SUMMER READING STARTS WITH CLEAR EYES 📖👀

Library hauls, the next chapter under a blanket fort, comic books on a rainy afternoon. Summer is full of reading, even when school's out. So much of it happens through your child's eyes, and when vision is off, it can show up as headaches, fatigue, or losing their place on the page.

A children's eye exam checks more than letters on a chart. We look at focus, tracking, teaming, and overall eye health, so the little readers in your life can settle into a good story all summer long.

Book your child's eye exam with us. We love helping families look after their kids' eyes.

3 TIPS FOR MANAGING DRY EYES 💧👁️

Dry, gritty, or tired eyes can sneak up on you — especially after long days at the screen or in our dry Calgary air. A few small habits can help:

✅ Take screen breaks — try the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
✅ Stay hydrated and use a humidifier indoors when the air feels dry.
✅ Talk to your optometrist about lubricating drops and a tailored management plan.

If symptoms keep coming back, book an exam so we can look at what is going on and recommend the right next steps.

SIMPLE HABITS TO REDUCE DIGITAL EYE STRAIN 📱👁️

Long stretches on screens can leave your eyes tired, dry, and a little out of focus by the end of the day. A few small changes go a long way:

✅ Try the 20-20-20 rule — every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
✅ Blink often. We blink less when staring at screens, which can lead to dryness.
✅ Set your screen about an arm's length away and slightly below eye level.
✅ Take real breaks — step outside, look at the horizon, stretch.

If screen time is wearing on your eyes, an eye exam can help us see what is going on and talk about lens options that may help.
