Q: The lenses in my glasses are scratched up. Can I not get those scratches buffed out? A: That’s pretty difficult. Scratches and scuffs typically damage the coatings on the lens, and the coating itself cannot be re-applied or polished up without making the lens hazy. Ideally the coatings ought to make the lenses more durable. Make sure to ask us at Mosaic Optometry about options for lens coatings, proper lens care and warranties with your next eyewear purchase!

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month
Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that destroys brain cells, causing thinking ability and memory to deteriorate over time. Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging and is irreversible. While it’s difficult to predict symptoms, the order in which they will appear or the speed of their progression, there are some warning signs you can look out for. Sudden changes to your loved one’s personality are often another sign that something is not right. These changes can include anxiety, paranoia, depression, and socially inappropriate behaviors, as well as sudden mood swings and physical aggression.
Interesting Ear Facts
Ears, beyond hearing, are remarkable for several reasons: *they aid balance, *get larger throughout life due to natural aging and gravity, *are self-cleaning, *remain alert even during sleep, and *house delicate non-regenerating hair cells crucial for hearing. The ears also regulate pressure changes via the Eustachian tube and are connected to the nose and throat as part of an intricate system. Having two ears helps us figure out which direction sounds are coming from. If you or a family member are concerned about hearing loss book a free consultation today.

Shoulder Pain?
Did you know that chiropractors treat more than just the spine? Chiropractors are trained to address musculoskeletal problems throughout the body, including shoulder and rotator cuff issues. They do this with the use of active release therapy (ART), which uses manual pressure and movement to break down adhesions in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the shoulder. This helps to reduce pain and improve range of motion, promoting faster healing by increasing blood flow and mobility in the affected tissues. Chiropractic adjustments help stabilize the shoulder joint, improve biomechanics, and reduce compensatory strain, promoting a more comprehensive recovery for the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles.
