.Anita.


Hello all, the time has come for our next spotlight.  You know the drill.. I'm going to fill you guys up with some 'get to know info' on one of our office employees😉


Anita is a patient technician here at EHS.  Patients will see her before seeing the Doctor's. She runs several tests on patients to prep them for their exam or visit.

She has been an employee at the office for 17 years.  She has done a little bit of everything.. from optical, answering the phone,ordering the pharmaceutical products to contact lens insertion.  
Now she does just focuses on technician work and helps fill in when and wherever is needed.  
She considers herself the office's Physical Plant. She waters flowers/plants, knocks down cobwebs, kills bugs and maintains all of the instruments in the office --
"If something needs fixed, I'm the one"


Here are a few of the questions that I asked Anita..



-What do you like to do in your spare time?


I would love to go to Kansas City every week to see my granddaughter but that isn't possible. I enjoy skyping with her. She is such a joy! Being with family is a high priority! 
I love being outside, planting flowers, gardening,  mowing, keeping my yard up nice. I have several flower beds I take care of. They are a lot of work but I totally enjoy them.
I like to go too garage sales. Nothing is better than finding that great bargain that you can't live without!
We also like to go fishing, and to the sprint car races.

- Are you afraid of anything, if so, what is it?

I am afraid of a mouse! I can kill a snake a spider but a little mouse I can not  handle. I get anxiety just thinking about it. 


-Do you recall an embarassing moments at work?


Yes, but we won't go there!

-Name your favorite band...


I don't have any certain  one, I like the older country songs! George , Reba, Clint, Garth, , Tim McGraw. The band I still remember  would be my first concert-The Beach boys we went to there concert at the Iowa State Fair and we were standing right by the stage. Unforgettable concert! 


-List 3 things to describe yourself...

Not sure about this, people have told me that I am Crafty, Polite, Independent




Welp, there you have it.  I hope everyone enjoyed learning a little bit more about Anita!  Until the next time.. take care and I hope everyone has a nice, safe long weekend.

       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
