Our Halloween Treat to You!

Presenting Dr. Mark Zombie?!?

Dr. Mark Moran in full Zombie Make-up!

Who knew that Dr. Moran was a movie star?  He and some 

other members of LVC4S and camera shy Mandy our Bethlehem front office manager and her son Jagger (seen below) answered the call for extras "Nightmares of the Dark."  This film was shot locally, and turned into a frightfully fun day for all.  

Dr. Moran and his son Brandon were dressed in surgical scrubs for the movie shoot.  Zombie doctors...every patients nightmare!  Although this film hasn't yet hit the big screen, you can see clips of the movie on YouTube...if you dare!  

Happy Halloween from Lehigh Valley Center for Sight!  

Other members of the Zombie crew include Dr. Moran, Seth Frohnheiser,  Jagger Bolton
and Brandon Moran ready for some undead action!

Happy Boss's Day?

Yes...there is a National Boss's Day!

Dr. Ross & Dr. Ahdieh show off their Boss's Day cake!

The staff at Lehigh Valley Center for Sight took part in National Boss's Day on Wednesday, October 16th.   To help celebrate and to honor the management of our practice, the staff pitched in for a cake for Dr. Daniel Ross & Dr. Houman Ahdieh, the managing partners of LVC4S.  

Boss's day has been around since the 1960s.  It gives the employees a chance to show their appreciation for the hard work and dedication for their employees.  Thanks to our boss's who were kind enough to share their cake with us!

100 miles...City to Shore

Deb & Dean Sicher at the end of their
100 mile ride for Muscular Dystrophy.

Lehigh Valley Center for Sight's Deb Sicher took part in the Multiple Sclerosis Society's 100 mile City to Shore Bike Event in September.

If you are lucky enough to know Deb, you know that she is committed to the health and welfare of her patients.  Deb dedicated her ride to a number of her patients who have been affected by Multiple Sclerosis.  She wore their names on orange ribbons during the ride.

Raising money for Multiple Sclerosis has become an annual event for the Sicher family, who have logged over a thousand miles for the charity.  She notes that they are inspired by the people who gather along the route to offer encouragement and show their gratitude.

We feel very proud to have employees like Deb Sicher at LVC4S.  Congratulations to Deb & Dean on their achievement.

Dermatologists & Ophthalmologists Agree...

WEAR YOUR SUNGLASSES! 

Your eye doctor has been telling you that sunglasses play an important role in protecting your eyes from the damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays.  Did you know that sunglasses can protect you from skin cancer too?

Sunglasses Protect your Eyes. Exposure to the sun’s UV rays increases your odds of getting cataracts, which cloud the lens of the eye and lead to diminished eyesight.  UV rays have also been tied to macular degeneration, which causes damage to the retina. Fair-skinned people with light color eyes, blue, green, grey, should be especially diligent about sunglass wear.  

Sunglasses Protect your Skin too! The skin around the eyes is very fragile, and needs to be protected from the damaging rays of the sun.  Protection is needed from direct sunlight, as well as the sunlight that reflects off of water, sand & snow.   Sunglasses shield the delicate skin around your eyes, so think BIG when choosing your frames. 

 The Opticians at Fairmont Optical can help you select the best sunglasses for your vision needs.  We offer both regular & prescription sunglasses that can safely take you through every season of the year. 

See well and be well with a great pair of sunglasses from Fairmont Optical!

Let's talk!

EYE

 EXAM

 TOPICS

    Here is a quick list of things to discuss with your eye doctor at your next visit...

         1. Describe what eyewear you currently use.  It's important for your doctor to know what you wear, and what you don't wear.  Are you wearing protection when you play sports, sunglasses to reduce glare, or have you started wearing readers on top of your contacts?

2. Describe what you don't like about your current vision correction.  Be honest, talk about what's not working and why - there may be other options. 

3. Describe your daily routine.  Do you spend the day on the computer, driving long distances, or working outdoors where it is dry and windy?

4. Don't forget to mention any special vision needs for your job, sports or hobbies!  Your doctor may have solutions that can save you from eye strain, and protection that can save your eyes from injury.
             

        The doctors and staff of Lehigh Valley Center for Sight offer comprehensive eye care in a warm and friendly environment.  Our highly trained doctors work with the advanced technology to provide the optimal solutions to your eye care needs. 

 Has it been a while since you've had your eyes checked?  Call us for an appointment at 610-437-4988.  We have lots to talk about!
