I wanted to take a moment to send a warm hello, as well as keep you apprised of where I have been. Over the past few months, I have needed to temporarily pause my optometry role to take care of my kids and help with their schooling at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I am sure that many of you are in this same situation or have friends and family who are.

Many of you know me as "The Daughter."  I am proud to be a local second-generation optometrist and the progeny of Dr. Joann Helmus and Dr. Mark Helmus.
