Are you bothered by headlights at night? There's a good reason for this. Yes, new headlights cause much more glare than previously.

BTW, yellow glasses for driving at night aren't recommended, because they cut down the amount of light getting to your eye, so it's harder overall to see.

Are you getting enough sleep? We had a patient at the clinic recently who had swelling in her retina because of lack of sleep! This macular problem is usually caused by stress, and it turns out her body was stressed out from lack of sleep. Once she focused on getting more sleep, her eye problem went away. Don't underestimate the power of sleep!
Here are 12 tips for healthy sleep:
NUMBER ONE: stick to a sleep schedule.
Exercise is great, but not too late in the day.
Avoid caffeine and ni****ne.
Avoid alcoholic drinks before bed.
Avoid large meals and beverages late at night.
If possible, avoid medicines that delay or disrupt your sleep
Don’t take naps after 3 p.m.
Relax before bed.
Take a hot bath before bed.
Have a good sleeping environment.
Have the right sunlight exposure.
Don’t lie in bed awake.
See a health professional if you continue to have trouble sleeping.

Going skiing over Christmas? Or just waiting for the rain to end? Don't forget your UV protection this winter! Despite the dropping temperature and increased cloud cover, it’s important to always protect your eyes against UVA and UVB rays. Your eyes are sensitive to these rays all year round, and we don’t often consider the reflections of the sun off the snow. Overexposure to UV rays (all year round!), has been linked to a multitude of problems, including cataracts, degeneration of the retina, and damage to the cornea. Be sure to select quality specs that have 100 per cent UVA/UVB stickers.

Do you work on a computer? Taking a 15 minute outdoor break right after intense near work makes a big difference in relaxing the visual system. Being outside delivers an eye focusing "stop" signal, and helps the eyes relax. Looking in the distance when outside causes us to look far away with our peripheral vision too, which relaxes the visual system (as opposed to just looking out the window at work). Also, being outdoors is said to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, causing our bodies to relax.

Ideally, you should take a 5 minute outdoor break every half hour, but you may not have easy access to the outdoors, and in the winter sometimes the weather's not conducive. But do your best to use your 15 minute breaks to step outside and walk around the block so your eyes, and you, feel better.

So simple and it's a great visual: half your plate veggies, with whole grain foods, and healthy proteins. This diet keeps your eyes healthy too!

November is diabetes awareness month, and uncontrolled diabetes can cause significant damage to your eyes. So avoid (or improve your diabetes) by 1- avoiding processed foods, and 2- eating lots of veggies!

"Don't take a pill, take a photon." -Dr. Samer Hattar (a chronobiologist). Love that quote. The quote is in the context of mood and mental health and sleep-wake cycle, but there are so many reasons to spend time outside! One of them is to get your vitamin D, of which we're learning more and more about the importance. There is growing evidence of a lack of vitamin D increasing the risk of dry eyes (among other other eye diseases). So step outside at lunch and get a photon!

Our previous OCT died, so we have a new OCT! The main function of an OCT is to take a light "ultrasound" image of your retinal layers. It gives us amazing information to help diagnose and treat glaucoma and macular degeneration (among other diseases). And now those images are in even higher resolution!
