This spring may be extra irritating for allergy sufferers, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). After a long, wet and cold winter, spring's pollen counts may be higher than usual. Unfortunately, more than 40 million Americans who struggle with seasonal allergies could find their eyes are redder, itchier and more watery than normal.
Each year, 300,000 Americans visit the emergency room to treat a workplace eye injury. A significant portion of eye injuries occur in manufacturing, construction and mining, industries which are experiencing recent job growth.
Please join us in welcoming our newest ophthalmologist Willard L. McCloud, Jr., M.D.

He completed his Ophthalmology residency at Tuskegee Veterans Administration Medical Center in Tuskegee, Alabama, and has been in private practice since 1981 in Hampton, Virginia, and Winston Salem.
Dr. McCloud is most proud of his work with the non-profit Winston Salem Industries for the Blind. The organization works to provide jobs for the visually impaired.
