Hey, hey all!  The time has come for our newest, latest post... and the lucky winner is, 
LYDIA! 🙋

Lydia is part of the front desk team here at EHS.  She has been with us for almost ✴6 years✶ coming up in August 2017.  She is very helpful throughout the office.  She also helps out as a technician/scribe; when needed and is starting a new journey, of learning the insurance world.  Best of luck to her, for that is a field of constant change!



After selecting Lydia to be the 'chosen one'.. she knew what came next.. QUESTIONS?? 😆
I decided to take it easy on her, so here are her responses...

  • What is your favorite season and why?
L:  My favorite season is a toss up between spring and fall.  I love when everything comes back to life outside and getting to be outdoors and garden.  I also love fall as its a little less of a busy time and enjoy watching football and hunting, etc.

  • Tell me, what is your biggest pet peeve...
L:  When people are unorganized/procrastinate

  • 3 words to describe yourself:
L:  Honest, caring, type A 😀

  • Where are you from/ Where is your hometown?
L:  Husband and I are from a small town in Northeast Missouri-we moved to Bussey about 6 years ago.

  • What do you like most about working at EHS?
L:  It's hard to name just 1 thing I like about working at EHS. From day 1, I have felt like part of the team and we're like a family here.  Also, I never realized before working here how much your eyes can tell about your overall health-It's amazing helping patients not only with their vision but with their systemic health as well.

  • Do you have any hobbies/ What do you like to do in your free time?
L:  Ha...free time...what is that!?!!?!?  We stay busy with our 2 boys-Barrett who is 4 1/2 and Hoyt is 7 months.  My husband and I love the outdoors so any activities-hunting, fishing, gardening, etc-we enjoy doing as a family.  



I hope everyone enjoyed learning a little bit about Lydia.  We are happy to have her as part of our team!  Until next time..  Happy Wednesday!

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 literature published to show harmful effects

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        and yogurt. Green leafy vegetables and liver. 2. Vitamin C     - Neutralizes damage

  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
