Digital Eye Strain & Dry Eye

💻✨ *Your screen time could be drying out your eyes.*

Did you know staring at digital screens reduces blink rate by up to 60%?

The result? Dry, tired eyes by the end of the day.

Try the *20-20-20 rule*: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Still struggling? We’ve got you.
📞 Book your dry eye evaluation at 355-4TOC(862)

📉 Low grades? Behaviour problems? Hates reading? Frustrated homework sessions?
It might not be laziness or attitude — it could be their eyes!

👁️‍🗨️ Undiagnosed vision issues can make school a daily struggle — from headaches and eye strain to difficulty focusing, tracking, or even understanding what’s on the board. Vision problems can quietly impact your child’s ability to read, concentrate, and succeed in the classroom. Many children don’t even realise they’re not seeing clearly.

💡 At The Optometric Centre (TOC), we specialise in child-friendly eye exams designed to uncover hidden visual issues that can impact learning, behaviour, and confidence.

📍 Why choose TOC?
✅ Experienced with kids of all ages
✅ Comprehensive eye exams, not just sight tests
✅ Warm, welcoming space in Maraval
✅ We take the time to explain results and next steps

🎓 Give your child the vision support they need to thrive in the classroom — and in life.

🧠 Knowledge is relief.

As Cataract Awareness Month comes to an end, we want everyone to know that clearer vision is possible with cataract surgery!
Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most effective eye procedures available. Most patients notice clearer, brighter vision within days.

Our team will guide you before and after surgery to ensure the best care possible.

👁️ Early detection = better outcomes.

🌍 Big news from TOC!
We were honoured to have our very own Niall Farnon speak at the World Council of Optometry Conference 2025 alongside his US colleague Dr Jeff Weaver 🌍✨

Their session, “Keeping an Eye on Burnout and Stress,” explored how eye care professionals can stay resilient, support each other, and continue to deliver exceptional patient care — without losing sight of their own well-being. 💚🧠

Because thriving optometrists = thriving patients.

We’re proud to be part of the global conversation and so proud to see Caribbean optometry taking its place on the world stage — and even prouder to bring that knowledge right back home to serve you, our patients.

Because no matter how far we go, you are always the centre of our focus. 💙

25/06/2025

👁️ News from the Vision Source Gateway Tour, where our optometrist Niall spent the day diving deep into one powerful theme: Artificial Intelligence in eye care.

What does that mean for you, our patients?
It means earlier detection of eye conditions.
More personalised treatment plans.
And even greater precision in protecting your vision.

But most importantly — AI isn’t here to replace the human touch.

It’s here to help us care better, see more, and act sooner — so you stay at the centre of everything we do.

We’re excited about the future of eye care, and we’re bringing that future home to TOC. 💙
