By Bryan M Stoller, OD As a young boy I remember watching the cartoon character, Popeye, swallowing spinach like some people guzzle Coca Cola. At that time in my life I would have refused to even bring a fork of spinach within arm’s length of my mouth. No matter how much I would have been […]
By Sasha L Radford, OD Do you get nervous about having your eyes checked? I’ve noticed many patients are anxious about the eye exam. I used to think that visiting an optometrist was a breeze from a patient’s standpoint – you get to stay fully clothed, you don’t get shots or have blood drawn […]
By Janelle J Brown, OD As spring approaches blanketing everything with green buds, we start thinking about new life. What better time to think about the eye care of infants and toddlers? You’ve probably noticed how large an infant’s eyes appear; even though the front portion of an infant’s eyes are 75% of their adult […]
By Sasha L Radford, OD I tend to be a bit accident prone. I’m no equestrian, but after 2 years of horseback riding lessons I should know not to let the horse get so close to the gate that my knee slams into it, requiring a brace for three weeks. Also, how could I have […]

Brown, OD As a patient of Dr. Bryan Stoller’s for years, I was always interested in how the instruments in the office worked, what he was looking for in my eyes, and how he determined the correct eyeglasses prescription. When he allowed me to job shadow during high school, I thoroughly enjoyed […]
By Bryan M Stoller, OD Our eyes are one of our most precious assets. I want you to imagine something. When imagining it always helps to close your eyes. However, if you close your eyes you won’t be able to keep reading. So for now, keep them open and follow along with me. Imagine for […]
By Sasha L Radford, OD Why do you go to the eye doctor? Maybe you aren’t seeing as well as you think you could. Perhaps your glasses are broken or you’ve simply run out of contact lenses. Or you may think your current glasses are unstylish and you’re ready for a new look. You go […]
By Sasha L Radford, OD “Hopefully I’ll die before I need cataract surgery.” The number of patients that have said this astounds me.

Often patients are so apprehensive they think they’d rather endure poor vision than have […]
