Waterdown Optometric Clinic

Pause and take a moment with us to honour the children who never came home, the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the communities whose lives continue to be shaped by this history.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is not just a date on the calendar. It's an reminder to slow down, listen with intention, and make space for stories and truths that should never be overlooked or forgotten.

If you're able, take time today to seek out Indigenous voices, read a Survivor’s story, support Indigenous-led organizations, or reflect on what reconciliation can look like in everyday actions.

🧡 Every child matters. Today and every day.

It’s not just sight. It’s an entire future. 🌟

This month we're raising funds for Optometry Giving Sight’s World Sight Day Challenge!

More than 1 billion people worldwide live with poor vision simply because they do not have access to eye exams and glasses. When you support Optometry Giving Sight, you’re helping provide access to eye care, eyeglasses, training, and long-term vision care solutions for communities around the world.

👓 Clear vision can support education, employment, independence, and opportunity.

Join us this month in helping make a difference. ♥️ Every donation helps bring someone closer to a brighter future.

The moment you realize your glasses can change with the season too...

✨ Fall is a perfect time to refresh your everyday look with new frames that feel warm, classic, bold, or like a new chapter of you!

Stop by the clinic and let us help you find your perfect pair.

Happy first day of fall! 🍂 Who else loves Autumn as much as we do?

Dry, itchy eyes? 🫣 Here’s what not to do:

Rub your eyes. It might feel like it helps in the moment, but it can actually make irritation worse and leave your eyes feeling even more uncomfortable.

As the weather starts to change and we spend more time indoors, dry eye symptoms can become more noticeable. 👉 If you’re relying on drops but still not getting lasting relief, there may be a more comfortable, longer-lasting option for you!

Dry eye treatment options, like IPL, may help target the underlying cause of your symptoms instead of only offering temporary relief.

If dry eye symptoms are affecting your day, let’s find a solution that brings you lasting relief. 💧

One hit, one fall, or one fast-moving ball can change more than the score.

Whether it’s hockey, basketball, squash, soccer, or another sport, your eyes deserve the same level of protection as the rest of your body. Proper sports eyewear is designed to:

✅ help handle impact
✅ reduce injury risk
✅ keep athletes of all ages safer while they play.

This is especially important for kids and teens, who are often right in the middle of fast-paced play and may not realize how quickly an eye injury can happen.

If an impact to the eye causes pain, blurry vision, swelling, bleeding, or anything that looks unusual, don’t wait it out. 👉 Have it checked by an eye care professional.

Play hard, but protect your vision while you do!

We hope you’re enjoying a restful long weekend with family, friends, and a little time to recharge before September routines begin! 😊

Just a friendly reminder that our clinic is closed today, but we’ll be back to our regular hours tomorrow, September 8th.

☀️ Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and we’ll see you soon!
