Put your shades on: it's the coolest time of year!

On the computer a lot? Here's a tip to protect your eyes.

When you go for a swim, the cool water may feel great, but the chlorine can irritate and dry your eyes.

Also, if you're going for a dip in natural bodies of water (like a river or lake) the contaminants can damage your eyes. Wearing swim goggles can cut down on irritation.

Dry eyes may increase in the summer. The higher temps outside along with fans and air conditioning inside can contribute to dry eye symptoms. Lubricating eye drops may help. Consider using the type without preservatives, which can be used more frequently.
