Did you know? 👓
80% of vision problems are avoidable or even curable. This is why it is important to have regular visits with your optometrist.
Keep your eyes safe all year long!

Our eyes are exposed to the elements in the air around us. Tiny particles like dust and smoke can lodge themselves on the moist layer of tears that coat our eyes, called the tear film. When the tear film is compromised it's unable to properly lubricate our eyes, causing them to feel dry. So make sure to wear protective eyewear when out and about and make sure you drink plenty of water.

Annual eye exams help to ensure that you are seeing clearly, but also facilitate regular monitoring of your eye health. Contact us to schedule an exam!

Did you know there are more than one type of UV rays? They’re actually 3! UVA is the longest wavelength that penetrates deep into the skin. Cataracts are linked to over-exposure to these rays. UVB rays that reach the surface of the skin can cause tanning, burning, and signs of aging. The cornea absorbs most UVB rays. UVC rays are found in man-made sources like welding, torches, lasers, etc. Offer your eyes maximum protection by wearing sunglasses that have 100% UV protection.

Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Cataracts:
- Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays.
- Eat a diet rich in antioxidants.
- Avoid smoking.
- Manage health conditions like diabetes.
- Get regular eye exams.

⚫ 😎It’s critical to have the proper eyewear if you plan to look up at the sun, especially during the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.
A total solar eclipse is one of those magical moments that needs to be seen in order to be fully appreciated.
But beware: You can’t just sit back and throw your head up at the sun during a total solar eclipse. You need to have the right amount of protection for your eyes before looking directly at the sun. In fact, staring up at the sun at any time of the year can cause real, long-lasting, permanent damage to your vision, even if you’re looking at it for just a few seconds.

Happy First Day of Spring!🌷🪻🌼🌻🌺
