This month we are spreading awareness about Glaucoma for Vision Awareness Month! Let's shine a spotlight on maintaining healthy and clear eyes, here is four facts about Glaucoma: 1. Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because it can progress without noticeable symptoms, leading to irreversible vision loss. 2. Glaucoma ranks among the leading causes of permanent blindness worldwide, emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment. 3. Routine eye exams are crucial for detecting glaucoma early, as it can be managed effectively with timely intervention. 4. While there is no cure for glaucoma, it is manageable through treatments like eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery when diagnosed and addressed promptly. Schedule your next appointment to get a status on the health of your eyes today!

Knock Knoxville... Who's there? Just 420,263 people in a 30-mile radius likely to need hip or knee services this year. It's not about that number... Or the fact that I just offended my proud Knoxville friends with that terrible joke. Its about HOW we know this. It's all about our opt-in consumer insights. We use it to build personas based on people's attributes and behaviors: Ages, lifestyles, sports and activities, purchase patterns, apps downloaded and more. For example, we know that likely (and qualified) total joint patients are: over the age of 50, have active lifestyles (including golf, tennis, yoga, pickleball, etc.) and about 12 other demographic and psychographic data points... We link the persona to a geography, such as this 30 mile radius around Knockville and *POOF* we have our audience: these 420,263 individuals. We serve ads directly to these people for your services, in the places where they already go online… Without them ever performing a search. WHY? ➡️ Because the best way to influence consumer bahavior is to be in front of your most-likely audience, on repeat, without them performing a search. In March of this year, this exact strategy generated 228 new patients for one orthopedic practice. UNIVERSITY ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS OrthoKnox, PLLC Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance, East Tennessee What are you doing to reach this audience differently than each other? If you are the competent healthcare minority, meaning you have: + the desire to increase procedure volume and market share, + the ability to convert clicks and calls to patient visits, + the drive to recognize the value in this strategy, we should chat. And no more bad knock-knock jokes... for now. #Knoxville #Tennessee #hip #tha #knee #tka #totaljoint #idealpatientattention #DTC #patientacquisition #healthcareDTC

An important reminder from the Eye Bank Association of America and the American Academy of Ophthalmology about #eyesafety as we head into the July 4th holiday. Here are their 5 tips to protect your #vision! 1. All those lighting fireworks AND bystanders should wear eye protection meeting the criteria set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). 2. If attending a fireworks show, stay at least 500 feet away from where they’re being set off. 3. Do not let children light, handle, or play with fireworks. 4. Also use caution when using sparklers – at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, they can easily cause burns and fires. 5. If you sustain a firework injury to your eye, report immediately to an Emergency Room. Do not rub, rinse, apply pressure, or try to remove any object from your eye.
