Did you know that alcohol relaxes the eye muscles?

This results in confusing messages from our eyes about how far away things are or even where the horizon is. This is why people who’ve been drinking can have a hard time reaching for things and often end up spilling and stumbling.

Now imagine taking contact lenses out in that condition. That’s assuming you even remember to take them out. Cleaning them and putting them away hygienically can be next to impossible when your brain and eyes are not communicating properly.

Just in case, make sure your contact lens routine is ready to go and you don’t have to spend time looking around. Better yet, consider getting disposable lenses on nights that you might be at a party.

Just in case you decide that you want to get
rid of those lenses at some point in the night, make sure you have your glasses. The last thing you want to do is further impair your vision.

While celebrating, use caution when opening Champagne bottles. Turn your face away from the Champaign bottle and don’t point it at anyone else either. Ever notice that the cork is just the right size to fit in your eye socket?

Our office recently spent a rewarding day giving back to our community. Half of our staff volunteered at Lion’s Prairie Manor and Douglas Campbell Lodge, where they repaired, cleaned, and adjusted eyeglasses to help residents see more clearly and comfortably.

Meanwhile, the rest of our team partnered with the Salvation Army, helping prepare Christmas hampers for local families in need during the holiday season.

We’re proud to support our community in meaningful ways and grateful for the opportunity to lend our time and skills to organizations that make such a positive impact.
