👁️💉 Did You Know? Diabetes doesn’t just affect your blood sugar — it can also affect your eyes.
People living with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing serious eye diseases, including:
⚡ Diabetic Retinopathy – damage to the blood vessels in the retina that can cause vision loss.
☁️ Cataracts – clouding of the eye’s natural lens that can blur vision.
🌪️ Glaucoma – increased pressure in the eye that can damage the optic nerve.
The tricky part? Many of these conditions start without any noticeable symptoms — that’s why regular eye exams are essential for early detection and protection of your sight.
👓 At Collingwood Optometry and Cwood Eyecare, we use advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to monitor eye health for those living with diabetes — helping you see clearly today and in the years ahead. 💙

👁️ The “Silent Thief of Sight” 👁️
Glaucoma often develops without any warning signs — earning its nickname as the silent thief of sight. In the early stages, vision typically feels normal because the disease affects your side (peripheral) vision first, not the center. By the time symptoms appear, permanent vision loss may already have occurred.
⚠️ In advanced stages, you may notice:
Gradual loss of side vision
Blurred or patchy areas in your sight
Difficulty adjusting to dim light
Tunnel vision (in severe cases)
The only way to detect glaucoma early is through regular eye exams, where your optometrist checks eye pressure, optic nerve health, and other key risk factors.
Early detection = preserved vision. 👓
Book your next exam at Collingwood Optometry or Cwood Eyecare — because what you don’t notice can still steal your sight. 💙

🚭👁️ Your Eyes Don’t Like Ci******es Either
We all know smoking harms the lungs and heart — but did you know it can also seriously damage your eyesight?
Here’s how:
👁️ Macular Degeneration: Smoking is the #1 modifiable risk factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) — a leading cause of blindness. It damages the blood vessels and cells in the retina, speeding up vision loss.
💨 Cataracts: Smokers are up to 2–3 times more likely to develop cataracts — the clouding of the eye’s natural lens that blurs vision.
🔥 Dry Eye: The smoke and toxins reduce tear quality, leading to chronic dry, irritated eyes that burn or feel gritty.
⚡ Optic Nerve Damage: Smoking increases the risk of glaucoma by affecting blood flow to the optic nerve.
The good news? It’s never too late. Quitting smoking not only protects your lungs — it helps preserve your sight. 👓
Book your next eye exam at Collingwood Optometry or Cwood Eyecare — we’ll help you keep your vision clear for the long run. 💙

👀 Near-sightedness (myopia) isn’t just about needing stronger glasses every year. When eyes grow too long, it can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life — including myopic macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and glaucoma.
The good news? 🌟 Myopia control options are available for kids to help slow the progression of near-sightedness and protect their long-term eye health.
If your child is becoming more near-sighted, book a myopia management consultation with one of our optometrists today. Early action makes all the difference! 💙

👁️💧 Germs and contacts don’t mix…
If your contact lens case has been hanging around longer than your latest Netflix obsession, it’s time to toss it! 🦠
👉 Replace your lens case every 3 months — even if it looks clean.
👉 Rinse it only with fresh contact solution (never tap water).
👉 Let it air dry upside down between uses.
Because when it comes to your eyes, “clean” means crystal clear vision — not a science experiment. 😅
