Q: Is it really possible to detect a brain tumour during an eye exam?
A: Yes, but only indirectly. For example, some types of brain tumours can cause changes to the optic nerve and can affect vision a certain way, and these things can be picked up during a routine eye exam. Further testing and imaging would be necessary to make a proper diagnosis in such a case, and it should be stated that many types of brain tumours do not affect the eyes at all.

Engage your child in a fun home dental activity to promote oral health awareness and establish family routines. Craft “plaque” slime to demonstrate how it adheres to egg carton “teeth”, simulating the buildup of real plaque. Emphasize the importance of brushing and flossing twice daily to prevent plaque accumulation, which hardens into tartar if not removed. Explain that only a dentist can remove tartar, underscoring the significance of regular oral hygiene. Create the slime by mixing white glue and cornstarch, then apply it to the egg carton “teeth”. Encourage your child to remove the simulated plaque, fostering hands-on learning about dental care.

Q: How can I make my vision better for driving at night?
A: Keep your windshield, mirrors and headlights clean and maintained. Reduce sources of light from within your vehicle. Don’t stare at oncoming headlights. And get your vision in focus with non-glare prescription lenses if you need them! Consider driving less at night if you know you’re having difficulty. Night driving is a common concern amongst the general population but still a valid reason to get your eyes checked! Come see us for your next eye appointment!
