Daylight saving time starts this weekend, which means brighter evenings and more time spent outside.

With longer daylight hours comes increased UV exposure. Quality sunglasses do more than reduce glare; they help protect your eyes from harmful UV rays that can contribute to long-term eye health concerns.

As we head into spring, take a moment to make sure your sunglasses offer full UV protection and are ready for the season ahead. Stop by to explore our selection or schedule an appointment through our website if you need updated prescription sunglasses.

The first eye exam is one of the most important your child will ever have.

Young children often don’t realize they’re seeing “blurry,” because they’ve never experienced anything different. Even kids who seem to see well at a distance can have trouble with near vision, which can affect reading, focus, and learning.

Comprehensive eye exams allow us to check for proper development, eye health, and whether glasses are needed, all in a quick and comfortable visit. We recommend children have their first eye exam before age 5 and continue annually, or as advised by their doctor. Early detection makes a lasting difference.

Schedule your child’s eye exam through our website to help them see clearly at school, at play, and everywhere in between.

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.
