Eye safety isn't just for work environments. Most people do not think of eye safety at home, but half of all eye injuries happen in this “safe” place. What’s more, about 90% of all eye injuries could be prevented by wearing proper eye protection. From cooking and cleaning to mowing the lawn and do-it-yourself home repairs, eye injuries occur every day while performing routine activities around the house.

Whether it's grabbing sunglasses on the way out the door, adding a broad brimmed hat to the beach bag or wearing safety glasses for yard work, taking a few minutes to protect your eyes could protect you from serious eye injuries or even permanent vision loss.

Proper eye safety helps ensure that vision lasts a lifetime!

Absolutely!

I’m so immeasurably proud of these two!

Not only did they both just pass their Certified Canadian Optometric Assistant exams, but they passed them with flying colours!

They have both put so much work into this course all year and kept pushing through one module at a time. They were so supportive of each other throughout the whole course and were such good sports!

CONGRATULATIONS Tarina and Jenna! 👏🎊🎉

3-year-old to their mom after she had her eyes dilated: “What’s the mater mommy? Your eyes broken?”

Patient: “No honey, mommy’s pupils were just dilated by the eye doctor.”

3 year old: “Mommy, you need a new doctor.”

VERY exciting news! The Eye See Eye Learn program is now up and running in Nova Scotia! 🤓

This means that’s kids in primary and pre-primary who need glasses are eligible for a FREE pair! 👓

This program is provided through participating optometrists in Nova Scotia (including yours truly 😉).

1 in 4 kids have a vision problem - but most don’t know they do or do not show signs because (shocker) they literally have never seen any differently).

Kids are recommended to have at least ONE eye exam with an OPTOMETRIST before starting school.

MSI covers eye exam for kids 9 and younger.
