One of the most valuable tools we use to assess eye health is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) — a quick, painless, and highly detailed imaging test that allows us to see beneath the surface of the eye.   What Is an OCT Scan?   An OCT scan captures high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the retina, which is the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. Think of it as an “optical ultrasound” that […]

- [How Should Glasses Fit My Face?](https://mboptometry.ca/how-should-glasses-fit-my-face/): How Should Glasses Fit My Face? Finding glasses that fit your face perfectly can improve overall comfort. The right glasses can also better “frame” your face and enhance your facial features. Glasses should fit snugly but comfortably on the bridge of your nose without sliding down. The frames should align with your eyebrows to accentuate your features and sit evenly on both sides of your face. Your optometrist can suggest frame styles that suit your face shape, helping you see clearly and look fabulous. Why Proper Fit Matters While ill-fitting glasses are not necessarily dangerous, they can be frustrating. Glasses that fit well can: Improve […]
