Our vision is crucial for the movements we make, tasks we accomplish, and interactions we have. It even impacts our sleep patterns based on the light we are exposed to during the day. Despite the importance of sight, it is often taken for granted until our vision begins to blur, prompting us to schedule an appointment with our optometrist.
Dr. Morgan Welburn, Optometrist and Partner at the Renfrew Eye Clinic, along with her business partner, are strong advocates for eye health. They urge individuals to undergo regular eye examinations and are incorporating advanced tools and technology to enhance vision care for their patients.
