Summer is here, and it’s time to make sure your eyes are protected while you enjoy the sunshine! Follow these essential tips to keep your vision sharp and your eyes healthy all season long:

😎 Not all sunglasses are created equal! Make sure yours have UV lens category 3 or higher to protect your eyes from harmful sun exposure.

☀️ Be mindful that dry eyes are more common in summer due to heat and air conditioning.

💦 Drink plenty of water to keep your eyes and body hydrated.

😎 Try polarised sunglasses which reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water and sand, helping you see more clearly and comfortably during outdoor activities.

☀️ Clean eyewear regularly to keep your vision sharp and clear.

🌞 Summer activities can lead to sweat and sand getting on your lenses, so always pack a lens cloth and our refillable lens cleaning spray!

Your diet plays an important role in your overall wellbeing, including your eyes.

Here are 6 essential nutrients for healthy eyes — and the foods that contain them:

🥬 Lutein & Zeaxanthin – Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, broccoli and corn
🥕 Vitamin A – Carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin and mango
🍊 Vitamin C – Citrus fruits, berries, bell peppers and kiwi
🥑 Vitamin E – Nuts, seeds, avocados and healthy oils
🦪 Zinc – Shellfish, legumes, eggs and seeds
🐟 Omega-3s (EPA & DHA) – Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines

Including these foods as part of a healthy diet can support your body’s nutritional needs, including those related to eye function.
