My Eye Muscles Hurt!

How does light effect you? You may squint in the sun, but do you ever squint in front of your computer screen? By the end of the day, many of us feel as though our eye muscles have spent a full day at the gym...exhausted, sore, and achy.

Seeing our South Delta eye doctors for regular eye checkups is the best way to make sure your eyes are receiving the care they need. It is also an opportunity for education and a time to talk to our optometrists at Tsawwassen Optometry Clinic about your tired eyes.

Aside from prescribing glasses, Dr. Kirby, Dr. Hansen & Dr. DeVuono can help you in many other ways to combat eye strain. They have educated themselves and their staff to provide you with the best in health care.
