Struggling to see things far away? It might be myopia 👁️

Myopia (nearsightedness) is on the rise especially in kids. It means close up vision is clear, but distance is blurry.

📍 Signs to look for:
• Squinting to see far away
• Sitting closer to screens
• Frequent headaches
• Trouble seeing the board at school

The earlier it’s caught, the better we can manage it. From glasses and contacts to myopia control treatments, there are great options available.

Give our team a call at one of our 10 conveniently located clinics across Southwestern Ontario to book your eye exam.

Your annual eye exam is about more than just updating your glasses or contact lens prescription. A comprehensive eye exam at Kniaziew Optometry can help detect and manage eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, often before any symptoms appear.

On average, everyone should have their eyes examined at least once a year to protect their vision and overall eye health.

With 10 conveniently located clinics across Southwestern Ontario, it’s easier than ever to fit your eye care into your schedule.

📅 Book your eye exam today!

💙 Your eyes give you so much every day. Make sure they get the care they deserve.

✨ Congratulations, Charlotte! ✨

We’re celebrating something awesome today — Charlotte just completed her very first eye exam with us here in Leamington and earned her official Certificate of Awesomeness! 🎉

Getting that first eye exam is a big milestone, and we couldn’t be prouder. Regular eye exams are an important part of keeping eyes healthy for life — and we love making those first visits extra special for our youngest patients. 💙

Way to go, Charlotte! 👏 We can’t wait to see you again for your next eye adventure! 🕶️👓

Halloween is fun — but don’t let your eyes pay the price! Here’s how to stay safe:

Costume Safety – Make sure masks don’t block vision and avoid sharp objects. Check any eye injuries immediately.

Safe Make-up – Stick to hypoallergenic, eye-approved products. Avoid unsafe “red” effects near the eyes.

Be Seen After Dark – Use reflective tape, LED lights, or flashlights to stay visible.

We wish everyone in Southwestern Ontario a safe and spooktacular Halloween! 🕸️🕷️

Thinking about becoming an Optometrist?

Meet Brooke Latour, a third-year Medical Sciences student at Brock University who recently spent time shadowing Dr. Kniaziew at Kniaziew Optometry.

Brooke shared:

“Job shadowing Dr. Kniaziew was an incredibly valuable and enjoyable experience. He treats all his patients with kindness and created numerous learning opportunities for me. The entire staff were welcoming, supportive, and helpful as well. Overall, Kniaziew Optometry was a fantastic team to work with, and I cannot wait for my future experiences with them!”

Brooke plans to apply to the University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry next year and has already completed over 50 hours of shadowing experience. She also leads Vision Plus, a volunteer program that provides free vision screenings to elementary students across the Niagara region.

At Kniaziew Optometry, we’re always excited to welcome high school or undergraduate students who are curious about a future in optometry and want to see what a day in the life of an Optometrist is really like.

💬 Send us a DM if you’d like to shadow one of our amazing Optometrists and learn more about this rewarding profession!

What a day! 💪✨ Yesterday, women from near and far came together for the 12th Annual Women’s 100, hosted by CYCLE CULTURE & Kim Rocheleau. From the 100-minute Urban Ride to the 100 km Road Ride, every pedal stroke was proof of strength, community, and the power of women’s cycling. 🚴‍♀️🌸

A huge thank you to all the riders who joined us, and to FRANK Brewing Co. for helping us celebrate after the ride with food, drinks, and good vibes. We’re proud to have sponsored again this year, gifting every rider a pair of our BRILLIANZE sunglasses 😎 FoundationEyewear

Here’s to more miles, more victories, and more women lifting each other up on two wheels. Until next year! 💜

🍎✏️ The first week of school is here! Backpacks are packed, routines are coming together, and kids are settling back into the classroom.

👀 But here’s something many parents don’t realize: 80% of learning is visual. Clear vision is one of the most important tools your child needs for a successful school year.

Watch for these signs that your child may need glasses or an eye exam:

Squinting or covering one eye

Headaches or eye strain after school

Trouble seeing the board

Losing their place while reading

Sitting too close to books or screens

Even if there are no obvious signs, kids may not know what “normal” vision looks like — that’s why routine, OHIP-covered eye exams are so important.

✅ Book your child’s exam this fall at one of our 10 conveniently located Kniaziew Optometry clinics across Southwestern Ontario. Let’s start the school year with clear vision and confident learning!

Thank you to CTV News for highlighting why regular eye exams are so important. This story is a powerful reminder that optometrists don’t just protect vision—they can also save lives.

And with back-to-school season here, it’s the perfect time to book an eye exam for your child. Early detection makes all the difference.
