UV rays are not exclusive to summer. Don't forget to protect your eyes. @zeissvisioncare_canada Why winter is rough on the eyes:... UV rays can come from both above and below in wintery conditions. Snow reflects nearly 80 percent of the sun’s rays while beach sand reflects only 15%. So when skiing or snowboarding, your UV exposure is nearly doubled. Overcast weather common in winter can be deceptive since visible light is reduced while UV light still gets through. This causes many to put away their sunglasses leaving their eyes unprotected. How to protect your eyes: We recommend polarized or mirror coatings with amber tints which enhance contrast and minimize the glare from the snow. Prolonged exposure to UV rays in winter can cause short term problems such as Photokeratities (Snow Blindness) or long term damage to your eyes such as macular degeneration or cataracts. But by using the right protective eyewear, you can keep your eyes safe throughout the season. #zeiss #seeingbeyond #uv #uvprotect #uvprotection #eyecare #eyecareprofessionals #canada #optometrist #optometry #torontoptometrist

Does your child complain of headaches after school? Avoid reading? Poor hand eye coordination in sports? This may be due to a binocular vision disorder. ... This is when the two eyes are not working together or due to an inadequate visual system. Just because your child can see clearly doesn’t mean their eyes are fine. Binocular vision disorders can cause double vision, loss of place when reading, eyestrain, blurry vision, headaches, covering or rubbing eyes. The lack of eye coordination can cause a disoriented message to the brain. This affects their learning and ability to process information. Your eye doctor can do a binocular vision assessment which can identify these issues. #doublevision #childrenseyes #binocularvisiondisorder #studying #backtoschool #eyeexams #optometry #optometrylife #childrensvision #drshalupalandassociates See more
