February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Awareness Month, a time to focus on protecting your vision from one of the leading causes of blindness in older adults.

At Eldorado Vision & Optical, we use LipiScan to provide precise imaging of your meibomian glands, enabling targeted treatment for dry eye relief.
