Now that the colder weather is upon us, you might feel your eyes getting drier! It’s completely normal as the cold air and wind causes tears to evaporate faster.

There are a few tips and tricks to help reduce the winter dry eye:

💧Staying hydrated by drinking a lot of fluids is essential for not only your eyes, but for your entire body.
📱 Reduce screen time as much as possible or blink often to produce more tears
🏡 Use a humidifier or keep indoor temperature moderate
🕶️ Block wind using sunglasses or any eye protection
🐟 Supplement with omega-3-rich foods such as fish, flaxseed, and walnuts
👩🏻‍⚕️ If symptoms persist or worsen, see your optometrist for a more thorough examination!

If one of your eyes needs a much stronger prescription than the other, standard lenses can sometimes make images look different in size between your eyes, which can be very confusing for your brain! This condition is called aniseikonia.

That’s where iseikonic lenses come in! These lenses are specially designed to balance image size and magnification, helping your eyes and brain work together more comfortably and improving depth perception.

If you have a large difference in prescription between your eyes, talk to your optometrist about options like iseikonic lenses to help support your binocular vision system.

Did you know UV rays can damage your eyes even on cloudy or snowy days?

That’s why polarized sunglasses aren’t just a summer accessory, they’re a year-round essential! Whether you’re driving, running, boating, or skiing, polarized sunglasses come with many benefits, helping you see more clearly and comfortably. 🕶️⛷️🚤

Pair your protection with regular eye exams to keep your vision in top shape. An eye exam helps detect early signs of UV-related changes and ensures your prescription and eye health are up to date. 👁️✨

At Polaris Eye Care, we pause today to honour the survivors of residential schools, the families impacted, and the children who never returned home. This day is a time to reflect on the truth of Canada’s history, acknowledge the lasting impact of residential schools, and commit to listening, learning, and supporting healing in Indigenous communities.

As healthcare providers, we are reminded that access to care is not equal for everyone. Indigenous communities continue to face barriers in health, including eye care, and reconciliation means working toward a future where care is accessible, compassionate, and culturally respectful.

We encourage everyone to listen, learn, and reflect on the truths of our shared history — because every child, every person, matters. 🧡

Diabetes can affect more than just your blood sugar!

Many people don’t realize that diabetes can lead to serious eye conditions like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and even vision loss — and the scary part? These changes often happen without noticeable symptoms in the early stages.

That’s why yearly eye exams for people with diabetes aren’t just recommended — they’re essential. Your eyes can offer early warning signs of complications long before you notice any changes in your vision. Early detection gives you the best chance to protect your sight and maintain a lifetime of healthy vision.
⁣
Even if your blood sugar is well-managed, regular eye check-ups help us catch subtle changes that could affect your vision over time.
⁣
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear — Contact us today to schedule your annual diabetic eye exam!
