A holiday reminder to all our patients and patrons regarding our office hours. We wish you the best this holiday season and will see you in the new year.

Looks like Santa got contact lenses too!

Covid-19 Update.

Everyone, say hi to our Optometry practicum student Bailey! We are lucky to have her until the end of January. She is in the second of 3 practicums and will be graduating in 2021. As you can tell from the photos she is loving the Shuswap! Bailey has wanted to be an Optometrist since she was 7 years old! Wow!

We live in a world flooded with digital devices. As a result, you may be starting to experience digital eye strain, which makes your eyes feel sore, tired, watery, and/or dry. To prevent this from occurring, follow the 20-20-20 rule!

Sleeping in contact lenses increases your risk for eye infections by six to eightfold as it prevents the eyes from getting the proper oxygen and hydration it needs to fight bacteria.

Come by to SEE us and we’ll make sure you’ll see your beary best this holiday season!

This year’s theme for World Diabetes Day is, The Nurse and Diabetes. Nurses help support people living with all types of health concerns especially those that have diabetes.
