Tower Clock Eye Center’s Amanda Schuster, OD, and staff recently volunteered at The Children’s Museum of Green Bay to give free eye screenings to kids. The exams were part of the museum’s E.A.T. program that promotes healthy living and eating.
Dr. Schuster screened dozens of kids for eye problems. Studies have shown that vision problems can hinder learning and development, and she stressed the need for kids to have their eyes examined, “Children labeled slow learners or those thought to have ADD or ADHD often just have undetected vision problems. We’re here to make a difference for those kids,” she said.
Schuster and volunteers from Tower Clock Eye Center offer these services at The Children’s Museum of Green Bay several times a year, and everyone enjoys helping kids in the community, “It’s fun and worth our time to provided these screenings, even if we help just one kid,“ Schuster added.
Last night Tower Clock Eye Center hosted a continuing medical education event where Dr. Annette Giangiacomo, MD, presented on glaucoma to nearly 30 area optometrists. The event also served as an open house for our new state-of-the-art Appleton surgery center.
Dr. Kurt Schwiesow, MD, presented to a large group of optometrists as part of a Continuing Medical Education event held last night in Oshkosh. Dr. Schwiesow, a fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist, spoke on the latest advanced treatments for the disease, including iDose TR and Durysta.
