When your eyes are irritated, rubbing them can be almost a reflex. It may seem harmless, but this irritating habit can be quite damaging to your eye health.

Eye rubbing can introduce bacteria or irritants through your hands or cause premature aging. Instead of rubbing, try gentle techniques like blinking or eye drops to soothe discomfort, and visit your optometrist for long-term solutions.

Kids are just as susceptible to digital eye strain as adults, and in some cases, using screens for long periods of time may also increase kids' risk of developing other eye conditions, like myopia and dry eye disease.

Kids can benefit from a little extra help and guidance while using screens. Encourage your child to take short vision breaks every 20 minutes, and help them adjust their screen settings and position for their needs.

Don't forget to schedule regular eye exams as well. Annual eye exams are crucial for monitoring kids' vision and eye health as they grow.

Your makeup habits could be making your dry eyes worse.

Products that come in close contact with your eyes, such as mascara, eyeliner, and makeup remover, may contaminate and thin out your tear film or clog the tear glands in your eyelids, leading to feelings of dryness.

When you visit us for a dry eye exam, we can provide recommendations for eye-safe makeup products and help you explore options for dry eye management, such as Tear Care.

Pink eye (viral and bacterial conjunctivitis) is highly contagious, and it can be transmitted through close contact. While sharing is a nice thing to do, it's best to avoid sharing cosmetics, personal items, bed linen, and towels. Protective eyewear can help prevent germs from entering your eye and causing discomfort. Consult your optometrist if you have persistent pink eye or other eye concerns.

Fresh from your IPL treatment, your skin needs a little extra TLC. Remember to shield your face with broad-spectrum sunscreen and top on UV-protective sunglasses to limit sensitivity. 🕶️

It also helps to avoid direct sun for those first 48 hours, treat your skin gently with mild cleansers, and keep hydrated inside and out for smooth healing. 💧
