With the advent of smartphones, people are becoming victims of poor vision, no matter their age. Moreover, the stress on the eyes and nerves has made it difficult to keep perfect eyesight. Therefore, it is important not to ignore any eye problems and visit an optometrist.

Of our five basic senses, our sight is probably the most indispensable. While most of us are born with good eyesight, unfortunately, due to illness or genetic disposition, some of us may require eye care from a specialist to improve or even save our vision. In these cases, the prompt services of an optometrist are essential and should not be overlooked.

As we age, so do our eyes. Aging eyes can mean decreased sharpness in our vision, an inability to distinguish between shades, problems with glare, slower adaptation to darkness and reductions in how much of our surroundings can be seen at one time. Any one of these changes increases the risk of a fall and it’s the first consideration in falls prevention.

The Opsis Eye Care team wishes you the happiest of holidays this season. May the New Year be filled with joy, health, and prosperity!

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) occurs when blood vessels in the retina are damaged.

Who is at risk? According to Diabetes Canada, DR affects 23% of people with type 1 diabetes and 14% of people with type 2 diabetes.

Myopia, or near-sightedness, is a vision condition in which, without a vision correction, near objects are seen clearly, but distant objects are out of focus.

Every industry has its own language and terms. These words and phrases can be confusing to anyone who is not part of the daily operations of a specific sector, and the eyecare business is no exception.

Ortho-k, also known as orthokeratology, is a process involving gas permeable hard lenses that correct your vision while you sleep so you can enjoy clear vision during the day. These customized lenses reshape the surface of the eye so that light focuses appropriately on the retina. In the morning, you can remove the lenses and will be able to see clearly all day long. Ortho-k is a surgery-free way for some people to leave their glasses behind and not have to wear contact lenses all the time.
