Everyone... meet Lela



Lela began working with us in August 2019.  She is part of our front desk team.  She will be there to greet you with a smile while you   check in or out.  

Lela has provided us with a little bit of info to help us get to know her on her 
:Employee Spotlight Blog:

Enjoy the info, followed by some random 'This or That' questions



About me:

Although we moved around a lot before I was in first grade, I have called Knoxville my home for over 44 years.  I attended North Star Elementary in 1st grade, East in 3rd and the rest of my education was at Knoxville Regular Baptist School.  

I enjoy baking (which is apparent), reading and watching movies.  My favorite time is Countdown to Christmas on the Hallmark channel. 

My husband and I have been married for 23 years (although, we both jokingly say that it feels like it has been 75-100).  Both of our immediate families live in the area or close by which is very helpful for holidays and get together's.  I love our annual Girls' Day that I spend with my sisters, sister-in-law, mother and nieces.  There just seems to never be enough time in that day for us to do or talk about everything that we want. 

I began working here at the end of August and am in the area of Patient Care, so I will either see you when you check in or as you check out.  Bear with me as I try to put names with faces.  I look forward to assisting you when you come in or if you happen to call the office.

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.

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...
