A group of Victoria optometrists is offering a chance to see Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour as a way to help prevent myopia.
Three local optometry offices B次元官网网址 Lifetime Eyecare, Ray Dahl and Cadboro Bay Optometry B次元官网网址 have joined forces to give away two Eras Tour tickets along with hotel stay to one lucky child who attends their annual eye exam.
B次元官网网址淲e were inspired to do the contest by the huge public interest in getting to see Taylor Swift perform in Vancouver, and understanding how hard it is to get tickets to see her shows,B次元官网网址 said Aisha Cheng, an optometrist and partner at the Peninsula Lifetime Eyecare Centre. B次元官网网址淲e wanted to be able to give two tickets to a family so they could go see her last show of The Eras Tour Dec. 8 in Vancouver and in doing so, also promote the importance of routine eye exams for children.B次元官网网址
Children coming in for an exam will be entered for a chance to win a pair of tickets, with extra contest entries given to those who purchase myopia-control lenses.
While the contest is only for children, it's a good reminder for parents to get their children's eyes checked. Myopia, more commonly called nearsightedness, is a common eye condition that makes faraway objects appear blurry and out of focus.
The group of optometrists is using Swift's massive tour as an opportunity to highlight the importance of eye care early on in life, highlighting that it can be slowed using specially designed glasses or contact lenses. So far their plan seems to be working.
B次元官网网址淲e have seen an influx in children's exam bookings this month and are excited to announce the winner of the contest on Dec. 4.B次元官网网址
