Did you know that ๐—จ๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—œ๐—ง๐—œ๐—ฆ is a leading cause of preventable low vision? When internal inflammation is severe, it can lead to permanent scarring and vision loss if not managed aggressively.

This month, we are highlighting the importance of early detection and treatment compliance.

Have you noticed youโ€™re holding your phone further away lately? Or maybe youโ€™re squinting at the menu just to see the price of your favorite meal? Tired of the "Long-Arm" Dance? ๐Ÿคณ

If youโ€™re over 40, this is likely ๐™‹๐™ง๐™š๐™จ๐™—๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™– โ€” a natural part of our eyes' aging process. But before you grab a random pair of "readers" from a convenience store or mall, here is why a professional consultation and refraction matter:

Your eyes are like a fingerprint; each has its own unique "grade." A professional refraction ensures that your Bifocal Lenses are perfectly balanced. Using the wrong grade can lead to eye strain, dizziness, and those afternoon headaches.

When you come in for a refraction, we don't just check your grade. We check the health of your retina and look for early signs of cataracts or glaucoma.

We often remember to hit the gym or drink more water, but how often do we check in on our vision? Since itโ€™s a brand new year, letโ€™s commit to these 5 simple habits for better eye health!

Are you reading this on a phone or laptop? Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Your eyes will thank you for the break! ๐Ÿ’ป

With the festivities in full swing, itโ€™s easy to overlook our eye health. Here are 5 quick tips to keep your vision clear and your celebrations joyful:

Holiday treats like leche flan and hamonado are everywhere! For our diabetic patients, keeping blood sugar stable is the best gift for your retinas. Enjoy the feast, but remember, moderation is key to preventing vision-blurring sugar spikes.

Whether you're frying lumpia or popping open the bubbly, be careful! Aim champagne corks away from people and watch out for hot oil splashes. If you get chili or oil in your eye, flush with clean water immediately โ€” don't rub!

Removing your "party look" is a must. Always take off eye makeup before bed to avoid styes or infections.
Pro-tip: Never share mascara or eyeliners with friends, no matter how much you love their shade!

๐Ÿฐ. ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ & ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ
Between Simbang Gabi and late-night movie marathons, your eyes need a break. Never sleep in your contact lenses! Take them out as soon as you get home to prevent serious infections.
The 20-20-20 Rule: If youโ€™re on a long video call with family abroad, look 20 feet away every 20 minutes for 20 seconds.

Holiday parties mean a lot of "beso-beso" and handshakes. Viruses spread easily this way. Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes after handling decorations or communal party snacks.

Staring at your computer all day messes with your eyes! Give them a mini-vacation every 20 minutes:

โ€ข ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ minutes: Time to take a break!

โ€ข ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ feet: Look at something far away (like out a window).

โ€ข ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ seconds: Hold that gaze!

This simple strategy relaxes your eye muscles, kicking headaches, blurry vision, and dry eyes to the curb. Your eyes will thank you! ๐Ÿค“
