Online eye exams get banned, invasive species impact lakes, and a shelter dog gets a home.

The makers of an online vision test say they’re increasing access to eye exams in underserved populations. But optometrists say nothing can replace an in-person exam. And, the Eurasian milfoil is a threat to boaters and recreation. Find out how boater registration fees are helping combat the problem. Plus, we’ll introduce you to Buck, a dog saved from a hoarding situation in Owen County.
