Lower humidity, cold air outside, and heated indoor spaces can all make lenses feel drier or less comfortable during winter months. Some people notice irritation, shorter comfortable wear time, or the need to blink more often to refocus.

If contacts don’t feel quite right this time of year, it may be worth checking in on your fit or lens type. Small adjustments can make a noticeable difference in comfort.

You can schedule an appointment through our website to talk with one of our doctors about your options.

Avulux is the only clinically proven lens designed specifically for people who experience migraine and light sensitivity. Unlike tinted “migraine glasses,” Avulux lenses precisely filter the wavelengths of light most likely to trigger or worsen migraine, while maintaining natural color perception.

Many patients report they’re able to return to daily activities more comfortably when wearing Avulux, whether at work, indoors, or outside. Avulux lenses are available in both prescription and non-prescription options and can be part of a broader migraine management plan.

If light sensitivity plays a role in your migraines, talk with our doctors to see if Avulux may be a good fit for you.

Even on cold and cloudy days, UV rays don’t disappear. When snow is on the ground, that reflection can significantly increase exposure, especially at higher elevations.

Whether we get snow locally this year or you’re heading up to Mt. Baker to ski or snowboard, or traveling somewhere snowy, it’s an important reminder to protect your eyes with proper UV-blocking sunglasses or goggles.

If you’re not sure whether your eyewear offers full UV protection, our team can help. Schedule an appointment through our website to make sure your eyes are covered this winter.

🎄 Merry Christmas from Mt Baker Vision Clinic.

We’re grateful for the patients and families who trust us with their eye care, and for the community we’re proud to be part of. Wishing you a peaceful day filled with time well spent and moments worth seeing clearly.

The end of the year is often when routines slow down, a good time to check in on things that are easy to miss during the busy school year, including kids’ vision.

Changes in eyesight don’t always come with obvious complaints, but they can affect reading, focus, and comfort long before a child knows how to explain it. Pediatric eye exams help catch those changes early and keep kids seeing comfortably as they grow.

We’re here for families, during the school year and in the quieter moments around the holidays. Head to our website to schedule your appointment now.

We’re introducing the MBVC Direct Care Membership, a monthly vision care option for patients who don’t have vision insurance or want an alternative to it.

Instead of paying for exams and eyewear separately, members pay a set monthly amount and receive routine eye care and built-in savings on glasses or contact lenses.

It’s not insurance. It’s simply another way to plan and pay for your vision care.

Stay tuned for more details - coming soon!

Holiday headaches aren’t always from the holidays themselves, sometimes they start with your eyes.

Tasks like decorating, reading recipes, wrapping gifts, or driving in dim winter light can make small vision changes more noticeable. When your eyes have to work harder to focus, it can lead to tension and headaches.

If headaches seem to show up more often this season, it might be a sign that your prescription needs an update or that your eyes are working harder than they should. You can schedule your next exam through our website today.

The holidays are full of little things worth noticing. The glow of the tree, the way the lights reflect off each ornament, the details that make your home feel festive. Clear vision helps bring all of that into focus.

If those details feel a bit harder to see this year, it might be time to check in on your prescription. Even small changes in vision can show up during tasks that rely on contrast and close-up focus, like decorating for the season.

Book your next eye exam through our website and keep your vision clear this holiday season.

As the year winds down, it’s a natural time to pause and think about the routines that support your overall wellbeing. Healthy vision plays a bigger role in daily life than many people realize, from reading and driving to long-term eye and whole-body health.

Scheduling a comprehensive eye exam is a simple way to make eye care part of your wellness routine in the year ahead. Your future vision will thank you.

📅 Our end-of-year eye exams tend to go fast, so make sure to book online soon through our website!

As we move into winter, our eyes spend more time working in dim conditions. Low-light environments make it harder for your eyes to focus, which can lead to more squinting, headaches or brow tension, tired, dry, or “heavy” eyes, and trouble seeing detail or reading small text.

These changes are normal this time of year, and a few small adjustments can make a big difference:

🔹 Add soft ambient lighting around your space to reduce contrast
🔹 Use task lighting for reading, cooking, or detailed work
🔹 Take brief visual breaks to help your eyes reset
🔹 Keep glasses clean to maximize clarity in low light

If you’re noticing more strain than usual, or difficulty focusing even with good lighting, it may be time to check in on your prescription. Schedule your eye exam at Mt Baker Vision Clinic to keep your vision comfortable all winter long.
