🧬 Is Your Vision Written in Your Genes? 🌳👀
The biggest predictor of your eye health isn't always your age—it's your family tree! 🤯

We know why you inherited your eye color, but do you know if you inherited the risk for Glaucoma or Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)? Up to 70% of the risk for AMD is linked to your genes!

At Perspective Optometry, we don't just check your prescription; we use your family history as a roadmap for prevention.

Dr. Randhawa’s Human Nutrition Insight: Your genes load the gun, but your lifestyle pulls the trigger. Knowing your risk allows us to build a defense plan using targeted nutrients (like Lutein) to protect your retina.

Ask Your Family These 3 Questions Today:

Does anyone have glaucoma or high eye pressure?

Did anyone require special supplements for their macula (AMD)?

Did anyone need cataracts removed before age 60?

The Power of Proportion: How to Choose the Perfect Glasses for an Oval Face

When shopping for new eyewear, it's easy to focus only on color and brand. But the single most important factor in finding a truly transformative pair of glasses is face shape. A frame that complements your features can elevate your look and boost your confidence—a frame that clashes can be surprisingly distracting.

Recently, we challenged our Instagram followers with a fun comparison: This or That? We styled a model with an oval face in two beautiful tortoiseshell frames to show just how much a minor change in geometry can impact the overall look.

The Challenge: Two Frames, One Face
Our model has a classic oval face—a versatile shape characterized by balanced proportions, a gently rounded jawline, and high cheekbones. For our comparison, we chose two stylish frames:

Option 1 (The "Rounder" Frame): A deep, heavy, round-square frame.

Option 2 (The "Winning" Frame): A sleek, wider Rectangular/Modified Wayfarer.

The difference may seem subtle, but it's crucial! While both frames were fashionable, only one truly enhanced her features.

🏆 The Reveal: Why the Rectangular Frame Wins for Oval Faces
If you chose the more angular, wider frame (Option 2), you were absolutely right! This style is a perennial favorite for oval faces, and here's why it works:

1. It Maintains Natural Balance
Oval faces are considered the most balanced, and the goal of the frame should be to maintain that natural harmony.

The Rule: The best frame for an oval face is one that is wider than the widest part of the face (the cheekbones) and no deeper than the center of the face.

The Impact: The wider-than-deep rectangular shape of the winning frame respects the length of the oval face. The rounder, deeper frame (Option 1) added too much vertical weight, which can shorten the face and disrupt its elegant symmetry.

2. It Adds Subtle Definition
While the oval face shape is beautiful, the right frame can add just a touch of structure.

The winning frame has a slight upswept brow line (a modified Wayfarer or soft cat-eye). This subtle lift does two things:

It draws the eye slightly outward and upward.

It creates a gentle definition around the eye area and cheekbones.

3. It Doesn't Overpower the Features
Because the oval face is so well-proportioned, heavy or oversized frames can easily look out of place. The winning frame is substantial enough to make a statement but not so thick or deep that it overwhelms the model's eyes or cheekbones.

Finding Your Perfect Match
The oval face shape has the most freedom when it comes to eyewear, but the principles of proportionality and balance always apply. Next time you try on frames, keep these guidelines in mind:

Avoid: Frames that are too narrow (making your face look wider) or frames that are too deep (making your face look shorter).

Embrace: Rectangular, modified Wayfarers, and soft cat-eye shapes.

At Perspective Optometry, we don't just sell glasses—we fit you with eyewear that celebrates your unique face shape. Stop by our office and let one of our expert opticians guide you to your perfect pair!

It's Daylight Savings again. The sun will set at 4:48 this AFTERNOON in Vancouver. Problem: Your Eyes Need a Winter Reset!

It’s officially here: the sudden **4:30 PM darkness** that hits right in the middle of your evening commute and screen time. Your eyes are struggling to adjust to the short winter days!

The end of Daylight Saving Time is exposing major vision issues:

1. **Night Glare is MAXED:** Your pupils dilate in the early darkness, intensifying headlight glare and revealing underlying blurriness. It’s making night driving hazardous.
2. **Dry Eye Epidemic:** Indoor heating systems blast dry air, causing tear evaporation and extreme discomfort, especially for contact lens wearers.
3. **Reading is Tough:** Lower light levels make age-related focus issues (**Presbyopia**) impossible to ignore. If you’re over 40 and suddenly struggling to read your phone, the light change is why!

✅ Your Winter Vision Survival Plan:

Don't spend the next four months with strained, blurry eyes.

**The Fix:** Get your lenses optimized with **Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings** to conquer glare, come see us if your eyes are dry, and ensure your prescription is sharp enough for the dark—if your over 40 this might mean progressives.

💀 The Morning After: Your Eyes Just Hated That Candy Haul 🍬👁️
It was fun for a night, but let’s be real: that mountain of Halloween candy isn't just threatening your waistline—it’s silently creating trouble for your eyesight.

Here’s the Sweet Truth we want every Vancouver patient to know:

Your eye health is directly impacted by how your body handles sugar spikes. Too many refined carbs and sweets create toxic compounds called AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products).

👉 These AGEs are like sticky residue that damages the most delicate, light-sensing cells in your retina, dramatically raising your risk for serious conditions like Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and accelerating Cataract formation.

As Dr. Randhawa (who also has a degree in Human Nutrition) explains, preventative vision care starts on your plate. We're here to help you reset after the sugar rush!

🎯 Your Post-Halloween Eye Health Reset:
Drop the GI: Swap processed sweets for naturally fiber-rich, low-glycemic foods.

Fight Inflammation: Load up on Lutein and Omega-3s (think kale, spinach, and salmon) to help your eyes fight off the damage.

Don't wait for symptoms. Come see us so we can check for early signs of nutritional stress in your retina.
