Why Eyes in the Village is the Optometrist for You

Have you been around Osborne Village here in Winnipeg? On any given day, it’s a sight to behold; the shops, the people, the view of the Legislative Building and the Assiniboine River. We think the sights around here are so breathtaking, we established our optometry practice right here in the Village, so that when you walk out with a fresh pair of eyeglasses, you’ll be blown away by the beauty. We’re Eyes in the Village!

Progressive Lenses

Well, you might already know you need corrective lenses to improve your vision; if so, when’s the last time you had an eye check up? A lot of folks get their prescription for eye glasses and decide they’re done, simply purchasing glasses from the nearest LensCrafters from there on out. Your vision is worth so much more than a new pair of glasses every year, though; you want personalized care from optometrists who have a vested interest in you and your community. You should be getting an eye exam done at least every two years, so adjustments can be made for your prescription; this is especially true if you wear contact lenses, as the shape of your eye can change over time. That means the lens needs to be adjusted in order to maintain comfort. Contact lens prescriptions and eyeglass prescriptions also differ, so schedule an appointment and we’ll get you the right prescription for your needs.

Specialized Eye Doctors

There are some who have never even seen an eye doctor; you might be one of them! You go online, take a vision test, it tells you your vision is 20/20, and you say “Good enough!” and continue on your merry way. The problem with this philosophy is it only addresses how clear your vision is; it doesn’t address underlying problems that might be developing. Glaucoma has almost no signs notable by the layman, but the best eye doctor can spot it from a mile away (assuming they have their glasses on). Glaucoma causes permanent blindness, so you’re better off getting an eye test done on the regular! Other early warning signs of disease can be spotted by your vision care team; diabetes and some forms of cancer give early warning signs that can be noticed in a walk-in eye exam. That means there’s no reason to hesitate; if you haven’t ever seen an optometrist, walk-in today!

Emergency Eye Care

There are occasions where you might have an eye care emergency; maybe you have an accident, or experience temporary blindness, or a cascade of floaters. You want the best optometrist to see you right away when any of these things happen; your vision is one of the most valuable things that you have, and it needs to be taken care of. Our eye specialists will take you in right away in case of emergency, so don’t hesitate to drop in or call when something happens so we can take care of you. These emergencies can be quite scary, so we always advise you to take proper precautions when playing sports or working with bright lights or equipment.

Vision Care

The last group of people we want to talk to is those who haven’t been getting vision care done because they’re worried about visiting a medical professional. We have good news for you, though it might be surprising; a great eye specialist will make your appointment fun. You’ll get to see things you’ve never seen before, experience whole new worlds of vision, and maybe even get clarity you never thought possible. While other medical exams often come with some degree of discomfort (though you should still get regular physicals and teeth-cleanings), eye exams are painless, and usually leave you with a sense of wonder and awe. Also, not to brag too much, but we’re pretty easy going, fun loving folks, so you’ll have a good time!
