Proper eye care is just as important as taking care of the rest of your body. Eye care is more than visiting the eye doctor for regular examinations. Rather, good eye care involves caring for the entire body and staying away from bad habits that may actually have an affect on the eyes. Let's take a look at what's involved in good eye care.

There’s something we understand very well at Total Eye Care; if a child needs eyewear, they need two pair!  Children, by nature, like to have fun and be active.  Unfortunately this very active lifestyle can easily result in eyewear breakage.

When a child’s eyewear is damaged or breaks, your child needs to have a spare pair to wear while the other is being repaired or replaced.  We have designed our Children’s Eyewear Program for kids aged 16 and under around this very concept.

The children’s program starts in the exam room.  Along with their basic eye exam, it’s never too early to begin tracking the retinal health of your children’s eyes, so we are offering a special children’s rate on the new Optomap retinal exam of only $10.00 (a $30 value!).  This retinal exam should be a part of every eye examination.
