Between wrapping presents and watching your favorite holiday movies, December is a time for family and a little extra care.
At Kosnoski Eye Care, we want to thank every patient who walked through our doors this year, from first-timers to long-timers. You’ve trusted us with your vision, and that means the world to us. We proudly serve families across Renton, Auburn, Federal Way, and the surrounding communities.
As the year winds down, now’s the perfect moment to turn family eye exams into a holiday tradition, an easy, meaningful way to set everyone up for a clear, comfortable start to the new year.
Year-End Eye Exams for the Whole Family
A comprehensive eye exam isn’t just about reading letters on a chart. It’s a complete check-in on how clearly each eye sees, how your prescription may have changed, and how your eyes are doing overall. And just like annual physicals and dental visits, it’s something every family member can benefit from, especially at the end of the year.
Whether you’re six or sixty, eye exams help catch minor issues early so your vision stays clear, comfortable, and healthy year-round. Here’s what we look for and why it matters at every age:
- Kids and teens: Eye exams help ensure they’re seeing clearly in the classroom, on screens, and at play. December is a great time to double-check their prescription before school starts again.
- Adults: Subtle vision changes can sneak up on you, especially when it comes to screen time, reading, or night driving. A quick exam helps prevent squinting, eye strain, and those pesky headaches that creep in by 3 pm.
- Older adults: Exams become even more important with age. We monitor for common age-related changes and help make everyday tasks like reading, driving, and even grocery shopping more comfortable.
An eye exam might only take about 30 minutes, but it sets everyone up for a clear, confident start to the new year.
Eyeglasses for a Washington Lifestyle
The right pair of glasses can make all the difference, whether you’re reading recipes, scrolling through wish lists, or squinting at headlights on an icy drive home. At Kosnoski Eye Care, we carry designer frames for every face, lifestyle, and personality. Our optical team is here to help you (and your kids) find frames that look great and work for how you live day to day. Think:
- Frames that are durable enough for the playground and stylish enough for picture day.
- Glasses that feel lightweight, even with a stronger prescription.
- Lenses that ease eye strain from hours of screen time or make night driving more comfortable.
Not sure what you need? We’ll walk you through options like:
- Anti-glare coatings for fewer halos around headlights
- Blue light filters for long workdays or online learning
- Thinner, lighter lenses for stronger prescriptions that don’t weigh you down
And because it’s December, we know the stakes are high; those family photos aren’t going to take themselves. So, whether you’re updating well-worn frames, finally replacing scratched lenses, or helping your child pick out glasses they actually want to wear, we’re here to make it easy.
Contact Lenses for Every Occasion
For those who prefer contact lenses or want to try them for the first time, December can be a great time to check in on your fit and prescription. Whether you’re prepping for travel, tackling winter sports, or just want a glasses-free look for holiday parties, contacts offer flexibility for busy days and special events.
We offer various contact types, from daily disposables to reusable lenses, and options for everyday vision needs, such as astigmatism. A contact lens exam ensures your lenses fit comfortably, your prescription is accurate, and you have the proper routine to keep your eyes healthy.
Thinking about giving contacts a try? The holidays are a great time to start.
The Ideal Time to Use Your Vision Insurance
If you use vision or medical insurance, this is a good time to check what you still have available for the year. Many plans include a covered eye exam and may help with the cost of new glasses or contact lenses. Bring your insurance details with you, or give us a call if you’re not sure how your plan works. Our team can help you understand your options.
