The next time you visit Brookside Optometric for your eye care needs, some things will be different. As we reopen to deliver a full range of essential eye health and vision care, the health and safety of our patients, staff, and the members of our community remains our top priority.

The Third Week of August marks the 5th Annual observance of Contact Lens Health Week.

Summer is the perfect time to review some of the practical steps we can take to ensure a safe and comfortable relationship with your contact lenses.
