If you constantly wake up with aching, dry eyes, it can feel like there’s no such thing as a proper night’s sleep. Your symptoms could be due to dry eye disease, which is usually caused by a problem with tear production. While it can help to run a humidifier at night, we encourage you to book an eye exam so we can create a custom dry eye solution for you. Visit our website to book.

We know it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, but the phoropter was actually invented more than a century ago! This stalwart piece of optometry equipment helps your optometrist determine your refractive error. They will switch between lenses and ask you which one helps you to see more clearly. ''What's better, 1 or 2'' (And if they look the same to you, that’s OK!) Head to our website to book your next eye exam.

If your eyes frequently feel dry, you probably have your tears to blame. Tears are made up of 3 layers: mucin, water, and oil. The meibomian glands in your eyelids supply the oil layer, and when those glands get blocked, your tears don’t work properly. Visit us for a dry eye assessment so we can treat your dry eye and provide you with lasting relief.
