See Coat Blue

 See Coat Blue by Nikon is a revolutionary new anti-reflective lens application designed to reduce the distracting glare caused by high intensity blue light. See Coat Blue lenses by Nikon help to improve contrast and reduce eye strain by partially filtering out blue light rays, thus reducing distracting light scatter within the eye. These lenses may help to reduce visual fatigue when working on computer screens, smart phones, tablets and LED TV screens. As such, eye-bar recommends using Sea Coat Blue anti-reflective lenses on all reading glasses and all computer or office specific eyewear.

This new lens application still contains all the same properties as regular See Coat lenses by Nikon, including: 2 times more scratch resistance, anti-static dust-repellent properties, optimized light transparency, and easy to clean smudge resistance.

Back to School: When was the last time your child had an eye exam?

At eye-bar, back-to-school means time for an eye exam! Vision is incredibly important to learning. Frequently, children with undetected vision problem can be labeled as having behavioral or learning disabilities simply because they are unable to see or focus on their work. The fix? A pair of eyeglasses.

And, yet many times children do not receive an annual eye exam. Consider these statistics from the Ontario Association of Optometrists:

Annual statistics have shown that 75 per cent of children between the ages of five and nine have not had their eyes examined by a Doctor of Optometry and a staggering 93 per cent of all children under the age of five have never had their eyes tested; despite the fact that annual eye examinations are covered by Alberta Healthcare for children 18 years of age and under. It is estimated that nearly half of all high school students will also leave high school without ever having had an eye exam.

Many parents are shocked to discover their child has a vision problem. Unfortunately, problems are not always obvious to a parent or child. Children have no form of comparison and assume others see the world as they do.

An annual eye exam provides a tremendous amount of ‘peace of mind’ to parents and ensures the child has the vision to succeed at school.

Book your child’s eye exam.
