Children’s Vision and Learning
Vision and learning go hand in hand. Experts estimate that about 80% of the learning a child does is taken in visually. Adequate vision is critical for students to reach their full academic potential. Parents and teachers might not realize that when children are having difficulty in school – from understanding fractions to learning to read – it might be a sensory problem, and not a cognitive one. Any vision problem that affects the way

What Every Student Should Do
Back to school is just around the corner, and you want your child to have the best possible start to the school year.

UV Protection
The Need for Sun Protection
Unfortunately, many Canadians remain unaware of the danger that ultraviolet (UV) radiation poses to their eyes. As a result, people often don’t take the necessary steps with respect to eye care and protection to ensure that their eyes are safe from the dangers of UV.

Healthy eyes can be supported by a

Corrective Lenses Have Come So Far
The evolution of corrective lenses has come a long way since they were first invented many years ago! Not only has the technology changed to help with different vision problems, the way the lenses are made has also changed. Let’s quickly go over the history of corrective lenses and how they were made. In 60 A.D., the Roman Emperor Nero used an emerald to get a better look at the gladiators fighting. It’s also believed he used this
Computer Vision Syndrome
What is Computer Vision Syndrome?
Are your eyes tired? If you are someone who spends more than a few hours each day in front of a computer screen, it is highly probable that you suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome. Computer Vision Syndrome (which can also be known as Digital Eye Strain) are eye and vision-related symptoms that are caused by prolonged use of computers (this includes cell phone screens and tablets).

Contact Lenses
What Happens if you Sleep in your Contact Lenses?
If you’ve been sleeping while wearing your contact lenses, you may want to think about changing your bedtime routine. Here are some of the reasons why leaving your contact lenses in while you sleep is a bad idea: Like any other part of your body, your cornea needs oxygen. So how does that happen during the day while you’re wearing contacts? It’s all due to blinking when considering hard or rigid lenses. Every time you
