📚👀 Did you know? Your child’s vision can significantly affect their learning. Nearly 80% of what kids learn in school is presented visually – from reading, to copying notes, to focusing on the whiteboard.

👧 1 in 4 kids has an undetected vision problem that can look like:
🔎 Trouble paying attention
📖 Slow reading or skipping lines
🤷 “Daydreaming” in class
😔 Struggling with confidence

👓 Good vision = better learning.
A comprehensive eye exam can catch what school screenings often miss — and set your child up for success.

✅ Back-to-School Tip: Book an eye exam before the school year starts to make sure their vision is ready to learn!

‼️And don’t forget, children’s eye exams with their optometrist - from comprehensive health checks to treatment/prescribing for pink eye - are covered by MSP.

🔔 For the month of September, every child who has an exam at Cordova Bay Optometry will be entered to win a prize pack!

👩‍🏫📚 Back to school is here! 📝🚌

As part of your back-to-school checklist, make sure one of the items on your list is your child’s annual eye check to ensure their vision is healthy and ready for learning.

In British Columbia, their eye exam is covered by the Medical Services Plan (MSP) up until the age of 18. This exam checks for vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and other eye conditions such as lazy eye or crossed eyes, and other binocular vision disorders that can impact academic performance.

And to make it more fun for them, any children’s eye exam booked in the month of September will be entered to win a LEGO Prize Pack 🤯 (and yes, every kid gets a treasure chest prize at the end of their exam… and, rumour has it, our office also is often stocked with cookies 🍪 🤫)

Lastly, we will also be running a “back-to-school” food drive to help provide families with children facing food insecurity the necessary food items to start the academic year strong. Donate a kid-approved, non-perishable item and receive 10% off your purchase* (a classic win-win scenario!).

All items will be passed on to the to be distributed to our community.



*Unfortunatley, we cannot accept donations expiring within 6 months. Cannot be combined with other offers and some restrictions apply.

👀 Fun Eye Fact 👀

Your cornea is the only part of your body with no blood supply… well, sort of. While it is a unique avascular tissue, other tissues such as cartilage, epidermis and the eye’s crystalline lens also lack direct blood supply and, instead, rely on diffusion from surrounding tissues or fluids for oxygen and nutrients.

Why does the cornea lack blood vessels? So you can see! It is crucial for the transparency and its function, as blood vessels would obstruct light.

Where does the cornea get its nutrients? It receives oxygen directly from the air and tears, as well as the aqueous humour directly behind it.

Does the cornea ever have blood vessels? Yes, the growth of new blood vessels into the cornea is called neovascularization but it’s not a good thing. This occurs as a response to oxygen deprivation or corneal damage such as chronic overwear or contact lenses.

👀 Fun Eye Fact Friday 👀

Humans blink on average 10,000 a day! In fact when you look at a screen that rate can be cut in half so don’t forget to build screen breaks into your work day (think of the 20-20-20 rule).

20-20-20 rule: a simple technique to help prevent digital eye strain and dry eye symptoms, particularly when working at a computer or using other digital devices for extended periods. It involves taking a break every 20 minutes to focus on something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
