Dear Friends:
Happy new year! It is hard to believe that 2026 marks 29 years of providing eye care to the incredible community of Los Alamos. Stay tuned for a big celebration of 30 years in the near future.
If your child is nearsighted, please talk to us about myopia management. Myopia increases your childś risk of serious eye diseases such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Specialized contact lenses for both daytime or nighttime wear as well as Atropine eye drops can significantly decrease the progression of myopia. If your child is unable to wear contact lenses, we now have a FDA approved option for myopia management eyeglasses. The Stellest lens uses groundbreaking technology called H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target), which features over 1,000 points in concentric rings to focus light on the peripheral retina (peripheral defocus). This prevents the eye from elongating and worsening the myopia. Clinical studies show that Stellest lenses slow down myopia progression by 67%.
All of us are spending way too much time on our digital devices and computer monitors. I tell parents that their children need 2 hours of outdoor play on a daily basis. But what about adults? If you have a job that requires all day computer monitor use, then take a walk or hike and do something fun that does not involve digital devices after work and on weekends.
Talk to us about blue light protection, computer glasses, and nutritional supplementation.
Do you have dry eye symptoms related to eyelid inflammation (blepharitis) or eczema? We now offer TeaTree Eyelid & Facial Cleanser, which also works as a moisturizing, non-irritating make up remover. Starting in March 2026, we will offer Rayban eyewear! The newest AI driven Meta frames have incredible capabilities as a low vision device and enhancement of daily life. With your Davis Vision benefits, you may order Rx lenses in the Meta and all Rayban frames.
In 2026,Los Alamos Family Eyecare will sponsor a “Faith and Community” movie series at SALA Event Center. On February 14th, 2026 at 4pm, I will sponsor the movie “Sight,” an inspiring drama about Ming Wang, who flees Communist China to become a renowned eye surgeon. This is a free, family-friendly event open to the public.
My staff and I wish you and your families abundance, happiness, and joy in 2026!
Sincerely, Lisa Shin, O.D.
