Did You Know...

• That there are different types of pink eye? A person might have viral conjunctivitis, bacterial conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis, or giant papillary conjunctivitis. This is one reason why it is so important for Dr. Cleveland to examine your eyes to pinpoint the cause and choose an appropriate treatment.

• That your child’s first visit to the optometrist should be at 6 months of age? Ask us about the InfantSee Program or go online to www.infantsee.org.
