It’s that time of year again.
With the change of time comes a change in low light driving conditions. Lower light and low visibility cause visual impairment and confusion. Add this to eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration and you can expect an increase in visual impairment.

Laurel le Noble is displaying her artwork at VUE during Arts Walk on October 7th and 8th. We are excited to share her work with you! Laurel says,
“The world has provided endless subject matter for me to draw and paint. From people and animals, to landscapes, I am always in awe of everything around me. I can’t wait to get to my studio and start drawing and painting. When I am working on a portrait or a figure, whether it be a baby or a puppy, I focus on the eyes. They reflect the essence of the subject.”
We focus on the eyes, too! Come see more of her artwork on display at VUE for Arts Walk in downtown Olympia.
School and sports go hand in hand. Don’t let a preventable injury keep your child from playing. Along with the knee pads, helmets and wrist guards, protect their eyes with the appropriate sport, swim, ski goggles 
and/or sunglasses; with or without your child’s eyeglass prescription. The eye care professionals at VUE and Tumwater Eye Center can make sure all your child’s eye care needs are met.
