's new patterns into their frames. For the cherry on the cake, each frame comes with a case with the corresponding pattern! They make girls, girlfriends, and women's sizes.
We just got in two new ones I wanted to tell everybody about.
We have the Cara in the new Rosy Posies and we have Paula in Indigo Pop! (Shown in that order). Feel free to click on the pictures for a more detailed view of the frames and stop in to try any of them on. They have already been very popular frames!

World Sight Day Challenge: Recap

We had a great World Sight Day and a great October. We even had lots of people donate and not take treats home. We wanted to send out a big thank you to everybody who participated, by donating or by buying something from our bake sale. I want to send out a thank you to my co-workers who spent their time and resources making our baked goods. They were wonderful and we had a great mixture of items!



We were able to raise $40.52 through our bake sale! That is 40 cookies, rice crispie treats, bars, popcorn, and cake.

 
So what does $40.52 do for those in need? We were able to give eight people vision through eye exams and glasses!
 
Thank you again for everybody who participated. If you didn't get a chance to participate and want to, just show up any time during the year to donate at our front desk.
