JULY IS DRY EYE AWARENESS MONTH
For Dry Eye Relief, dry eye drops are one of the main treatments for dry eye. Also called artificial tears, these drops help to lubricate the eyes. However, not all dry eye drops are the same.
If you experience dry eyes, see your Optometrist.

WHAT CAUSES DRY EYES?
Many factors can contribute to dry eye, including aging, hormonal changes, UV exposure, environmental conditions, or problems with normal blinking. Dry eye can also be symptomatic of problems with general health such as rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, and Parkinson’s disease. Medications, genetics and family history may also play a role in dry eyes.
If you think you may have dry eye, visit an eye care professional for a full eye examination.
Book your Eye Exam with our qualified Optometrist who use state of the art technology to measure your prescription and exam the overall health of your eyes.

JULY IS UV SAFETY AWARENESS MONTH!
Sun exposure may set children up for possible vision problems later in life. The sun can cause sunburned corneas, cancer of the eyelid, cataracts & macular degeneration, among other problems. In addition, children are more susceptible because their lenses don't block as much UV as adult lenses.
Protect your child's eyes from UV Rays. Come in and check out our selection of children's polarized sunglasses. We are located at Unit 3 22337 Dewdney Trunk Rd. in Maple Ridge

This July is an important time for the optometry field to raise public awareness about the cumulative and damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the eyes.
Optometrists and eyecare professionals use this time to educate patients, promote preventative measures, and encourage routine comprehensive eye exams.

DRY EYE RELIEF
Our Dr. recommends I-DROP Pure Gel, a preservative-free, artificial tears premium eye drops as well as I-Lid 'N Lash' wipes, a water-based, gel-soaked wipes for cleansing and hydrating.
Adding a daily hygiene regimen to an existing management plan using lubricating eye drops helps break the dry eye cycle, while enhancing the effectiveness of artificial tears and aids in the restoration of corneal health.

Don't Overlook the Signs
It might be more than just irritation — it could be dry eye disease.
Dry Eye Awareness Month is a timely reminder of the importance of eye health — especially as dry eye disease (also known as Ocular Surface Disease) affects millions of Canadians and is often underdiagnosed and undertreated.
