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...

I was born and raised in Knoxville, and went to college at UNI. I graduated in May of 2020 with my bachelor's degree and moved back to Knoxville with my husband, Nick, who is also from Knoxville. Nick and I will be married two years in January. Both of our families are local, which is such a blessing. In July, we got our pup Watson. He's a Lab/Great Pyrenees mix who is currently 47 pounds and just over four months old. He's the most adorable big baby. We also had a little niece born at the beginning of September who we can't wait to spoil.
I enjoy reading, especially fantasy, WWII memoirs, and Christian fiction. Many can attest that I bring a book with me EVERYWHERE. I also love watching TV (anything by the CW) curled up underneath a cozy blanket with a candle burning next to me and hammocking when it's nice out.
I began working here at Eye Health Solutions in June in the patient care area, so you will see me at the front desk. I'm smiling behind my mask, I promise.
The title of this post is a great question. As an optometrist, I never thought I would work from home, but here I am—listening to webinars, writing blog posts, and doing research from my house. Ultimately, we need to get back to seeing patients and delivering top-quality eyecare.
Well, it seems like eons ago when I wrote this previous blog post. In re-reading it, who would have thought we would end up where we are now.
Well, it’s Sunday morning and we lost an hour. I’m sure more people missed church today than almost any other Sunday—or a few showed up at the wrong time (guilty of both myself in the past).
I just finished reading Bottle of Lies by Katherine Eban. It’s an eye-opening inside look at the generic drug industry. To answer the question I put in the title of this blog post—maybe or maybe not…
