EYE HEALTH IS IMPORTANT AT EVERY AGE 📚👀

Kids' eyes grow and change quickly, sometimes faster than parents expect. A prescription that was perfect last year may not be keeping up this year, and growing readers rely on their eyes for everything from picture books to chapter books and beyond.

Regular eye exams help track those changes through every stage of childhood, so small issues can be caught and managed before they get in the way of learning and play. And when eye care becomes a family habit early, kids carry that habit with them for life.

Whether it is a first exam for your littlest learner or a check-up for the whole household, we love seeing families make eye health part of the routine.

Healthy vision habits today, brighter learning tomorrow.

BACK TO SCHOOL, BACK TO SEEING CLEARLY 🎒👓

New classrooms, new whiteboards, and a lot of squinting that nobody noticed over the summer. The first weeks of September are some of our busiest for kids' eye exams, and a comprehensive exam sorts out whether a prescription is part of the picture. Alberta Health helps cover an annual eye exam for kids 18 and under, and the new benefit year started July 1.

If new glasses make the list, students save through October 3: 👇
✏️ 30% off teen frames
✏️ $20 off eyewear packages
✏️ 10% off Nikon lenses

Students only. Ophthalmic frames only; sunglasses excluded. Discounts apply to regular prices.
Book the exam and the frame pick together and we will get everyone sorted in one visit.

Here is to a school year seen clearly.

SPOT THE SCREEN HABITS? 💻👀

Work, coffee shop, couch — most of us log long screen days without noticing, and our eyes are the first to complain. Tired, dry, achy eyes and end-of-day headaches are usually the cue to build in better habits.

Save this for your next long screen day 👇
⏱️ 20-20-20: every 20 minutes, look at something about 6 metres (20 feet) away for 20 seconds
💡 Light the room, not just the screen
👁️ Blink fully — screen time quietly cuts your blink rate
📏 Keep screens about an arm's length away (closer than the folks in this photo)

Still dragging by dinnertime? Book an eye exam. We can help sort out whether something more, like an outdated prescription, is part of the story.

Screens are part of life. Sore eyes don't have to be.

CHILDREN'S EYE EXAMS 👧📖

Did you know Alberta Health currently covers an annual eye exam for kids under 19? That makes keeping up with your child's vision one of the easiest items on the family checklist.

A children's eye exam looks at much more than reading letters on a chart. It checks how the eyes focus, team up, and track across a page, the exact skills your little learner uses in the classroom every single day. It also gives your optometrist a chance to keep watch on overall eye health as your child grows and changes.

Here is the simple math: 👇
📅 One appointment a year
✅ Currently covered by Alberta Health for kids under 19
👀 Peace of mind heading into the school year

Questions about coverage? Our team is happy to confirm the details when you book.

Help keep growing eyes on track this year.

SUNSHINE, SQUINTING & YOUR EYES ☀️😎

We wait all year for sunny Alberta days, but our eyes feel that brightness too. Just like your skin, your eyes benefit from UV protection, and long-term sun exposure is associated with changes like cataracts down the road.

The good news? Protecting your eyes can be as simple as it is stylish: 👇

😎 Sunglasses labelled as blocking 99–100% of UVA and UVB rays
🧢 A brimmed hat for the brightest afternoons
💦 Extra care near water, sand, and snow, where glare is strongest

And yes, UV reaches your eyes in fall and winter too, so those shades deserve year-round duty, not just a summer fling.

Soak up the season, with your shades on.

KIDS' EYE TROUBLE — SPOT THE SIGNS 👀🔍

Little ones don't always tell us when something looks blurry, often because they think everyone sees the way they do. That is why it helps to know what to watch for at home.

Keep an eye out for: 👇
👀 Squinting or tilting the head to see
📖 Sitting very close to books, tablets, or the TV
🤕 Frequent headaches or lots of eye rubbing
📚 Losing their place while reading, or avoiding reading altogether

Any of these can be a sign it is time for an eye exam, and the earlier a vision issue is spotted, the easier it usually is to manage. A quick check now can save a lot of frustration at homework time later.

When in doubt, check it out, growing eyes deserve a closer look.

Every face is different, so we take the time to get the fit right, comfy frames for small noses, durable pairs for rough-and-tumble kids, and styles to suit every personality in the family photo. Bring the whole crew and make an afternoon of it. 😄

Great vision looks good on everyone in the family.

EYE EXAMS ARE MORE THAN VISION SCREENINGS 👁️✨

Passing a school or app-based vision screening doesn't always mean all is well, screenings only check how clearly you see at a distance. A comprehensive eye exam looks at the whole picture: eye health inside and out, how the eyes focus and team together, and early signs of conditions that can develop quietly, without any symptoms.

If your family's last "eye check" was a quick screening, consider this your friendly nudge to book the real thing.
