With the uncertainty and disruption brought on by the #COVID19 pandemic, it’s understandable that many individuals have put off routine health or vision care. Unfortunately, this can have unintended consequences for patients, as chronic conditions could worsen and new conditions may go undetected early on, when diseases are most easily treated. At Acuity Eye Group, we understand the seriousness of COVID-19, which is why we’ve instituted a number of precautions to ensure we can continue to care for you safely, such as conducting temperature checks, requiring masks, and enforcing social distancing in our waiting rooms. #acuityeyegroup #ophthalmology #healthcare #eyecare #optometry
Not every disability is visible. That’s the theme of this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities, where we bring awareness to the unique experiences faced by those with disabilities. While not always obvious to the public, disabilities can have a significant impact on how one experiences the world. Visual impairments remain among the most common forms of disability. Many times, the person may not be wearing glasses or using a white mobility cane as often time...s, the individual retains *some* sight. However, those impacted may be hesitant to disclose the limitations brought on by vision-impairing diseases such as glaucoma, or the neurological impact of a stroke. Every person with a disability has a unique story to tell. #IDPD encourages us to refrain from judgement and listen to those experiences as we work towards building a more inclusive and accessible society. #acuityeyegroup
According to the CDC, #diabeticretinopathy is the most common cause of vision loss among adults in the country. But that's not all: #diabetes can also raise your risk for other vision complications, such as cataracts and glaucoma. Read more about the different forms of diabetic eye disease in our latest blog below.

This week our La Quinta location welcomed Dr. Alvaro Torres to the Desert team! Born in Argentina, Dr. Torres moved to Southern California at the age of 14.

He is trained in managing patients with a number of diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, and retina disease. He looks forward to a long career caring for the eye health of tho...se in the community. Welcome to the team, Dr. Torres! #acuityeyegroup #optometry #cataracts #glaucoma #dryeye #retinadisease #eyecare
For most of us, this Thanksgiving is unlike any we’ve experienced before. During a year where we’ve been called to make great sacrifices, it’s important to reflect on the things that deserve our gratitude. We are #thankful for the healthcare workers and first responders who have worked tirelessly to keep us safe. And we are thankful for our doctors, team members, and patients whose lives we get to impact each and every day. We wish everyone a happy and enjoyable Thanksgiving!

If you feel like daily mask-wearing has left you with dry, itchy irritated eyes, you’re not alone. In fact, a new name has been given to this phenomenon: mask-associated dry eye (MADE). Fortunately, following these simple tips will offer mask-wearers quick relief. #healthcare #dryeye #masks #COVID19 #acuityeyegroup https://www.acuityeyegroup.com/about-us/blog/dry-eye-masks
Today's #FeedbackFriday recognizes Dr. Gollogly and her team in La Mesa. Congratulations to the team! Thousands of our patients have had their lives changed by #cataract surgery - a short, simple procedure that can take a half hour or less. Ask your eye doctor if cataract surgery is right for you. #acuityeyegroup #ophthalmology #cataracts
This week's #FeedbackFriday comes from our #SanDiego region. It's experiences like these that explain why Dr. Gitane Patel was recently recognized as a #TopDoctor in San Diego. Congrats to Dr. Patel and our #ElCajon Team! #acuityeyegroup #ophthalmology #healthcare
Don't forget to add the flu shot to your list of fall activities! Flu season is upon us and staying healthy has never been more important. Ensuring you get the #flushot is one of the best ways you can protect yourself and your loved ones while doing your part to minimize the burden on our healthcare systems currently fighting #COVID19. Remember, the flu shot takes two weeks to take effect, so don’t wait! The sooner you get vaccinated, the less likely you’ll get sick, and the ...less likely you’ll have severe symptoms if you do get sick. #acuityeyegroup #healthcare #fighttheflu #fluvaccine #fluseason #publichealth
Happy #FeedbackFriday! Today's review comes from our #LongBeach location. It's difficult to overstate how important healthy vision is to a child's learning and development. Wondering if your child needs to see an eye doctor? Most children should have their eyes examined at age 3, then every two years as they enter school age. #acuityeyegroup #ophthalmology #pediatrics #pediatricophthalmology #eyecare
Today's #FeedbackFriday comes from a patient in our Downtown Los Angeles office. Congrats #DTLA! As mentioned in this review, all of our locations are enforcing a number of precautions in order to keep both you and our team members safe. This includes requiring all patients and staff wear masks, conducting temperature checks, and enforcing social distancing. #acuityeyegroup #covid19 #ophthalmology #healthcare

We are thrilled to announce that a number of our physicians have been recognized as a #topdoctor in Pasadena, Los Angeles, and San Diego for the 2020 year. Healthcare research firm Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors, and careful screening of doctors’ educational and professional experience is essential before final selection. Congratulations to our doctors on this impressive achievement!... #acuityeyegroup #ophthalmology #healthcare #pasadena #losangeles #sandiego
In the last 70 years, the incredible evolution of #intraocularlenses and #cataractsurgery has returned the gift of sight to millions of individuals. Dr. Jessica Boeckmann, recorded here performing a successful surgery that took less than ten minutes, is proud of work she does and its positive impact on patient lives.
Is there something you're overlooking in your prescription medications? Because the structures of our eyes are so complex, they can be especially prone to side effects from even the most common medications.

As the #CaliforniaFires continue to burn throughout both northern and southern regions of the state, it's not just flames that we need to worry about; wildfire smoke continues to impact the air quality of millions and is leaving many of us with itchy, dry, and irritated eyes. We've assembled a few tips to combat the ocular symptoms of irritation brought on by wildfire smoke. We'd also like to include a friendly reminder to follow all local advisories regarding evacuations. Stay calm and stay safe, everyone!
