Remember to schedule your annual exam With spring approaching, it is important to ensure your eyes are the healthiest possible!

Stop what you are doing! Taking a quick glance away from your computer or phone screen every 20 minutes can help prevent eye strain! This will also keep your eyes healthy and strong! Blue light lenses are also excellent at protecting your eyes from harmful rays.

One of the symptoms of dry eye is excessive watering of the affected eye. The watering is a natural reflex, caused by irritation of the surface of the eye. Be sure to mention any symptoms of dry eye to us at your next visit!

Good vision gives you more than just the ability to see, it impacts every aspect of your life!

Driving for long periods of time can lead to eye strain. Eye strain occurs when your eyes are overexerted! Blurry vision and headaches are common signs of eye strain.

Regular eye screenings with your optometrist are important to maintaining good eye health. Your doctor will check your eyesight and medical history to see if any treatments are necessary. Without an eye exam, problems can go undetected and become severe. Call us today to schedule your routine eye screening!

This is your daily reminder to wash your hands before putting in or taking out your contact lenses! Eye infections are more common than you think. Not taking the proper steps to cleaning your hands and lens case can lead to pink eye and other infections.

If you work in front of a computer all day, your eyes are being exposed to harmful blue light rays. This can lead to blurry eyesight, headaches, even back pain. Wearing prescription glasses that also protect from these harmful rays can preserve your eyesight! Call us today to learn more about the effects of blue light.

Eye exams can also find diseases, like glaucoma, that have no symptoms. It's important to spot them early on, when they're easier to treat.

Your eyes are especially vulnerable to germs and infections. Even things that just irritate your eyes can affect your vision. For those reasons, you should always wash your hands before touching your eyes or handling your contact lenses!

Fun fact for today: An iris has 256 unique characteristics! To put this in perspective, a fingerprint has only 40 unique characteristics. This is why retina scans are becoming increasingly popular for security!

If you aren't getting adequate sleep, sooner or later your eyes will likely show signs of fatigue and sleep deprivation. Aim to get to bed early enough to allow yourself to get a minimum of 7 to 9 hours of sleep!

Your eye health is very closely correlated with your overall diet! Make sure to be consuming your share of veggies and fruits today!

A comprehensive eye examination can also diagnose other symptoms and disorders. A comprehensive eye examination will also provide an accurate prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Just like the rest of our bodies, our eyes begin to weaken as we age. There are a number of common age-related eye conditions such as presbyopia, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration that can begin to affect your vision and your daily life.

Eye exams are critical because many vision threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, or diabetic retinopathy have no or minimal symptoms until the disease has progressed! Call us to schedule yours today.

Myth or Fact? Reading in poor light will hurt the eyes. Before the invention of electric light, most nighttime reading and other work was done by dim candlelight or gaslight. Reading in dim light today won't harm our eyes any more than it did our ancestors' eyes or any more than taking a photograph in dim light will damage a camera.
