Happy New Year!

I like to take the time at the beginning of the year to think about where I am going on purpose.   A lot of times, we feel that life is just happening to us, but that is not the case.  We are all living the life that we ourselves have created.

A nasal spray!?!?!? Wow.  You won't need to be putting more drops in eyes that sting and burn.  Yay.  It's something completely different.  This nasal spray that stimulates your body to make its own real natural tears.  ...

Because it's the week of Thanksgiving, I wanted to take a moment to really give thanks for all the blessings in my life and in my business. 

Vision

I am thankful for your vision. To me, vision is the most precious of our five senses.  And, as an eye doctor, I feel that it is my duty to help you protect your vision to the best of my ability.  This is why I talk about caring for your eyes every day as part of your self care routine.  If you are not sure what I am referring to, please check out this blog.  And, my book, Alleviate Dry Eye, is all about the ways in which you can care for your eyes. 

This month is the two year anniversary of the release of Alleviate Dry Eye.  It is available in paperback and in Kindle version on Amazon.  So, if you haven't gotten a copy yet, check it out.  I ...
