🎃👀 Halloween Safety Tip: Be Seen and Stay Safe!

As little ghosts and goblins head out for trick-or-treating tonight, make sure visibility is part of your costume plan! ✨

Here are a few eye-friendly safety tips from Cordova Bay Optometry:

🕸️ Add reflective tape or glow sticks to costumes and treat bags.

🕷️ Carry a flashlight or use clip-on LED lights to help others see you.

🕸️ Avoid masks or costume pieces that block vision—clear sight helps prevent trips and tumbles!

🕷️ Encourage kids to make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street.

From our team to your family—have a fun, safe, and brightly visible Halloween night! 🧡

👀 Are your eyes feeling dry, tired, or irritated after a long day on screens? Perhaps you watched a nerve wracking 18 inning baseball game recently 😬

You’re not alone! With so much time spent on phones, computers, and tablets, digital eye strain is becoming more common than ever.

💻 When we focus on screens, we blink up to 60% less often, causing our tears to evaporate faster — leaving eyes feeling dry, scratchy, and uncomfortable.

✨ Tips to refresh your eyes:

1️⃣ Follow the 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

2️⃣ Remember to blink often (set a reminder if you need to!).

3️⃣ Use artificial tears (ideally preservative free) and/or humidifiers to keep your eyes hydrated.

4️⃣ Practice good lid hygiene to keep those meibomian glands flowing.

5️⃣ Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids (ideally water) throughout the day and include omega-3 rich foods in your diet.

6️⃣ Schedule a comprehensive eye exam to rule out underlying dryness.

Your eyes work hard for you — let’s take care of them!

Oh, and Let’s Go Blue Jays 🧢⚾️!!!

📚👀 Did you know? Your child’s vision can significantly affect their learning. Nearly 80% of what kids learn in school is presented visually – from reading, to copying notes, to focusing on the whiteboard.

👧 1 in 4 kids has an undetected vision problem that can look like:
🔎 Trouble paying attention
📖 Slow reading or skipping lines
🤷 “Daydreaming” in class
😔 Struggling with confidence

👓 Good vision = better learning.
A comprehensive eye exam can catch what school screenings often miss — and set your child up for success.

✅ Back-to-School Tip: Book an eye exam before the school year starts to make sure their vision is ready to learn!

‼️And don’t forget, children’s eye exams with their optometrist - from comprehensive health checks to treatment/prescribing for pink eye - are covered by MSP.

🔔 For the month of September, every child who has an exam at Cordova Bay Optometry will be entered to win a prize pack!

👩‍🏫📚 Back to school is here! 📝🚌

As part of your back-to-school checklist, make sure one of the items on your list is your child’s annual eye check to ensure their vision is healthy and ready for learning.

In British Columbia, their eye exam is covered by the Medical Services Plan (MSP) up until the age of 18. This exam checks for vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and other eye conditions such as lazy eye or crossed eyes, and other binocular vision disorders that can impact academic performance.

And to make it more fun for them, any children’s eye exam booked in the month of September will be entered to win a LEGO Prize Pack 🤯 (and yes, every kid gets a treasure chest prize at the end of their exam… and, rumour has it, our office also is often stocked with cookies 🍪 🤫)

Lastly, we will also be running a “back-to-school” food drive to help provide families with children facing food insecurity the necessary food items to start the academic year strong. Donate a kid-approved, non-perishable item and receive 10% off your purchase* (a classic win-win scenario!).

All items will be passed on to the to be distributed to our community.



*Unfortunatley, we cannot accept donations expiring within 6 months. Cannot be combined with other offers and some restrictions apply.

👀 Fun Eye Fact 👀

Your cornea is the only part of your body with no blood supply… well, sort of. While it is a unique avascular tissue, other tissues such as cartilage, epidermis and the eye’s crystalline lens also lack direct blood supply and, instead, rely on diffusion from surrounding tissues or fluids for oxygen and nutrients.

Why does the cornea lack blood vessels? So you can see! It is crucial for the transparency and its function, as blood vessels would obstruct light.

Where does the cornea get its nutrients? It receives oxygen directly from the air and tears, as well as the aqueous humour directly behind it.

Does the cornea ever have blood vessels? Yes, the growth of new blood vessels into the cornea is called neovascularization but it’s not a good thing. This occurs as a response to oxygen deprivation or corneal damage such as chronic overwear or contact lenses.
