Eye Doctor in Squamish

Protective sports eyewear for the win! Ask our optometrist

July 30, 2024

Operating a motor vehicle after the sun goes down can be challenging for people over age 50. Aging eyes often struggle with decreased night vision. But there are easy two ways to help you see the road ahead.

At Omni Eye & Vision (Squamish), we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. Our team provides educational resources and guidance to help you understand the importance of eye health and make informed decisions about your care and eyewear.

Clean your windshield’s interior and exterior surfaces. Use a high-quality glass cleaner, a microfiber cloth or paper towels, and a bucket of warm water that has a small amount of mild dish soap. If your windshield is grimy, use water to remove loose dirt and debris. Spray the glass cleaner generously onto the windshield. Don’t use ammonia-based cleaners; they can damage the tint and plastic parts of your car. 

Wipe the windshield with microfiber cloths or paper towels. Start from the top and work your way down in a vertical or horizontal motion. Circular motions can leave streaks. Don’t overlook the windshield’s edges and corners, which often accumulate the most grime. Dry it with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Use the same method for the interior surface. 

Clean your headlights. Use warm water to extricate loose dirt and debris. Put warm water and a bit of dish soap in a bucket. Wash the headlights thoroughly. Rinse them with clean water and dry them with a microfiber cloth. If the headlights are still dingy due to oxidation, mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the headlights using a toothbrush. Scrub in circular motions. Rinse and dry the headlights. Buff them with a microfiber cloth. To ward off future oxidation, apply a UV sealant. 

Another option: Use a headlight restoration kit and follow its directions carefully. 

Omni Eye & Vision (Squamish) offers a wide range of services that meet the diverse needs of our patients. They include eye exams, contact lens fittings, vision therapy, a wide selection of eyeglass frames and treatment of eye conditions. Please call us today for an appointment.
