While the focus for many this February is the road for the Carnival Season, let’s take a 1-minute breather to remember your eyes and their safety.

Between dust, makeup, glitter, face paint, contact lenses, and extended time outdoors, the eyes can easily become irritated.

Rubbing eyes with unwashed hands, sharing makeup, or wearing lenses for longer than recommended can increase the risk of redness, dryness, and infection. Sun exposure and dehydration can also contribute to discomfort and blurred vision.

Simple precautions go a long way.

Keep your hands clean, avoid sharing eye makeup, take breaks from contact lenses when possible, and protect your eyes with sunglasses during daytime events.

If irritation develops, resist the urge to self-treat with random drops and make sure that persistent redness, pain, or discharge is always checked by a professional!

A patient once said to me, “I’m not sure if this matters, but my father had eye problems as he got older.” And, that brief comment changed how we approached their care.

Family history plays an important role in eye health. Many conditions, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and certain retinal diseases, can run in families and often develop quietly over time.

Conversations with parents, grandparents, and siblings can provide valuable insight and empower proactive care. If you’re unsure of your family eye history, that’s a good place to start.

Bring what you know to your next eye exam. Awareness allows us to plan thoughtfully and support your vision for the years ahead.

Thank you so much Ingrid!

I believe that looking after your eyes goes far beyond procedures and surgery. To be a good doctor, is to be someone that helps you understand what’s happening and supports you every step of the way.

Therefore, if you ever leave my office calmer and more confident than when you arrived, I’ve done my job well.

Follow-ups, questions, reassurance; they’re part of the care you deserve and I’m always here to support you in that way.

Our eyes work continuously, often under strain from screens, environmental exposure, and busy schedules.

Supporting eye health therefore requires consistent habits that protect vision over time such as routine eye exams, adequate rest and proper hydration.

Good vision today is valuable, but preserving it for the future matters just as much.

Your vision is precious, and together, we can protect it for years to come. To book your screening call/WhatsApp 298-6668.

A humidifier can be a wonderful ally for your eyes, especially during the the heat or AC leaves them dry, scratchy, and tired.

But like any good friendship, it requires a little effort.

A poorly maintained humidifier can spread bacteria, mould, and minerals into the air, making eye irritation even worse.

Keep your humidity between 30–50%, clean the device consistently, and use distilled water to keep things safe!

The holidays bring joy, excitement, and… toys with questionable designs.

As you’re wrapping presents and making magic happen, here’s a gentle reminder to keep your little ones’ eyes safe from the sneaky risks hiding behind some popular holiday gifts.

This season, choose age-appropriate gifts, and make sure play-time is always supervised. If a toy shoots, launches, or travels at suspicious speeds…maybe give it a second thought before it finds its way under the tree.

Here’s to a season filled with bright lights, happy kids, and healthy eyes!

The holidays have a way of bringing everything into focus; The people we love, the moments that make us smile, and the memories we’ll want to hold onto for years to come.

But how often do we stop and think about how we see it all? How often do we consider the way our vision makes each of these memories that much better?

As the 2025 winds down, it’s easy to get caught up in the year-end hustle.

Planning your gifts for the upcoming holidays? Consider giving your eyes a moment on that shopping list too.

Check in on your eye health, and make sure your vision is good to go for 2026.Think of it as gift to your future self.

Book your end-of-year eye consultation before the year wraps up and enter the new year with clarity and confidence!

Sugar doesn’t just affect your waistline, it can quietly steal your sight!

When blood sugar levels stay high for too long, they damage the delicate vessels in the eyes, leading to various diseases. What’s tricky is that vision loss often starts silently; no pain, no early warning, just gradual change.

Your vision is priceless. Don’t let sugar blur the picture
