🕶️ Choosing Sunglasses? Here’s 3 Simple Rules to Protect Your Eyes:

1️⃣ Always check for UV400 protection – this means your lenses block 100% of both UVA & UVB rays.
2️⃣ Bigger is better – larger lenses or wraparounds shield more skin.
3️⃣ Dark tint ≠ better protection – it's the UV filter that matters, not the shade.

❓Did you know: Even clear lenses can offer UV400 if properly coated!

💬 Drop a “☀️” if you check for UV400 when buying sunglasses
📍Tag a friend who needs to upgrade their sunnies!

Celebrating 10 Years of Vision, Care, and Community ✨

This month, we celebrate a meaningful milestone — 10 years of serving Calgary with trusted eye care and a commitment to excellence that never wavers.

To our patients: thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives, your families, and your stories. Your trust means everything.

To our community: thank you for embracing us, supporting us, and growing with us.

To our team: your dedication, warmth, and professionalism are the heart of this clinic. Thank you for the care you bring to each patient, every single day.

And to our founders, Dr. Brent Hopfauf and Dr. Chelsea Gerlitz — your vision, leadership, and dedication have shaped a clinic we’re proud to call home.

We also want to extend a very special thank you to Dr. Bob Demara-the man who started it all. We could not be more honoured that he chose us to continue his legacy.

Here’s to a decade of clarity, connection, and care — and to the years ahead, continuing to serve Calgary with heart and purpose.

Your eyes need SPF too.
UV rays can silently damage your vision over time—think cataracts, macular degeneration, and even eye cancer.

Protect your vision like you protect your skin:
• Wear UV 400-blocking sunglasses
• Choose polarized lenses for extra glare defense
• Add a wide-brim hat for double protection
• Avoid direct sun during peak hours (10am–4pm)

Your future self will thank you—with clear, healthy eyes.
