🚨 6 sneaky ways we’re lowkey sabotaging our poor eyeballs 👁️💀

1️⃣ Reading super near with that legendary slouch while lying down 🤦🏻‍♀️
2️⃣ Letting your bangs cosplay as an eye patch 💇🏻‍♀️
3️⃣ Staring at the computer for 20 mins straight like it owes you money 💻
4️⃣ Reading in a moving vehicle = rollercoaster for your eyeballs 🎢📖
5️⃣ Forcing your eyes to decode fonts smaller than your GPA 📚
6️⃣ Reading under sunlight blasting in your face like you’re in a K-drama spotlight 🌞🎬

Protect your eyes. You only get one pair for life, no respawns here 💔👓

Have you heard of Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS)?

This is a condition that affects the brain and eyes (the retina is part of your brain) when astronauts spend 6 months or more in space. Astronauts experience changes to their optic nerve, retina, and visual acuity amongst other things.

Imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT) used in optometry have been used to study SANS.

In contrast to delicate human tissue, creatures like the tardigrade are fairly resilient to space travel. A 2024 study (Szydlowski et al.) even found that bacterial stowaways ‘exposed to space conditions demonstrate enhanced antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity’, becoming novel species highly adapted to the spacecraft environment.
For most of us, space tourism wasn’t on the agenda this summer but perhaps that will change over the next decade.

In the meantime, to keep your land-based eyes healthy, be sure to keep to the recommended schedule for eye check-ups. On your next visit, you can help us draw or colour in an astronaut!
