Hey there! Don’t forget to blink. Spending prolonged periods using screens? You’re not alone. Screen use can reduce your blink rate by more than 60%, often leading to dry eyes, irritation, and digital eye strain. Place a sticky note by your computer while you work or even set an alarm! Just remind yourself to consciously blink more when using screens!

This week we celebrated our lovely mama-to-be, Cassie! We all came together for a farewell-for-now fiesta at our favourite Mountain Mexican, El B***o Cantina

The countdown is on before Cassie heads off on maternity leave and while she’s away our lovely new optometrist Sarah will be here, as Cassie would say, looking after your eyeballs! You’re in excellent hands.

We’ll miss you Cassie! Enjoy the baby snuggles! We can’t wait to meet the baby burrito 💛🌮🌯

It’s Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that each human eye contains over two million working parts and processes around 36,000 pieces of information every single hour?

Our eyes do so much more than just help us see - they’re incredible, complex organs that deserve care and attention.

This week, we shine a light on diabetes and eye health for National Diabetes Week.
While diabetes is often associated with blood sugar management, it can also affect eye health. Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of several eye conditions that may affect vision over time. Many diabetes-related eye conditions can develop gradually and without noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Regular eye examinations are an important part of monitoring eye health and detecting changes over time.
This National Diabetes Week, take a moment to learn more about the connection between diabetes and eye health. If you have questions about your eye health or vision, speak with your optometrist.
