We are pleased to announce that our doctors are now certified to fit Paragon CRT lenses! These specialty contact lenses (also called "Ortho-K") are worn overnight so that you may see clearly in the daytime without glasses or contacts. They are approved to correct near-sightedness in children and adults, and may also slow down the progression of myopia in kids. Learn more about these lenses! https://www.paragonvision.com/

We are excited to offer our new line of Burberry frames and Nike sunglasses! Come check them out!

8 Tips For Eye Allergy Sufferers 1) Get an early start. See your eye doctor before allergy season begins to learn how to reduce your sensitivity to allergens. 2) Try to avoid or limit your exposure to the primary causes of your eye allergies. In the spring and summer, pollen from trees and grasses are the usual suspects. Ragweed pollen is the biggest culprit in late summer and fall. Mold, dust mites and pet dander are common indoor allergens during winter. 3) Protect your eye...s from airborne allergens outdoors by wearing wraparound-style sunglasses. 4) Don't rub your eyes if they itch! Eye rubbing releases more histamine and makes your allergy symptoms worse. 5) Use plenty of artificial tears to wash airborne allergens from your eyes. Ask your eye doctor which brands are best for you. 6) Cut down your contact lens wear or switch to daily disposable lenses to reduce the build-up of allergens on your lenses. 7) Shower before bedtime and gently clean your eyelids to remove any pollen that could cause irritation while you sleep. 8) Consider purchasing an air purifier for your home, and purchase an allergen-trapping filter for your heating/cooling system.

At long last, we are happy to announce that Fruitvale Optometry will now be open 7 days per week, with extended Dr. hours during the week. All in all, we are adding 13 Dr. hours to the schedule. We hope that this will reduce some of the overcrowding our patients have commented on and make it more convenient for you to be seen at a time that is convenient for your schedule.
