Hey all!  The time has come for another blog!  Perfect read for this rainy, cruddy day!

 This week, I am going to pick on Kelsi aka Chelsea. 
(inside office joke 😁)


 Kelsi was born and raised in Marion County and still a Knoxville resident.  She loves to travel and spend time with her family--> husband Todd and daughter Harper. 

She has been employed by EHS for 16.5 years!  She has a couple of different roles in the office.

 Everyone probably knows her as Kelsi; the Optician --> she helps our patients with the selection of their new eye wear.  She also handles Office Marketing, any radio advertising and operating of the office Facebook page. 


Here are a few fun facts I learned about Kelsi, time to share with you all!

  • What did you want to be when you grew up?
* teacher, travel agent or doing something in the fashion industry, which I have a degree in. 

  • So, if you were stuck on an island, what 3 items are a must to survive?
* my iPhone, some peanut butter and lastly, my daughter Harper.  My flat iron and a pillow to nap on, were top contenders though. 

  • Bucket list... what is on it?
* a real life.. African safari

  • What is a TV show/ movie that you are ashamed to admit that you love?
* The Young & The Restless


I sure hope this brightened everyone's afternoon, stay dry my people!  Until the next time..

       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 literature published to show harmful effects

  The Scary Truth About Costume Contact Lenses This Halloween you may have seen some spooky contact lenses. Costume contact lenses, also known as cosmetic or decorative contacts, are lenses that change how your eyes look by altering the eye’s color or pupil shape. Even though they may be advertised as cosmetic accessories, please keep in mind that  all  contact lenses are considered medical devices by the FDA – this means they require a prescription and proper fitting by an eye care professional, and proper care by the wearer. Purchasing contact lenses without a prescription is illegal in the United States. Only buy costume contacts from retailers who ask for a prescription and sell FDA-approved lenses – not from the gas station down the street, your nearest beauty salon or pop-up Halloween shop. Some cosmetic lenses have been found to be counterfeit or even re-packaged, which is not sterile and could contaminate your eye. Furthermore, one study found costume lenses that tested positiv
