With just one phone call or appointment, you can be on your way to healthier eyes in the new year. Here are some simple things you can do: 
If you or someone close to you has glaucoma, you probably have questions. What causes glaucoma? Is it safe to use Murine or other over-the-counter eye drops? What if I can’t afford eye drops for glaucoma?
Chances are, you’ve heard of glaucoma. Maybe one of your grandparents had it, or you’ve heard that dogs and cats can get glaucoma. But you’re not exactly sure what it is or how it affects vision. January is National Glaucoma Awareness month, a perfect time to get the facts about glaucoma.
We will also have new designer sunglasses, including frames by Ray-Ban and other top designers for men and women. The Tualatin Sight Shop carries a wide range of designer sunglasses, including your favorite brands for style, quality and comfort. Come in to see our great selection!

Diabetic retinopathy is a serious condition that can cause vision loss, including blindness. The good news is that proper eye care can prevent or reduce its effects. November is Diabetic Eye Disease month, a good time to get the facts on diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetes can lead to serious eye disease and even blindness. You need a comprehensive eye exam —called a diabetic eye exam — at least once a year.
October is Eye Injury Prevention month. As you tackle fall yard work and prepare your home for winter, remember that wearing eye protection is one of the most important ways to protect your vision. About 90 percent of eye injuries could have been avoided with proper eye protection.
October is Eye Injury Prevention Month. It’s a good time to remember that most eye injuries are preventable. Construction workers have one of the highest rates of eye injury, but workers in many other professions are also at risk. Welding, masonry work and laboratory work can all be hazardous to your eye health. And even eye injuries that seem minor can cause permanent vision problems.
Are your eyes tired and dry after a long day? Do they bother you after you’ve been staring at a computer screen, driving or reading? It could be eye strain, a common and often preventable condition. These tips from Oregon Eye Specialists doctors can help you protect your eyes and stay productive at work.
Pink eye is one of the most common eye conditions in children. It can spread easily in schools and day care centers. September is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month, and with kids going back to school, the time is right to learn about pink eye and how to prevent it.
If you’re wondering, “At what age should children first have an eye exam?” you’re not alone. This is one of the most common questions parents ask.

Don’t miss The Sight Shop’s annual Summer Sunglass Sale! Through July, you save 40 percent on sunglass frames (some exclusions apply) and 20 percent on all sunglass lenses. We offer polarized sunglasses, designer sunglasses, and prescription sunglasses at great prices. Plus, get the fit, quality, and custom selection you’ve come to expect from 
your eyes in all seasons, and exposing them to damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. With the dizzying array of fashion choices, though, it’s easy to forget that buying sunglasses should be about eye protection.
Longer days are here, and you’re probably spending more time outside. If your sunglasses have spent the winter in hibernation, it’s time to dig them out.
Spring flowers are usually a welcome sight. But red, itchy eyes can keep you from enjoying the beauty of any season. Many people get a condition called “allergic conjunctivitis,” that can happen with the familiar sniffling and sneezing of seasonal allergies or on its own.
Quick – what’s the first thing you think of in May? Spring flowers, Mother’s Day and graduations, right? At Oregon Eye Specialists, we want you to know that May is also Healthy Vision Month. The National Eye Institute, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, established it in 2003 to raise awareness of eye disease and vision problems around the nation.
