| At the Southwest Eye Institute, we strive to educate all our patients on their eye conditions as well as on ways to improve their ocular and overall heath. The Internet is a great tool for learning more about your health. However, keep in mind that health information on the Internet is not always accurate and does not replace the advice of your physician. Following are links to some educational websites. |
