Year-At-A-Glance

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month – Glaucoma is a dangerous eye disease in which the fluid pressure in your eye becomes so great that the blood flow to your eye is decreased. We evaluate every patient for glaucoma during every eye exam. Make your appointment today!

February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration Month (ARMD) – Macular Degeneration is an incurable eye disease where the macula (part of the retina responsible for sharp, clear, straight-ahead vision) is broken down. It is the leading cause of blindness in the aged 55 and older. Our doctors provide comprehensive eye care for patients with this disease. We evaluate every patient for ARMD during every eye exam. Make your appointment today!

March is Dry Eye Month – If your eyes feel dry, scratchy, and irritable – you may be experiencing dry eye syndrome. Other symptoms might include blurred vision and excessive tearing. Excessive dry eyes can damage eye tissue and scar the cornea, impairing vision. We offer several options to treat dry eye syndrome including the popular choice – punctual plugs. Call the Stine Eye Center today for more information at (715) 241-2020.

  1. Polycarbonate or Trivex Lenses – These tough lenses can prevent 90% of eye injuries.

August is Back-to-School Month – Since nearly 80% of everything children learn depends on healthy vision, a comprehensive eye exam by an Optometrist is the best way to detect any visual problems or eye health disorders that could affect your child’s ability to learn. At Stine Eye Center, we’d like to remind you that back-to-school time also means time to have your child’s vision and eye health examined. We care as much for our “Little People” as we do for our “Big People”!
