Keep their Future Clear Dr. Hart’s Primary Eye Care offers routine eye exams and a variety of styles for back-to-school. By Lorrie Ward For Shelley Hayes, it was not hard to figure out that her daughter had challenges with vision. From a young age, she showed the telltale signs of poor eyesight—squinting while focusing, holding things closely while reading, having trouble concentrating and completing tasks, etc. Shelley had her daughter’s eyes examined and was not surprised to find that her child needed glasses. However when it came to Shelley’s son, the diagnosis was not so easy. He showed none of the signs her daughter had exhibited and seemed to have normal vision. But some of his friends were wearing glasses and he thought they were “cool,” so he asked his mother if he
could get a pair when his sister did. While Shelley had him at the optometrist, she had his vision tested and was shocked to find that the young man actually needed glasses as badly as his sister did. “I thought he just wanted glasses to be like his friends,” she recalls. “He showed none of the obvious indicators of poor vision.” That’s why, as the office manager of Dr. Hart’s Primary Eye Care in Collinsville, Shelley encourages parents to have their children’s eyes routinely examined. “If a person is born with bad vision, they may have no idea until they have an examination,” she says. “It is like watching regular tel(continued on page 22)

Have You Joined the Sisterhood? Twisted Soul Sisters Boutique offers fashion, friendship and fun. By Kristi Roe-Owen When Kelly Corey and friend Marti Coleman founded Twisted Soul Sisters Boutique six years ago, their vision was to offer women a place to shop for unique, fun clothing and accessories with the philosophy of friendship at the core. The store began as trunk shows featuring unique clothing and repurposed old jewelry in the homes of Kelly’s friends, some of whom now work in the boutique. The Twisted Soul Sisters team remains a group of real life friends from Bixby. “We started off as a group of friends having fun,” Kelly emphasized. Kelly and friends would take older pieces of jewelry and turn them into unique new creations for these events. A leather belt might become a one-of-a-kind leather cuff bracelet; a grandmother’s ring may find new life as a statement necklace. When the trunk shows proved a hit, this sisterhood moved into a smallish space in Persimmon Hollow, the 1880s village replica known for housing a number of dreamy vintage and artisan vendors. Soon after, the store moved again to their first full-sized storefront, eventually settling into their current location to house their garden of sparkly delights.
