It’s spring time and although the beautiful warm weather and pretty blossoming plants are wonderful, they do come with the potential for itchy eyes.

Seasonal allergic Conjunctivitis is the most common type of allergy that affects the eyes. This type of conjunctivitis occurs more commonly in the spring when grass, tree, flower, and ragweed pollens are abundant. Lids may be swollen and eyes red and itchy.

Treatment often includes allergy eye drops, applying cool compresses to the eyes, taking antihistamines and decreasing contact lens wear. However, if symptoms persist for an extended period of time after treatment, you should have your eyes examined by your ophthalmologist, as there could be a more serious eye problem.

It’s real. And more common than you think.
Whether you're working, scrolling, or streaming, prolonged screen time can take a toll on your eyes.

Symptoms include:
- Dry, irritated eyes
- Headaches
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Difficulty focusing

One simple way to protect your eyes is the 20-20-20 rule:
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet (6 metres) away for 20 seconds. This small habit can help relax your eye muscles and reduce digital eye strain.

Bonus tips:
- Blink often
- Adjust screen brightness
- Use blue light filters if needed
- Maintain a healthy distance from your screen

Your eyes work hard for you, give them the break they deserve.

Can I Outgrow Wearing Glasses? It depends on your age and prescription.

For children, some vision issues—like farsightedness—can improve with age as the eyes develop.

For teens and adults, changes are less likely to "fix themselves," but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with glasses forever.
Advances in eye care like LASIK, updated prescriptions, or even lifestyle changes can offer alternatives.

If you're wondering about your options, start with a comprehensive eye exam.

Thinking about laser vision correction?

Here’s what the LASIK process looks like:
- Consultation and eligibility tests.
- Painless procedure (15–30 minutes).
- Fast recovery — many see clearly within 24 hours.

Have you ever fallen asleep with your contact lenses in?

It might seem harmless, but it actually increases your risk of eye infections, corneal ulcers, and long-term vision damage. Contact lenses limit oxygen to your cornea — and sleeping in them makes it worse.

Unless you’ve been prescribed extended-wear lenses, always remove your contacts before bed. If you find yourself forgetting often, LASIK or other laser vision correction procedures could be an option for you. Speak to your ophthalmologist to find out if you’re a candidate.

Your eyes deserve the best care!
