When it comes to glasses, there’s a lot more to it than just picking a frame! Every pair we fit in-office is customized — from pupillary distance and lens height to frame adjustments — to make sure your vision and comfort are perfect.

Buying online might seem convenient, but those measurements make a big difference. 👓

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.

✏️🚌Vision plays a bigger role in learning than most people realize. 📚✂️

Reading, focusing, understanding lessons, and participating in class — all of these depend heavily on clear vision.

Yet many children go years without ever having an eye exam. Why? Because they don’t know what “clear” is supposed to look like — and they can’t describe what they’ve never seen clearly.

That’s why back-to-school season is a great time to raise awareness about the importance of children’s eye health.

Ontario's optometrists are dedicated to helping doctors and patients learn and grow.

👓 Thinking of ordering your glasses online?

We understand the appeal — quick, affordable, and convenient. But here’s what we’re seeing more and more often in our clinic:

📌 Patients coming in with glasses that don’t fit properly
📌 Incorrect prescriptions due to measurement errors
📌 No warranty, service, or adjustment support
📌 And in many cases… having to purchase a new pair anyway.

We want you to love your glasses and feel confident in your vision. That’s why, when you buy directly from our clinic, you’re not just getting glasses — you’re getting:

✔ Personalized fitting
✔ Accurate measurements
✔ Access to professional adjustments
✔ Warranty protection
✔ Peace of mind.

Online shopping has its place — but when it comes to your eyes, the right fit matters. We’re here to help you make the best choice for your health and your budget. ❤️

Persistent eye discomfort isn’t something you have to live with.

The Ontario Association of Optometrists just shared a great blog that dives into one of the most common — and often overlooked — eye conditions.

Worth a read if your eyes often feel dry, gritty, or unusually watery 👇
