👀Think your vision is fine? That’s great. But clear sight doesn’t always mean healthy eyes.

🔍Regular eye exams do way more than update your prescription. They can help catch early signs of certain conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, dry eye, and health changes linked to diabetes or high blood pressure, to name a few.

📆Many eye issues develop quietly, which is why routine exams matter even when everything feels normal. If it’s been a while, consider this your sign. Book your routine eye exam with one of our optometrists at Northern Lights Optometry today and give your eyes the care they deserve!

This week, World Council of Optometry is celebrating .

Optometrists do more than check your vision; at any age, they assess your eye health and can detect early signs of common eye conditions, as well as serious health issues, often before you notice any symptoms.

Your optometrist is here to help you take control of your eye health and protect your vision now and for years to come.

👀Kids won’t always say they’re having trouble seeing, but the signs are there.

📱Watch for signs like squinting, rubbing eyes, or sitting super close to screens.

📆If you notice any of these symptoms, book an eye exam with us. Regular comprehensive eye exams are important because they provide the opportunity to help identify and treat vision issues before they become more serious.

😎Think sunglasses are just a summer thing? Think again! While cheering on the many outdoor sports events happening around Whitehorse, remember to keep your eyes protected.

🌞UV rays are just as strong in the winter as they are in the summer. In fact, UV exposure can be even more intense when reflecting off the snow. Overexposure to UV rays increases your risk of developing many ocular conditions including, cataracts, corneal sunburns, eyelid cancer, Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and a build up of scar tissue on the ocular surface, to name a few. Ensure you wear good quality sunglasses that cover 100% of UVA/UVB rays to help minimize the risks of UV exposure.

🕶️Visit us at Northern Lights Optometry in downtown Whitehorse and explore our great selection of sunglasses today!

📍We are located at: 2093 2nd Avenue (in the Optometrists Building), across from the Yukon Visitor Information Centre, just steps from Main Street and the Yukon River. Open Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm.

💻Are you looking at screens all day? If you answered yes, your eyes are working just as hard as you are!

👀Now is a great time to focus on healthier screen habits. Be sure to blink more, take breaks, and try the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something at least 20 feet away).

😃Little changes in your routine can help your eyes feel better throughout the day.

👀We get it. It can be tempting to stretch the life of your contact lenses by wearing them an extra day or 2, but this simple habit can compromise your eye health. Over-wearing contact lenses reduces comfort and, more seriously, increases the risk of complications.

📆If you want to try contact lenses with different wear schedules, our team can help. Book your appointment with one of our optometrists today to learn more!
