Spadina Optometry

If your eyes have been burning all week, it's not just you. The smoke from the fires up north is sitting over the city, and half the people walking into the clinic this week have the same red, gritty, itchy eyes.

Try not to rub them. We know. But smoke is basically tiny particles floating around, and rubbing just grinds them in.
What actually helps is a good preservative-free drop. Our pick for smoke season is HYLO DUAL — it lubricates like a regular artificial tear, plus it has an ingredient called ectoine that forms a little protective barrier against irritants. Use it as often as you want, contacts in or out. We have it at the clinic, and most drugstores carry it too.

The smoke should clear by the weekend. If your eyes are still bothering you after that, come see us — we're at Richmond and Spadina, or book online https://spadinaoptometry.ca/book/ .

♻️ Don’t flush your contact lenses — recycle them! ♻️

Did you know that flushing contact lenses down the sink or toilet can create harmful microplastics that pollute our rivers, lakes, and oceans? 🌎 Over 44,000 kg of contact lenses end up in water systems every year — that’s the weight of 98 polar bears! 🐻‍❄️

At Spadina Optometry, we’re proud to be a drop-off location for contact lens recycling. Bring your used lenses, blister packs, and foil tops — we’ll make sure they’re properly recycled through specialized programs that keep plastics out of our water systems. 🙌

💧 Protect our planet.
♻️ Recycle your lenses responsibly.
📍 Drop off anytime during office hours at 477 Richmond St. West, Suite 809

Together, we can help keep microplastics out of our oceans and our future. 💙

🌼 Allergy season is here — and your eyes can feel it.

If you’ve been rubbing your eyes more, dealing with redness, dryness, or that gritty “I can’t keep looking at this screen” feeling… it might be time for some spring eye relief.

At Spadina Optometry, we treat more than vision — we help patients manage seasonal eye allergies and screen fatigue with practical, personalized care.

Let us help you feel better this spring 👁️🌿
