Holiday headaches aren’t always from the holidays themselves, sometimes they start with your eyes.

Tasks like decorating, reading recipes, wrapping gifts, or driving in dim winter light can make small vision changes more noticeable. When your eyes have to work harder to focus, it can lead to tension and headaches.

If headaches seem to show up more often this season, it might be a sign that your prescription needs an update or that your eyes are working harder than they should. You can schedule your next exam through our website today.

The holidays are full of little things worth noticing. The glow of the tree, the way the lights reflect off each ornament, the details that make your home feel festive. Clear vision helps bring all of that into focus.

If those details feel a bit harder to see this year, it might be time to check in on your prescription. Even small changes in vision can show up during tasks that rely on contrast and close-up focus, like decorating for the season.

Book your next eye exam through our website and keep your vision clear this holiday season.

As we move into winter, our eyes spend more time working in dim conditions. Low-light environments make it harder for your eyes to focus, which can lead to more squinting, headaches or brow tension, tired, dry, or “heavy” eyes, and trouble seeing detail or reading small text.

These changes are normal this time of year, and a few small adjustments can make a big difference:

🔹 Add soft ambient lighting around your space to reduce contrast
🔹 Use task lighting for reading, cooking, or detailed work
🔹 Take brief visual breaks to help your eyes reset
🔹 Keep glasses clean to maximize clarity in low light

If you’re noticing more strain than usual, or difficulty focusing even with good lighting, it may be time to check in on your prescription. Schedule your eye exam at Mt Baker Vision Clinic to keep your vision comfortable all winter long.

Thinking about switching to contacts? Here’s what to keep in mind:

1️⃣ Start with an exam: Every eye is different. A contact lens fitting includes measurements, tear film evaluation, and a discussion about your vision needs.

2️⃣ Know your options: Daily, bi-weekly, and monthly lenses all have pros and cons, and your doctor can help find what fits your routine best.

3️⃣ Match to your lifestyle: Whether you’re dealing with astigmatism, need multifocals, or spend long hours on screens, there’s a lens made for you.

4️⃣ Care is key: Clean hands, proper storage, and replacing lenses on time keep your eyes healthy and comfortable.

November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of vision loss among adults, but with the right medical care and regular eye exams, many complications can be caught early.

While your primary care provider manages your overall health, our team helps monitor how diabetes can affect your eyes. Many diabetic eye changes happen quietly, so routine eye exams are an important part of your care plan.

If you have diabetes or are at risk, make sure both your primary care provider and your eye care team are part of keeping your vision clear!

Schedule your next exam through our website today.
