How much do you really know about vision care? We all know vision care is important, clearly (excuse the pun), but it’s definitely an area that I as a parent don’t know much about. Because of this, I trust my family’s vision care 100% to a Licensed Optician. They are the experts in their field and our Optician is a great source of information and feedback when it comes to discussing my kid’s vision.
I recently had an eye-exam and finally gave in and got a prescription for glasses because of a slight astigmatism I’ve had for years. I picked out my lenses and purchased my glasses that same day (Coach, because I’m a diva when I want to be).
Someone asked me online whether I was going to get glasses or contacts from one of the online sites frequently shared on Facebook. Free glasses! Free contacts! What could possibly be wrong with that? While I often praise the advantages of online shopping for most everything, prescription eyewear is something I will trust to my health professional. The Opticians Council of Canada has some great information on the risks of purchasing eyewear on the internet and while many of my friends have done so, it’s not something I’m comfortable with myself, especially after reading this information.

I need glasses – this would be a great prize to win!
Any of those prizes would be wonderful! Glasses can be so expensive, this would def help out!
Thank you for posting. Great promotion. I know how important it is to have your eyes checked regularly. Glasses are really expensive.
