Let’s Talk Dry Eyes
We are so excited for the opening of our new location right here in Hartford. At this location not only will we be performing excellent full comprehensive eye exams but we will also be launching our dry eye spa, the first of its kind here in Hartford. With the increased use of digital screens, contact lenses, cosmetics and medications, dry eyes are becoming a more common occurrence in our day to day life. Dry eyes can range from mild to extremely irritating and obviously affects the health of our eyes and ultimately our vision. So our mission at Serenity I Care is to make our patients eyes happy again by managing and treating the causes of dry eyes.
To celebrate our opening, we are going to use the months of October to December to educate our patients about Dry eyes and showcase the treatments we will be offering our patients to help make their eyes happy again. We will look at the major causes of dry eye and advise on how to manage the cause and treat the signs and symptoms. We invite you to join us in this celebration and apart from all the information you will receive you also will have an opportunity to win fantastic prizes in house, so be sure to pay us a visit, you might get a great surprise. We invite you to check our website weekly to see the new information we will put up and also invite you to come visit our new practice where we would love to talk to you at about your particular story.
This week we will be discussing how looking at digital screens can lead to dry eyes. We feel that with a lot of us working from home and most of our children doing distance learning, it will be a most apt topic and hopefully we can give you a lot of new information. So come along with us and Make Your Eyes Happy Again.
