July is UV Safety Month! ☀️🕶️

Most people remember sunscreen for their skin, but your eyes need protection, too. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can increase the risk of serious eye conditions, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and certain eye cancers.

This summer, make UV protection part of your daily routine:
• Wear sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.
• Add a wide-brimmed hat for extra protection.
• Schedule a comprehensive eye exam to help protect your vision for years to come.

Talk to your Michigan optometrist about the best ways to keep your eyes healthy all year long.

Independence Day is a time to celebrate freedom, unity, and community!

Inflammation from Demodex may cause serious consequences, like DB & MGD. ERSA, a randomized pilot study, evaluated the safety & efficacy of XDEMVY 2x daily, ~12 hours apart, in 20 DB patients with MGD.

Don't wait - assess your patients at every eye exam.
