🎉 Congratulations are in order for Noah, who has officially been accepted to 𝗗𝗮𝗹𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 starting this September!

Since joining Insight as a Clinical Assistant on October 13, 2021, Noah has been an absolute star in our office. He brings humour, heart, initiative, and willingness to go above and beyond what’s expected, making this milestone especially well deserved. He has made a lasting impact on both our team and our patients.

While he will be missed so much, we couldn’t be prouder of this incredible achievement. Your future patients will be so lucky, Noah. 💙

𝟰𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. As we celebrate our anniversary, we can't help but reflect on the vision and dedication of our co-founders, whose care and commitment laid the foundation for everything we are today: a clinic guided by compassion, kindness, and community.

We’re equally grateful to our loyal patients who continue to trust us with their eye care, and to our incredible team whose passion, heart, and commitment bring that legacy to life every single day.

To celebrate this milestone in a way that reflects who we are - and as an extension of our ongoing 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗺 campaign, - 10% of today’s eyewear sales will support 𝗨𝗽𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁. Each token helps provide a nourishing meal for someone in our community—offered with dignity, no questions asked.

Come celebrate with us and help make kindness ripple a little further today. ❤️

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲. If you’ve noticed night driving getting more uncomfortable – you’re not alone.

👉 Transport Canada is currently running a survey on headlight glare, and they want to hear directly from road users about what they’re experiencing. 🔗 Link in bio to participate (survey closes April 20, 2026).

Even though regulations haven’t changed much in decades, lighting technology has evolved quickly—creating a mismatch between what’s allowed and what people are actually experiencing on the road.

Modern LED and HID headlights help drivers see farther, but they’re also part of a growing conversation across Canada. Many people report that headlights feel brighter than ever—sometimes even resembling high beams when they’re not. Factors like taller vehicles (SUVs and trucks), misaligned lights, and aftermarket upgrades can make glare feel more intense and more frequent.

Have you noticed this too? Let us know about your experience.

20/20 vision is often misunderstood. There’s more to good vision than seeing clearly at 20 feet.

When people hear “20/20 vision,” they automatically think “perfect vision” or vision so good that they could be a pilot. Unfortunately, that isn’t necessarily true. Having 20/20 vision doesn’t mean your eyesight is perfect, nor does it necessarily reflect the overall health of your eyes....

🎟 We have TWO tickets to give away for the 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽'𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼, on April 19 at The Westin Nova Scotian.

We’ll be there connecting with expecting parents and families to talk about eye health for the whole family — from vision changes during pregnancy to children’s eye development, what’s normal, what to watch for, and when it’s time for that first eye exam. 👀

It’s a great chance to ask questions, learn a few helpful tips, and feel more confident about caring for your family’s vision.

It’s all part of a fun, inspiring day focused on pregnancy and early parenthood. You’ll find dozens of local vendors and services, informative sessions throughout the day, chances to meet other parents, and plenty of great prizes.

🎟 DM us to enter for a chance to win.

🌞 March Break is almost here!

With longer, brighter days ahead, it’s a great reminder to protect your eyes — and your kids’ eyes — from harmful UV, whether they’re at camp, on snowy slopes, soaking up the sun at the beach, or enjoying a staycation at home.

Wherever the week takes you, don’t forget your shades. 😎

Sneak peek 👀

Today we partnered with and for something close to our hearts — connecting the dots between kindness, mental health, and Tony’s story.

We’re not ready to share it all just yet… but it felt like the perfect way to close out Random Acts of Kindness Week.

More soon.

Thank you Colleen for joining us and supporting us virtually ❤️
