Eyewear can restrict us from active lifestyles, a common frustration among our patients. This doesn’t have to be the case, however, as the modern contact lenses of today allow for a comfortable fit no matter what your lifestyle may be. Whether you love filling your day up with plans or have an unpredictable schedule, choosing the right contact lenses means maintaining clear and comfortable vision.

Spring is here, which means warm weather on its way! As you and your family prepare to spend more time outside, it's important to remember to use eyewear with UV protection. With the right protection, it's possible to block 99 to 100 percent of ultraviolet rays from reaching your delicate eyes and causing damage.

As Ontario has deemed optometry an essential service, our practice remains open for appointments only. While we are following strict protocols with your safety in mind, we are still the same practice that we have been for 22 years. We ask that our patients show up in a mask, sanitize their hands, and make appointments ahead of time to allow us to continue to serve the St. Catharines area.

A tonometer conducts eye pressure tests, but to the average person, this machine is known as the one that blows air into our eyes. Optometrists know how crucial this piece of equipment is. The results can help your doctor see if you’re at risk for glaucoma, one of Canada's leading causes of blindness.

While your eyeglasses are a medical tool, this doesn't mean you can't look great wearing them. Our optometric assistants have experience in helping patients pick out the best frames, and their biggest piece of advice is to know your face shape. For more angular faces, like squares and diamonds, we recommend trying out a few pairs with softer edges. On the other hand, we recommend softer, open faces like ovals and hearts try on frames with sharp edges. To browse our list of brands or to make an appointment, visit our website. eyecareniagara.ca
