Dr. Jessica had the pleasure of attending the annual Alberta Association of Optometrists (AAO) Meeting in Edmonton a couple weeks ago. It was a great opportunity to catch up with classmates and colleagues while learning about all the exciting new developments in eye care. This year was especially meaningful because we were finally able to celebrate in person with our colleagues 101 years of the AAO. It's so exciting to see our profession grow and to be a part of such a dynamic and forward-thinking group of optometrists. I think Alberta optometrists are leading way in Canada in terms of expanding our scope of practice and helping to educate our patients and the general public on the importance of eye care and eye health. I'm so proud to be an Optometrist! #aao #yycoptometrist ...

If you've ever wondered about the environmental impact of your contact lenses you are not alone. Every year over 290 million contact lenses end up in Canadian landfills or waterways. This is a staggering amount of plastic waste, which is why at Eyedeology we are always looking for ways to become more sustainable. One of the ways we are doing this is by partnering with @coopervision to bring to our patients net plastic neutral contact lenses. The MyDay® lenses are the daily disposable contact lenses that help you do better for your vision and the planet. Choosing them is an easy way to have a positive impact on the environment as they are both sustainably manufactured and the first net plastic neutral contact lens through Plastic Bank. This means that for every box of MyDay® contact lenses distributed in Canada, @coopervision will fund the collection, processing, and reuse of general plastic waste that is equal to the weight of the plastic contained in the lenses and packaging.

In general, daily lenses are a healthier option for the eyes because there is a fresh new contact lens on the eye every day meaning less build-up of deposits and bacteria that can increase risk for discomfort or eye infections. By choosing MyDay®, you’re supporting a brighter future of the planet and a healthy lens wearing experience. We are proud to support this wonderful initiative and so far our Eyedeology community of patients have helped to save 405 plastic bottles from the ocean in 2022! Please make an appointment with one of our optometrists if you would like to learn more about how the MyDay® lenses can provide you with a healthier and more sustainable contact lens experience! #plasticneutral ...

Did you know we recycle contact lenses? Do ever think about what happens to your used contact lenses and packaging? Every year over 290 million contacts end up in Canadian landfills and waterways. That's a lot of waste and plastic that ends up in our environment! So what can we do to keep our planet green while still maintaining good vision with contacts? Did you know that you can now recycle your used contact lenses? We at @eyedeology are participating in contact lens recycling collection center as part of the @everycontactcounts program launched by @bauschlombca and @terracycleca.

It's very simple, here's how you can join the movement and participate in the first contact lens recycling program in Canada:

Step 1: Collect your old contact lenses and blister pack with foil in a small plastic bag or drop by our office and we can provide one for you. Don't include any solution or cardboard packaging (the latter can be included in your regular home recycling).

Step 2: When the bag gets full, drop it off at @eyedeology in the designated bin at the front of our clinic.

Step 3: Repeat! And feel good about doing your part to help preserve and take care of our environment. In addition to contacts, we are collecting old glasses in office for the @lionsclubs #everycontactcounts #recycle ...

Are you surprised to see children wearing glasses at a young age? Parents often feel since they see well so do their children. In fact, some children do not show any signs that they are not even seeing well. This news often comes as a surprise to many parents.

As Optometrists, we recommend bringing in your children starting at 6 months of age so we are able to determine if they are seeing well, their eyes are coordinated, tracking and focusing well, and their eyes are healthy. Alberta Health covers eye exams for children between the ages of 0 to 18 years when they see their Optometrist.

Meet Edon who came in for her first eye exam a year ago. We determined she had a higher prescription and needed glasses. Today she is happily wearing them and even notices she sees better with them.

Its important to remember 80% of learning is visual so if your child is struggling to see clearly it will affect how well they perform in school. Glasses for children have come a long way and definitely are more fashionable as you can see in this picture @nano.vista.

Book your child in for their eye exam today. Our pediatric Optometrists would love to make a difference in your child's life. #childrensvisionyyc ...
