👀✨ Contact Lens Wearers—A Quick Reminder!
Wearing contacts should be comfortable and crystal-clear. If you’re noticing irritation, dryness, or cloudy vision, it might be time for a check-in!

✔️ Replace your lenses on schedule
✔️ Give your eyes a break from screens
✔️ Never sleep in lenses unless they’re approved for extended wear
✔️ And don’t forget—regular eye exams keep your eyes healthy! We always want to ensure you are wearing the best fitted lens for your needs.

Is it too soon to say winter? ❄

Here's some helpful tips and facts about your eyes this season:

-Snow blindness is real! It’s caused by UV rays reflecting off the snow and can lead to painful eye inflammation.

-Cold weather might make you drink less water, but your eyes still need hydration to produce healthy tears.

-Light sensitivity increases in bright, snowy conditions—polarized lenses help reduce glare and protect your vision.

-Dry indoor air and cold outdoor winds can cause irritation and dry eyes.

-Winter produce like carrots, kale, and citrus fruits are rich in vitamins A and C — both great for your vision and tear film health.

-Proper UV protection, moisturizing eye drops, and regular eye exams keep your vision comfortable and healthy all season long.

-Sunglasses in winter are just as important as in summer—UV rays don’t take a snow day!

-Use a humidifier indoors. Your eyes will thank you!

Hello, pumpkin spice latte season! Do you love your morning coffee routine as much as we do? Did you know caffeine can impact your eye health?

Here’s what your optometrist wants you to know:

🔹 Temporary Dry Eyes – Caffeine may reduce tear production in some people, leading to dry, irritated eyes.
🔹 Eye Pressure Spikes – High doses of caffeine could cause a short-term increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), which may be a concern if you’re at risk for glaucoma.
🔹 Twitching Eyelids (Myokymia) – That annoying eyelid twitch? Sometimes linked to too much caffeine and stress.
🔹 Improved Retinal Health? – Some studies suggest moderate caffeine intake might offer protective effects to the retina—so it’s not all bad news!

☕ The key? Moderation is everything. 1–2 cups a day is generally fine for most people, but if you have dry eyes or glaucoma risk factors, talk to your optometrist.

Not sure how your daily habits are affecting your eyes? Book an eye exam and let’s talk about it!

🧡 Honouring National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡
September 30

At Oasis Eye Care, we take this day to reflect, listen, and learn. Today, we honour the Survivors of Canada’s residential school system, remember the children who never made it home, and stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities across the country.

As eyecare professionals, we believe in the power of clear vision—not just in sight, but in truth. True reconciliation begins with acknowledging the past and committing to meaningful change.

We encourage our community to take time today to learn, reflect, and support Indigenous voices.

🧡 Every Child Matters. 🧡

Ever wonder what that big, sci-fi-looking thing is that we put in front of your face during an eye exam?

It’s called a phoropter — and it’s basically the superhero of vision testing! 🦸‍♂️

We use it to figure out your exact prescription by switching between different lenses and asking the classic question:
👉 “Which is better, 1 or 2?”

The phoropter helps us fine-tune your vision so your glasses or contacts give you the clearest, sharpest sight possible.

Next time you’re in the exam chair, you’ll know — it’s not just a weird gadget, it’s your eyes' best friend. 😎

📅 Book your eye exam today and let the phoropter work its magic! Call us at (780) 705-0135.

👁💨 Did you know? The eye contains the fastest muscle in the human body — the extraocular muscles! These tiny powerhouses allow your eyes to move in all directions in milliseconds, helping you react quickly to the world around you.

From scanning a page to catching something in your peripheral vision, your eyes are always working hard — and fast!

✅ Keep your high-speed vision sharp with regular eye exams.

🍁Fall vibes? Still need shades! 😎

UV rays don’t take a vacation in the fall — and neither should your eye protection. Wearing sunglasses year-round helps protect your eyes from harmful UV radiation that can contribute to cataracts and macular degeneration over time.

✅ UV protection
✅ Reduced risk of eye disease
✅ Year-round style

So grab those shades — your future self (and your eyes) will thank you. 😎👁️
