Fun Fact: Each individual human eye contains 107 million cells and all are light sensitive.

Is eye colour based on genetics? Brown eyes are dominant while blue eyes are recessive. Although, if both parents have blue eyes, the children will have blue eyes as well. Only about 10% of people globally have blue eyes.

Too much screen time is a daily occurrence in this digital age, and it can cause eyestrain in some people. But the chances of permanent vision damage are low. About 80% of adults say they use digital devices for more than two hours per day, and nearly 67% use two or more devices at the same time.

We hope everyone has a great weekend.

Did you know we have Optikam in store to help you find the perfect frame! What is Optikam? It's a measurement device that obtains eyewear measurements that take into account how the frame will be worn by you once dispensed. These personalized as-worn measurements allow lens designs to be customized to take into account Vertex Distance, Pantoscopic Tilt and Frame Wrap.

Did you know that eyeglasses (lens and frames) come in varied materials? Most lenses are either glass or plastic and most frames are plastic or metal. Depending on your lifestyle you may be more inclined to purchase one material over the other. Price can also be a deciding factor when it comes to the final purchase. Come see us at Esquimalt Optical to discuss your vision needs.

Lest we forget.

Did you know? Around the world, about 39 million people are blind and roughly 6 times that many have vision impairment.
