Eye Care

One woman was 99 years old and couldn’t see while she cooked. Another man couldn’t see his fingernails well enough to cut them. One girl’s vision was so bad her friends had to copy notes from the board for her in school. These are just some of the many people CEENTA Ophthalmic Technician Kwame Amanfoh fitted with glasses during a recent eye care trip in Ghana.

Your eye prescription is up to date, your hearing has been checked, and with your doctors’ appointments out of the way, it’s time to go on vacation. If you’re like us, you like to take a book or audiobook when you travel. So, some of our doctors decided to share some of the books they like to read or listen to. Maybe you’ll find something that piques your interest in the list below.

It’s time for a new pair of glasses, but you’re so busy you decide you’ll save yourself some time by buying your glasses online instead of going to an optical shop. Is that a good idea, though?

Since 1923, CEENTA has had a front-row seat to the growth and development of Charlotte and the surrounding region. Our doctors, like retired Ophthalmologist John Young, MD, have been there to see both our practice and the city grow.
