January is Glaucoma Awareness Month 🗓️ ⁠

Glaucoma is often called the silent thief of sight, not because it’s rare, but because it doesn’t announce itself. Many people lose peripheral vision slowly, without pain or obvious warning. By the time it’s noticed, damage can be permanent. ⁠

Regular eye exams don’t just check vision; they also help protect it long before symptoms appear. ⁠

❄️ Cold Prairie winters are tough on more than trucks and tools; they’re hard on eyes, too. ⁠

Dry air, wind, and glare from snow can quietly cause irritation and strain. ⁠

🚨If your eyes burn or water outdoors, that’s not “just winter.” Make sure to schedule an appointment with your optometrist!⁠

It’s February, which means it’s Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Low Vision Awareness Month! Did you know that AMD is the leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 60? It’s important to learn the early signs of AMD and how to prevent it.🧐 Early signs may include blurry vision, distorted vision, or a dark spot in the middle of your vision.

Regular eye exams, eating a healthy diet, quitting smoking, and protecting your eyes from the sun can help reduce your risk of developing AMD and preserve your vision.

To goggle up, or not to goggle up? 🏂🏼⛷️⁠

UV Rays 🌤️ are harmful to your eyes, and often we forget that if we put on a hat, we protect our eyes from the sun but not the rays reflected off the snow! ❄️⁠

When choosing your snowboarding goggles, make sure that you select polarising lenses. Most people are unaware that excessive wind exposure to your eye can cause the white part of your eye to become irritated, which can lead to a yellow discolouration - also called Pinguecula. 😳⁠

So the verdict is in. Goggle up! 😎⁠

If you’re interested in checking out prescription safety eyewear or snowboarding goggles, make an appointment with our Opticians, who will be happy to answer all your questions! 💯⁠
