Remember to use extra caution if you plan on using costume contact lenses this Halloween. Without a proper fitting your risk of infection and corneal abrasion increases. If you experience soreness or discomfort, discontinue use and contact your eye care professional immediately 🤓

Miss Ellinore charmed us with her curls and sweet smile this week! She kept comparing her vision lifting her glasses up and down realizing how well her vision improved with her first pair of glasses. Being in the first grade was a perfect time to come for her eye exam. She’s looking forward to sledding 🛷this winter and working on her colouring. 🖍️ We are proud to be a part of your story 🤗

White Cane Day is a day we acknowledge those who are visually impaired or blind and require the assistance of using a white cane. Introduced in the 1930s, white canes assist visually impaired people by allowing them to navigate life independently.

Maeve needed a frame that would fit great and be durable. She is a great helper with the cow chores at home and likes to see the calves. I’ve also heard she likes to sing and is a wonderful big sister! The nano frames provide the durability she’s needing and the colour is perfect on her! Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁

Astigmatism isn’t an eye disease — it’s simply an irregular shape of the cornea or lens that causes blurred or distorted vision at any distance.

Kids with astigmatism might:
🔹 Complain of headaches or tired eyes
🔹 Avoid reading or up-close work
🔹 Squint or tilt their head to see better

📊 Many children don’t notice anything is “wrong” — they just adapt.
🩺 An OHIP-covered eye exam can detect astigmatism early and correct it with glasses or contact lenses.

✅ First eye exam at 6 months
✅ Annual exams after age 3

Clear vision helps your child learn, play, and thrive.
