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...

My contacts are poisonous? Not so fast.

       Recent media coverage has brought attention to a report claiming that 18 soft contact lenses from three major companies in the industry were found to contain PFAS or toxic "forever chemicals".  Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of synthetic chemicals used in a variety of consumer products for their ability to resist heat, stains, and water. They are referred to as "forever chemicals" because they break down very slowly and can accumulate in people, animals, and the environment over time.  This has prompted concern about potential long-term health effects - studies have shown that high levels of exposure to some PFAS may be linked to increased risk of cancer and other adverse health issues.      In contact lenses, PFAS are used to soften the material and enhance oxygen permeability.  So, you might be wondering, are my soft contact lenses safe to be wearing?     Currently, there is no scientific litera...
