From no nose pads to nose pads! Our repair technician has been upping her game.

Adding nose pads to plastic frames isn’t a typical repair — most techs won’t even attempt it since there’s no built-in hardware to work with. But our repair tech didn’t let that stop her.

She figured out the entire process by hand, turning what could’ve been a “sorry, can’t be done” into a perfect fit for one of our patients.

That’s the kind of skill and patience we’re proud to have in our shop — because comfortable, well-fitting glasses shouldn’t be out of reach.

Welcome to Xiaomei, our optometric intern for this quarter.

Throughout her training, she is gaining valuable experience in diagnosing and managing a variety of ocular conditions, including keratoconus, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration.

Working alongside Drs. Robillard and Hamel has sparked a particular interest in dry eye management and the fitting of specialty contact lenses, especially scleral lenses.

Outside the clinic, she enjoys traveling, cooking, and playing pickleball, and finding new experiences and adventures wherever she goes!

$Dr. Hamel speaks about myopia (nearsightedness). Myopia is a refractive condition where your eyeball is typically longer than average. This causes the light entering your eye to focus in front of your retina, resulting in blurry vision at far distances. Refractive correction in the form of glasses, contacts or surgery redirects the light to focus exactly on the retina, resulting in clear vision. Myopia progression is when it continually gets worse, rapidly. Myopia progression is a hot topic in the eye care world because patients with high myopia can have ocular health problems such as retinal degeneration (lattice, holes, tears, staphyloma). If myopia progression can be slowed down, it could help a lot of people! Communities that spend more time outdoors in open space as childhood and adolescence tend to have lower rates of myopia. Communities that spend more time on tablets and computers tend to have more myopia. This is one reason screen time limits are encouraged. #myopia #optometrist #eyecare #turlockeyecare Disclaimer: The information shared is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
