Updates from Complete Eye Care

It's been a while since our last blog, but we have so many new products and services to share with you! We would like to introduce a new doctor to our office. Dr. Minnich, originally from Avon, Minnesota, received her undergraduate degree in Nutrition Science at the College of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota. She went on to obtain her Doctorate of Optometry at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. Dr. Minnich furthered her optometric education by completing a residency specializing in ocular disease and low vision at the VA hospital in Kansas City. She is passionate about eye care and providing optimal service to all patients. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, exercising and spending time with her husband and son.

November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month

Did you know that approximately 29 million Americans age 20 and older have diabetes? One third of those are at risk for vision loss because they do not even know that they have the disease. Diabetics are 60 percent more likely to develop cataracts and 40 percent more likely to develop glaucoma than people without diabetes. Diabetics are also at risk for diabetic retinopathy, which can result in permanent vision loss if left untreated. Every year 12,000 to 24,000 people lose their sight due to diabetes. The American Optometric Association encourageseveryone to see their optometrist on a yearly basis to ensure early detection of eye diseases and to maintain eye health.

October is Eye Injury Prevention Month

Did you know that over one million people suffer from eye injuries each year? Ninetypercent of those injuries could’ve been prevented by wearing appropriate protective eyewear. Many ordinary activities like mowing the lawn, jump-starting vehicles, or using household chemicals for cleaning can lead to very serious eye injuries. The eye’s delicate tissues are easily burnt by chemicals in detergents and ammonia, and lawn equipment can easily propel debris. Prevention is the first and most important step in avoiding serious eye injuries, so be sure to always protect your eyes with appropriate protective eyewear.

September is Children's Eye Health & Safety Month

Did you know that vision problems affect one in twenty preschoolers and one in four school-aged children? More than 12 million children suffer from visual impairment. Protect your child’s eyes by having them checked by an eye care professional for conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes), which can permanently damage your child’s vision if not caught at an early age.
