Employee Spotlight... Matt

Employee Spotlight


Hey all!  Today we're going to post our first ever, Employee Spotlight.

The idea is to just provide a little bit of info about one of us, for a nice, light, entertaining bit of reading material. 

Matt was selected to be the lucky number one!  Matt does a variety of things around the office. A great team player!  He is very well trained in each area, so he is always more than welcome to bounce around from space to space; in hopes of helping anyone and everyone out, in the office. Jack of all trades if you will!
 Matt is one of two, Patient Technicians in the office.  He handles a majority of our contact lens ordering, stocking and sorting, in the office.  He works with patients on the insertion and removal of contact lenses. 
I have taken a little bit of time, to sit down with Matt and ask him some basic questions.  He's got such a great attitude and personality, needless to say, it was quite an entertaining 
'interview' process. 

So here we go.. 

  • What is your favorite part about working for EHS?
* I love that being in a smaller community, when I'm out and about, I have the opportunity to see patients, that I've been able to help in our office, with their vision needs. 

  • What are you most afraid of?
* I do NOT like heights, whatsoever!

  • If given a chance, for one day, who would you like to be?
* I would like to be a Jedi... Luke Skywalker.  I want the force to flow through me.  Oh wait, the force is already around us, I just want to manipulate it. 

  • What is your favorite movie? (Matt is a movie fanatic, I'm shocked he can pick just ONE!) 
* Schindler's List

  • So.. if you had to pick just one, what would your favorite line be from a movie?
* "Allow myself to introduce.. myself.  My name is Richie Cunningham and this is my wife, Oprah" -  Austin Powers : International Man of Mystery


I hope everyone had a good read and/or chuckle!  Until next time......
Thanks for tuning into Eye Health Solutions

EAT YOUR WAY TO BETTER EYE HEALTH

Eat Your Way to Better Eye Health If you’re like most people starting the new year, you may have made a resolution to eat healthier in 2023.  Whether you’re starting to fall off the wagon or holding strong, it’s never too late to start eating well.  There are several vitamins and nutrients specific to the health of the eyes, and chances are, what is good for the eyes is also good for your overall health. 1. Vitamin A     - Required for the formation of rhodopsin, a pigment found in the retina that allows us to see in low-light        conditions.  Deficiency could cause "night blindness" due to impaired dark adaptation.     - Supports healthy functioning of surfaces in the eye like the cornea and conjunctiva.  Deficiency could lead to        dryness and corneal scarring.     - Good sources : orange-colored fruit and vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, and apricots. Eggs   ...

  Welcome Dr. Rachel Browne To EHS!!   Hello there! Dr. Rachel here. Last week marked two months since joining Eye Health Solutions and what a busy time it has been getting to know my way around the office.  Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me thus far, and to those who continue to trust me with their eye care needs. If I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting you, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rachel (Barnes) Browne and I am the “new” optometrist here at Eye Health Solutions. This coming May I will have been in practice for 10 years, and I am thrilled to continue my career working alongside exceptional physicians like Dr. Jason and Dr. Lily.  I really enjoy working with patients of all ages - infants to seniors - and I love that every day is different than the next.   I was born and raised in Pella, where I currently reside with my husband, Dustin, and our three children: Taylen (8), Noah (5), and Eden (2).  We love being a part of a small co...

Dangerous Generic Artificial Tears

-
  I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I wanted to take a moment and talk about the recalled artificial tears that you may have heard about on the news. I have had a few calls from patients over the last couple of weeks about these. They are Ezricare non-preserved artificial tears and were recalled on February 2nd. There have been 55 reported infections with 5 people losing vision and one person dying. How can you die from an eye drop you ask... Eye drops, like all medications, are absorbed into the body as well as the eye. In this case the bacteria got into the blood stream and the patient most likely became septic, which is an infection in the blood.  These particular drops are not any I have ever heard of and I have never seen them locally. They are manufactured in India. The particular issue with these is that they are non-preserved so any bacteria that is in the bottle has nothing to stop it from growing. The photos of the drop seem to show a large bottle. The non-pr...
