🧒👓 Kids grow fast — and so do their vision needs!
That’s why we created the Eye M Growing program at Woodbine Optometry. 💙

Here’s how it works:
✨ When your child gets a new pair of frames with trivex lenses, they’ll receive a FREE set of replacement lenses they can redeem in 10 months — for any reason, including loss or damage!
✔️ Lenses are made from Trivex — stronger and safer than standard plastic
✔️ Available in photochromic (light-changing) or polarized options for sun protection

Peace of mind for parents. Clear, safe vision for kids. 🙌

👁️ Not all red, itchy eyes are pink eye! 😳

Here are some other common conditions that can mimic conjunctivitis' characteristic redness:

🔹 Dry Eye Syndrome – A lack of moisture on the surface of the eye can cause irritation, redness, and a gritty feeling that can be confused with pink eye.
🔹 Sinus Infections – Inflammation from sinus congestion can cause redness and discomfort around the eyes, often mistaken for conjunctivitis.
🔹 Blocked Tear Ducts – A clogged tear duct can lead to swelling, discharge, and redness that resemble the symptoms of pink eye.
🔹 Allergic Reactions – Allergies can cause irritated red eyes similar to those of conjunctivitis, especially in response to pollen or pet dander.
🔹 Blepharitis – Inflammation of the eyelids often leads to irritation, crusting, and redness around the eyes, which can be confused with pink eye.

☀️ Why Sunglasses Matter – All Year Round! 😎

Think sunglasses are just a summer accessory? Think again! 🧠👁️ Your eyes are always exposed to UV rays — even on cloudy days or in winter — and over time, that exposure can increase your risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and even eyelid cancer.

👓 A good pair of sunglasses with 100% UVA & UVB protection helps:
✅ Prevent long-term eye damage
✅ Reduce glare while driving or on the water
✅ Protect the delicate skin around your eyes
✅ Keep you comfortable in bright conditions

Your eyes deserve the same protection as your skin! 🧴☀️

✨ Stop by Woodbine Optometry to explore our range of UV-blocking sunglasses — stylish AND protective. Your future self will thank you!

Dive into the world of myopia with us! It's more than just nearsightedness. Symptoms often include headaches, eye strain, and squinting. In addition, worsening myopia can increase your chances of developing eye conditions such as glaucoma and retinal detachments later in life.

The good news? Advances in technology can help to reduce the progression of myopia in children and reduce the chance of associated eye health conditions later on. Specialized eye glass lenses, contact lenses, and prescription eye drops are available at our clinic. Don't let myopia blur your world—book an eye exam today.

Any prolonged, near-work activity—an activity that requires you to look at something close-up, like reading—could cause eye strain. There is some evidence to suggest that prolonged near-work activities, including screen use, may be linked with a higher risk of developing myopia (nearsightedness) for kids, too.

With a comprehensive eye exam, we can help you and your family assess your risk of developing conditions like nearsightedness and provide personal tips for avoiding eye strain.

Dry eyes and eye strain often appear alongside each other. If you frequently notice your eyes feel dry after a long period of reading or working at a computer, lubricating eye drops might help reduce your discomfort.

Use the following habits to help your eyes stay healthy and happy:

Adjust your computer screen so that it's about arm's length away and slightly below eye level.

Take eye breaks every 20 minutes and relax your eyes by looking off into the distance. Encourage your children to take breaks from screen time, too!

Increase your screen's font size to help make reading easier on your eyes.

Avoid glare on screens from bright room lights in your workspace and positioning your screen away from windows.

Visit one of our our eye doctors to get personal support for your family's eye health and daily vision needs.
