Wise Pools Retail Store Announces E-Coupon Discounts Savings Program!

Wise Pools’ Panther Creek store has started a super new savings program for all customers who stop in and register their e-mail address.  Throughout the year, each person who registers will be sent a variety of special sales notice, E-Coupons for MAJOR discounts and other useful surprises to help make it even easier and more cost –effective to care for their swimming pools.

“The program is very simple”, says Merry Wise, owner of Wise Pools Panther Creek store. “All a person has to do is provide us the e-mail address, written clearly, and they will be added to the discount program and receive discounts by e-mail throughout the year. They can simply print them off and bring in their own coupon to access the savings. We will also announce special sales and money-saving promotions and offer other surprises.  The new program will save our customers a great deal of money this year on their pool supplies and enables us to offer savings to them in a more cost-effective way to them and thus offer more generous deals.  Everyone wins! Our policy at Wise has always been to sell people what they need, but not more than they need, for optimum pool maintenance, at competitive prices. This new program adds another dimension of good service to our clients and we are very excited about it!”

The store offers free computerized water analysis, expert advice, chemicals, toys, games and accessories for pools and spas and a useful and comprehensive pool care book, “Cruising Through Pool Care the Wise Way” authored by Merry Wise and sold nationwide. Wise also offers free pool schools to learn about pool care several times a year.

 

Allergy Season - Eye Allergies and

Contact Lenses

 Even if you are generally a successful contact lens wearer, allergy season can make your contacts uncomfortable. Airborne allergens can get on your lenses, causing discomfort. Allergens also can stimulate the excessive production of natural substances in your tears, which bind to your contacts and also become uncomfortable. Pollen maps can help you determine when allergens are present.   

Ask one of our Optometrists about eye drops that can help relieve your symptoms and keep your contact lenses clean. Certain drops can discolor or damage certain lenses, so it makes sense to ask first before trying out a new brand.

Another alternative is daily disposable contact lenses, which are discarded nightly. Because you replace them so frequently, these types of lenses are unlikely to develop irritating deposits that can build up over time and cause or heighten allergy-related discomfort.  Here at Woodlands Eye Associates offices we have recently increased our inventory of contact lenses. We currently have available CIBAVISION® DAILIES® AQUACOMFORT PLUS™, ACUVUE® OASYS™, 1-Day Acuvue Moist now in 90 day packs and the hard to find Encore Premium Aspherics contact lenses.  Our prices are lower that the leading local retailer and online provider contact lenses.

If you are unsure about those itchy, watery eyes, call for an appointment so we can help you enjoy Spring without the discomfort.

To better serve our patients we accept most medical insurance and vision plans.  Many times an office visit will be medial related and your medical insurance will serve as your primary coverage.

Both of our Optical Departments offer the latest in fashion eyewear. Designer frames including Tiffany, Tom Ford, Bvalgari, Prada and many more. New styles arrive daily including some great new sunglass styles. Check our website for our latest coupons and offers.
