Employee Spotlight ↕↕


::Deanna::

Hey ya'll!  Happy Friday!  It's perfect weather out there today!  And we're back at it here in the office -->  the time has come again for the next Employee Spotlight!
Deanna is the lucky one selected this week.  Deanna has been an EHS team member for 13 years, coming up this fall.  As always, a few questions were asked/answered.  I hope everyone enjoys getting to know a little more information about our employees!  So here we go...

  •  What is your favorite part about being an EHS employee?  I love working with people.  Seeing new faces every day and helping them pick out the perfect pair of frames is so fun and challenging.  My coworkers and bosses are the best, so coming to work every day is easy!  

  • Best vacation you've taken? After college I took a trip to London, England with friends and it was a blast!  I love history, castles, and great pubs!  

  • People would be surprised if they knew... I grew up on a farm. My parents have a popcorn business called Grubb's Premium Popping Corn.  It's grown right on our Century farm and sold in many local stores and supermarkets.  It's delicious!  

  • What is one thing you cannot resist? Singing to EVERY SONG on the radio, even if I don't know the song. I just have to sing every chance I get! ♪♪

  • Favorite type of cuisine? Sushi!


Very interesting!  I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy a light, afternoon read!  Have a safe weekend and enjoy this perfect weather!  Until next time...

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.

  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...
