It can be tempting to stretch the life of your contact lenses by wearing them an extra day or 2, but this simple habit can compromise your eye health. Over-wearing lenses reduces comfort and, more seriously, increases the risk of complications.

If you want to try contact lenses with different wear schedules, our team can help. Book your appointment today to learn more.

Many patients are surprised to learn that clear vision doesn’t always mean a healthy retina. Age-related macular degeneration can develop slowly, without immediate symptoms. Our innovative imaging technology including optical coherence tomography helps us track the slightest changes in your eye health to help you stay ahead of potential issues. 👁

Proactive vision care is the key to preserving your vision. Book your appointment today!

As winter fades, allergy season often begins earlier than many people expect. If your eyes are already feeling itchy, watery, or red, February may be the start of your spring allergy cycle.

A quick exam can help determine whether your symptoms are caused by allergies or something else and guide you toward the right treatment. 🌿

How much screen time is too much for kids? While there’s no magic number, it’s important to monitor for signs of digital eye strain.

Besides taking breaks including regular outdoor play, keep your child’s screen at a comfortable distance (arm’s length is a good rule) and adjust the brightness to match the room’s lighting.

A yearly comprehensive eye exam is crucial for monitoring your child’s developing vision and uncovering any potential issues early.

Give us a call at (705) 474-3220 to book an appointment for your child’s eye check-up today!

🚫Repeat after us: NEVER sleep in your contact lenses! 🚫
Sleeping in contacts can increase your risk of serious eye infections and oxygen deprivation (hello, uncomfortable redness). Many optometrists even recommend removing extended-wear lenses before sleep. Protect your vision—pop them out before you nod off! 😴➡️👀

👁️ See More Than 20/20 👁️

An annual eye exam is about more than just updating your glasses. Retinal imaging and OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) allow us to look beneath the surface of your eye—often detecting problems before you notice symptoms.

🔍 Why retinal imaging & OCT matter:
• Detect early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease
• Monitor subtle changes in eye health year over year
• Help protect not just your vision, but your overall health

Many eye and systemic conditions develop silently. This standard-of-care advanced imaging gives us a clearer picture, so we can act early and help preserve your sight for the future.

📅 Schedule your annual eye exam—because your vision deserves proactive care.

Too much screen time lately? 🙋‍♀️📱

Give your eyes a break with the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It’s a small change that can make a big difference!
