Waking up with red, scratchy, or crusty eyelids can be alarming, especially when you have a family to care for. You might worry about what’s causing the discomfort and, more importantly, if it can spread to your loved ones. This concern is common, especially when symptoms can mimic contagious conditions like pink eye. Being aware […]
You’ve likely heard the terms nearsighted and farsighted, but they can be easy to mix up. Both are common vision conditions called refractive errors, which means your eye isn’t bending light correctly, leading to blurry vision, whether at close range or far away. An optometrist can often identify this kind of refractive error during an […]
Contact lenses offer incredible freedom from glasses, providing clear vision for everything from reading a book to playing sports. But with this convenience comes a responsibility to care for your eye health. A common question we hear is whether a contact lens exam is truly necessary every single year. Because contact lenses are medical devices […]

Aging is a natural, beautiful part of life. However, it does come with some health concerns, especially regarding eyesight and our ability to perform daily activities like reading restaurant menus, driving, or seeing both ways when crossing the road. For most individuals, eyesight does not improve naturally with age. Instead, it generally begins to decline […]
Dry, irritated eyes can make daily tasks more challenging, leaving many searching for some relief. While treatments like eye drops and in-office treatments exist, you may be able to treat mild dry eyes making changes to your environment. At McCauley Celin Eyecare Associates, a common question we hear is whether a humidifier can help with […]
The short answer is no, contact lens and glasses prescriptions are not the same. While both kinds of prescriptions are designed to give you clear vision, they interact with your eyes differently. […]
It turns out that overusing eye drops can create a dependency. As a general rule:
Over-the-counter artificial tears can be used around 2 to 4 times a day.
Preservative-free artificial tears can be used as needed, upwards of 6 to 8 times a day.
Prescription eye drops should be used as advised by your optometrist, which is generally once or twice a day.

It’s typical for vision changes to happen as you age. However, many people don’t realize that this means their prescription also needs to be updated. Wearing the wrong prescription glasses won’t permanently damage your eyes, but it can cause discomfort and vision issues such blurred vision, eyestrain, dizziness, and headaches. Many people try to make […]
Stress is a common part of daily life, often stemming from various sources such as work, personal relationships, and financial concerns. When stress levels rise, the body can react in several ways. One physical symptom that many people experience is dry eyes. This condition occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when […]
Eye drops are commonly used to treat a variety of eye issues, including dry eyes, allergies, and glaucoma. Eye drops provide relief and improve eye health by delivering moisture, reducing inflammation, or lowering intraocular pressure, depending on the specific condition being treated. However, like all medications, eye drops have expiration dates, and using expired products […]
As temperatures drop and winter sets in, many people experience a common phenomenon of watery eyes in the cold.

Waking up every day with dry, irritated eyes is a quick way to start the day off on the wrong foot. The constant stinging and burning sensations make everyday life significantly harder, and many people find themselves desperate for relief from their dry eyes. So why do you wake up with dry eyes—and what can […]
A professional touch is key when updating your eyewear with new glasses. Your glasses don’t just let you see well—they should also help you look good! If you have an oval face shape, you should look for a pair that adds lines to define your features. Rectangular frames, aviator shapes, and cat-eye glasses can add […]
I cannot say enough about how kind and helpful the staff is. The office and exam rooms are clean, comfortable and updated. Dr. Frank Celin was professional, personable and knowledgeable about my eye conditions nystagmus and strabismus. He took his time and treated me with care. The staff spent at least an hour helping me pick out and narrow down frames from a great, selection. After trying a few different ophthalmologists over the years, I feel very comfortable in Dr. Celin’s care and will be going back.
With 3 office locations it is ideal for selecting an appointment time and area that is convenient for you. The staff at each office are helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and ready to help when you need it. The doctors are professional yet friendly, thorough yet timely. If you haven’t gone to this practice, go. McCauley, Celin Eyegroup I think leads the area for excellence in Eyecare!
My experiences have always been more than anticipated. The staff and doctors continue to do more than ever expected. Interested in a patients view/treatment at their offices and exceptional frames. I have family from out of town who book their appointments here because they feel their care is in best hands from lasik info and contacts to their frames and lenses. Still the best!
I switched from Dr. Prazer (and his own practice) to Dr. Caitlin McCauley when I had to change insurance several years ago. I was reluctant to switch, but I soon found that Dr. McCauley was just as wonderful and knowledgeable.
Everyone is so nice in their offices. The other day I kept the office person on the phone for the longest time trying to find the best appt time. She never even flinched! I felt so bad wasting her time but she made me feel so comfortable. Exceptional selection of glasses, and seriously sincere staff and physicians. I would recommend them to anyone. I chose this office after a bad experience with a local competing office and I am quite please with my choice!
They have 3 local offices was extensive hours. They can even accommodate patients on evenings and weekends! I saw Dr. Robert McCauley. I found him to be very pleasant and knowledgeable. The waiting room is very clean and brightly lit. As I went in the evening it was nice and quiet. It almost doesn’t matter though. Both times that I went I was taken promptly and even a little early! I only went for my contacts so I don’t have any comments regarding their frames department, but I will be sure to come back once I need new glasses.
I have been coming here for years and not once has any visit been below fantastic service. My appointments have been on time and I’m usually in and out within an hour. I once tried to visit a new eye doctor where I worked out of convenience and it was a terrible mistake. No matter what section of town I live in, I will always make it a mission to keep my business here.
This is the best most thorough place you can go for eye care. The selection of glasses frames is excellent and you can be sure you are getting a thorough eye exam. The staff are friendly professional and we’ll informed.
Terrific practice! Relocated last year from the east coast and a friend suggested this group. Dr. Lindsay and her team are highly skilled professionals, who genuinely have their patients best interests. I appreciate Dr. Lindsays’ sincere effort ensuring the eyewear I choose will meet my professional and personal needs. Awesome Doctor!
Beyond helpful and patient. Dr. Lindsay is amazing and was able to find a pair of contacts for me to wear after 10+ years of being stuck wearing only glasses. The entire staff, and Dennis in particular, are always there for you if you ever need anything. A++ service.
Fantastic office right down to the staff! Dr Lindsay was so wonderful ! Very attentive to a problem I was having , took the time to explain everything to me very thoroughly and truly showed she cared !
