👀🎁 December is Safe Toys and Celebrations Month! 🎉🍾 Did you know that roughly 1 in 10 children's eye injuries treated in the ER are caused by toys? This holiday season, let’s prioritize safety while celebrating and gifting! Here are some quick tips to keep everyone’s eyes protected: 🎁 Choose toys wisely: Look for age-appropriate toys without sharp edges or small parts that could cause harm. Avoid projectile toys like darts or slingshots. 👶 Supervise play: Especially with younger children, ensure toys are used safely and as intended. 🍾 Be cautious on NYE: Opening champagne bottles can create unexpected hazards. Always point the cork away from people, and open bottles at a 45-degree angle. Let’s make this a season full of joy, not ER visits. Protecting our eyes is a gift we can give all year round! #SafeToys #Optometry411 #HolidaySafety #EyeHealth #VisionCare

Online reviews can make or break a small business. We can’t ignore the power of platforms like Google, Yelp, and Facebook, where a few negative reviews can influence people away from your practice (and hinder your earning power). Every review, whether positive or negative, offers a chance to demonstrate your commitment to patient care. ⭐As a goal for 2025, consider a renewed focus on your online presence, including reviews. Check out 5 essential steps you should take when dealing with all your online reviews, especially any negative ones: https://lnkd.in/g3kCCCFH #optometryreviews #eyecareprofessionals #optometrytips #eyecarebusiness #optometrymarketing #patientreviews #eyecarepractice #optometrists #practicemanagement #optometrysuccess #optometryadvice

As ECPs, staying informed about viral phenomena is always a good idea. You have an important role to play in dispelling myths and educating patients about what constitutes effective eye care — and what doesn’t. If you remember, we started 2024 hearing about some truly bad ideas like mucus fishing and sun gazing. What’s been going on since then? Are there other viral trends or eye health misinformation you should know about? Of course there are.

This week is dedicated to raising awareness about Geographic Atrophy (GA), an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that can lead to vision loss.

Early detection and patient education play pivotal roles in slowing progression and supporting those affected. Let’s use this week to share knowledge, highlight cutting-edge research, and advocate for our patients by emphasizing the importance of comprehensive eye exams. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against GA. #GeographicAtrophyAwareness #EyeCare #Optometry411 #AMD #VisionHealth #EyeCareProfessionals
