If you’ve ever felt scratchy, irritated eyes that no amount of blinking can relieve, you might be experiencing the frustrating indications of dry eye syndrome. To combat these disruptive symptoms, your optometrist can help identify remedies and treatment options that will work for you.

Our sight is one of our most valued senses. Our eyes allow us to perceive the world around us and fully enjoy life’s experiences. However, certain conditions like glaucoma can threaten our vision and lead to irreversible vision loss.

Refractive errors are common eye conditions that can cause blurred vision and other symptoms. Comprehensive eye exams can help detect eye conditions like refractive errors, and your optometrist can help you achieve clear vision.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed when shopping for glasses, you’re not alone. It can be tricky to find the right frames for your face shape.

Something often asked by patients is whether we can reverse myopia. It’s an understandable question since nearly 30% of the Canadian population is myopic.

Life catches up with you fast, and everyone likes to enjoy a nap from time to time. When you’re exhausted after a long day, you may wonder if it’s worth taking off your contact lenses, or you may accidentally drift off while they’re still in your eyes.

Contact lenses and glasses are both viable options for meeting a patient’s vision needs. Your optometrist is qualified  and experienced in fitting contact lenses to your unique eye shape, so you can achieve effective vision correction and comfort throughout the day.

Sometimes, when you get a new pair of glasses they may take some time to get used to. It’s like looking at an HDTV when you’re used to a standard TV. It takes a while to get used to the sharper image, which can be jarring at first and convince you they aren’t useful.
