The optometrists at Saugeen Shores Family Eye Care believe in looking at the big picture when it comes to your eye health. We take the time to get to know you, your eye care history and your vision needs.

Our doctors know that getting the right prescription involves balancing several factors, including clear eyesight, visual efficiency and your ability to process visual information seamlessly.

Our Patients Say It Best…

After having a not so great experience with another business, I was very pleased to have gone to Saugeen Family Eye Care. Dr. Larry Carr was very knowledgeable, and thorough with his eye exam. The staff was wonderful, helpful and not pushy. My experience at another place was not great as the staff were pushy and rude, going here restored my faith that there are great local places that want to help you. I will definitely be making this my new place for eye care and will be bringing my family. Highly recommended!!!! Great selection of eye wear as well!

Q&A with Dr. Kristen Robinson

Dr. Robinson Answers Your Eyecare Questions

Q: Should I wear sunglasses during the winter?

Yes! Ultraviolet (UV) rays can be just as damaging to your eyes during the winter as they are during the summer. UV rays are still strong during the winter because the sun sits lower in the sky, and at a different angle. Your eyes can be susceptible to UV exposure when sunlight bounces off of snow and reflects UV rays back up (sometimes up to 80 percent of them). Additionally, when sunlight reflects off of snow, it makes it very bright outside and can create an intense glare that makes it difficult to see. . In the long-term, overexposure to UV rays can lead to eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration.
