We enjoyed a fun Christmas party at Gardner Village last night. We had a great dinner followed by a Christmas Bingo game with prizes. The staff really liked the Christmas bonuses and Dr. Davis got a great gift from the staff – a gift certificate at REI where he visits regularly. It was great getting to know everyone better on a less formal basis especially Drs. Hepworth and Johnson who have both joined us this year.

Dr. Hepworth is a great and fun loving guy. He is an Optometrist who specializes in hard to fit contacts.

Dr. Johnson is the newest member of our team. He was a professor of Oculoplastic Surgery at Duke University but he has returned Utah to be with family and we are happy to have him. He specializes in plastic surgery of the face. He does a beautiful job on cosmetic surgery as well as facial trauma.

Last night Dr. Brian Davis was elected as the Ophthalmology division chief at the new Riverton Hospital. We’re excited about this new responsibility.

Eye rubbing is common with many of us. Most of us rub our eyes sometimes without even recognizing that we do it.  But it can have detrimental effects on our eyes. Eye rubbing causes inflammation to occur making our eyes and lids red. It has been linked to eye diseases such as cataracts and keratoconus. It also loosens the skin around the eyes contributing to drooping eyelids as we age. It can have detrimental effects if we have had recent eye surgery. So next time you’re tempted to rub think twice.

Today all Davis Vision Center staff enjoyed a birthday lunch. Two staff members had birthdays so we decided to go have some mexican food at Guadalahonkys in Draper. It was lots of fun even though it was a little scary driving in the snow storm.

Greg Olsen was kind enough to give this testimonial for the LASIK services he received here at Davis Vision Center.
