Tips from a Photographer

Don't let your next portrait look like this!  Jonathan, from Archer Photography in Moscow, offered a few pointers on how to ensure that your next portrait looks great:

1.  If you typically wear eyeglasses, DO have them on when getting your picture taken.
2.  Make sure that you DO NOT wear eyeglasses with Transitions lenses for an outdoor photoshoot.
3.  DO wear lenses that are treated with an anti-reflective coating.
4.  Consider stopping by our office to have your lenses temporarily removed from your frame before you have your picture taken (you may not be able to see what is going on around you but you will look great!)

Alpine Vision Introduces Dr. Zollman



Stacie Zollman, OD


Alpine Vision Center, announces the arrival of Latah County native, Dr. Stacie Zollman. Specializing in comprehensive optometry including ocular disease, low vision, and specialty contact lens fittings, Dr. Zollman is the first local optometrist to join the husband and wife optometry team of doctors Nathan Wilson and Julia Polito. Doctors Wilson and Polito, owners of Alpine Vision Center, welcome Dr. Zollman’s experience in low vision care.
Alpine Vision Center provides comprehensive eye care for patients of all ages. Dr. Zollman’s expertise includes diagnosing and treating nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and other low vision issues in children and adults. Additionally, she has extensive training in the treatment and management of ocular diseases, including glaucoma, diabetes, and macular degeneration.
"The addition of Dr. Zollman will help us better meet the needs of a diverse group patients," said Dr. Wilson. "She will work closely with patients of all ages in need of glasses or contact lenses, and in many cases will be the first point of diagnosis for those with more complex ocular and systemic diseases."
Dr. Zollman, a graduate of Genesee High School in 2004, received her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Idaho in 2009, and her Doctorate of Optometry from Pacific University in Oregon in 2013. She is a member of the Beta Sigma Kappa honor society and graduated with distinction.  She is also a recipient of the Eschenbach Award for Excellence in Low Vision (http://www.eschenbach.com/).  Dr. Zollman is already known to many of Alpine Vision Center’s patients, having worked for Alpine Vision Center prior to leaving Moscow for optometry school. 
In addition to serving her community, Dr. Zollman enjoys “…spending time with family and enjoying the outdoors in beautiful Idaho!”
