Q: HOW OFTEN SHOULD I VISIT AN OPTOMETRIST? A: Though a comprehensive eye examination is advised every one to two years, if you have any preexisting conditions—such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of macular degeneration—you should be seen more frequently. Your eye doctor can recommend a regimen based on your individual needs.

Q: WHAT CAN I DO TO KEEP MY CARPET LOOKING GOOD IN BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL CLEANINGS? A: We recommend frequent, slow vacuuming. Dry soil brought in with foot traffic and pets are some of the main causes of premature carpet wear. When dry soil remains on your carpet, it can cause damage to the fiber, making carpet look worn and discolored. Remember: vacuum slowly! For reference, a 20x20 room should take you 20 minutes. —Dean and Karen Carter Carter’s Carpet Restoration 4911 Windplay Drive, Suite 1A, El Dorado Hills, 916-933-7807, carterscarpet.com
