We hope everyone is enjoying their holidays and getting ready to ring in the new year! If you haven’t already, we encourage you to use up your benefits before they expire (if you don’t it’s like throwing away money!). For our optometry blog today, we’ll be busting common myths about eyes that we hear quite […]

We all love picking out frames (well most of us) because it’s the most fun part of the whole process. Where things get confusing and where customers often get taken advantage of is the lens selection. Optics is a whole different technical language and one that the everyday person probably doesn’t understand. There are so […]
For many of us, we go to see the optometrist to get a prescription for glasses. We do the “1 or 2” test and then we get some numbers printed out on a piece of paper we know to be our “glasses prescription”. But what do the numbers mean? Patients are often told you’re “far-sighted”, […]
Most people get their eyes checked and purchase new glasses once every two years or so if you think about it, it’s really only $1 a day (or less) that you’ve spent to ensure you can see properly and are protecting your eyes from day to day elements (ie. blue light or UV depending on the lens material).

Our apologies for not having more brand spotlights for you guys. It turned out to be more difficult than first anticipated. I would like to introduce Kuver! It’s a unique brand that is designed right here our beautiful city Vancouver and all the frames are names of streets. It’s a relatively new brand and I […]
To continue our topic on blue light, we know that spending a lot of time exposed to it can have negative side effects not only on our ocular health, but also on our bodies as a whole. So we’ve come up with solutions to protect our eyes, because realistically our jobs require us to spend […]
So now that we’ve talked about what blue light is and how it affects us as adults, I wanted to talk specifically about how it negatively affects children. Little humans now a day are much more exposed to electronics than we (90’s and older children) were at the same age – computers were only just […]
