Most people associate the month of February with Valentine’s Day, love, romance, roses and chocolate. But did you know that February is also International Boost Self-Esteem Month? This is a great time to take a moment to think about how you feel about yourself. If you feel negative thoughts creeping in, stop those toxic thoughts and focus on something that is positive in your life. Or you can also take action to improve your current situation.

Sometimes a negative self-image can stem from a physical trait that causes you either physical or mental discomfort. Take, for example, bad vision. Some of the Toronto eye care patients we see at View Eye Care are simply fed up with not being able to see clearly when they wake up in the morning. Others become frustrated because they can’t excel in sports (like water or snow skiing, basketball or football) because their glasses make it too difficult.

If your poor vision is lowering your self-esteem, it might be time to schedule a laser eye surgery consultation in Toronto.  Ontario optometrist Dr. Shirley Blanc can analyze your vision to determine if LASIK might be the boost you need to reduce your symptoms of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

Don’t let poor vision bring down your self-image. Find out what eye care technologies in Toronto exist to improve your vision. Contact eye doctor Dr. Shirley Blanc at View Eye Care in Downtown Toronto to schedule an appointment. Call (416) 923-8439 or visit drshirleyblanc.com.
