Advanced Vision Center - Meridian

She did it!! 👏🏻

Erin is 11 and it’s her very first time putting in contact lenses! But the real victory? Erin’s mom learned just how important myopia control is for her daughter’s long-term eye health. Slowing down nearsightedness early can greatly reduce the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.

Early action = lifelong protection! 💜

We love our Clarkdale Bulldogs!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you take some time to reflect on the real reason for the season! We will see you back on Monday, Dec 30th with normal business hours!

We are so thankful for our wonderful patients! Have a great Thanksgiving! 🦃

Dr. Dooley is spending the weekend at her Alma mater, Southern College of Optometry, for their Fall Continuing Education. Learning never ends! 👁️

The Advanced Vision Center Lions ended a great season with one final win this morning! We are so proud of these boys and their coach, who just happens to be Dr. Dooley’s husband 😎.

🌒 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐲𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭! 🌒

As the upcoming solar eclipse begins shortly after 12:30pm for our area, we want to remind you of the importance of protecting your eyes. 🕶️

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞?
Staring at the sun can cause solar retinopathy, damaging the retina’s light-sensitive cells. This can lead to permanent loss of vision.

𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬:
✅Use eclipse glasses or handheld solar viewers that meet the ISO 12312-2 international standard.
✅Do NOT use regular sunglasses, no matter how dark they are.
✅Supervise children using solar viewers.

✨ Stay safe and enjoy the celestial show! ✨
