The end of the year is a great time to check in on your eye health.
Even if your vision feels fine, an eye exam can detect issues early — from changes in prescription to eye health conditions like glaucoma or cataracts.

Book your eye test before the year ends and start the new year with clear, healthy vision: https://eyecarecentre.co.uk/

Sunglasses aren't just for summer. 😎

In December, the sun is lower in the sky, and snow and ice reflect up to 80% of UV rays, increasing exposure and the risk of "snow blindness" (photokeratitis). 🥶

• Wear 100% UV-protective sunglasses even on cloudy days. 🕶

• Use anti-reflective coatings on your regular glasses to reduce glare, especially when driving. 🚗

• Wear goggles with UV protection if participating in winter sports like skiing or snowboarding. 🏂

If you would like more information, please get in touch.

Spending more time indoors during the Winter months often means more time on digital devices, which can cause eye strain and fatigue. Shorter days also mean relying more on artificial lighting. ❄️

• Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to rest your eyes. ⌛

• Ensure good lighting for tasks like reading or writing to prevent eye strain and headaches. Use multiple light sources instead of relying on a single, bright overhead light. 💡

• Position monitors correctly to minimize reflections and ensure the screen is about an arm's length away. 💻

• Blink regularly while using screens, as focus can decrease your blink rate, leading to dryness. 👁

Please get in touch if you would like to find out more.

❄December brings specific challenges to eye health

Both cold outdoor air and indoor central heating significantly reduce air humidity, leading to dry, itchy, and irritated eyes.

• Use a humidifier at home or place a bowl of water near a radiator to add moisture back into the air.

• Use lubricating eye drops (artificial tears) to maintain moisture, especially if you wear contact lenses. Your optometrist can recommend a suitable type.

• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Dehydration affects overall moisture levels in your body, including your eyes.

• Avoid direct heat from car heaters, open fires, or portable heaters blowing hot air at your face level.

Protecting eye health is possible with an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan, a painless technology providing a detailed 3D image of the eye's internal structures.
This allows early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration years earlier than traditional methods.

To protect your vision, book a comprehensive eye examination, including an OCT scan.
