The holiday season brings joy and connection, but it can also bring stress that affects your entire body—including your eyes. When we're stressed, we tend to tense our facial and eye muscles, leading to headaches, eye strain, and fatigue. Stress can also trigger or worsen conditions like dry eye and eye twitching, and it may cause changes in blood pressure that affect the delicate blood vessels in your eyes. Taking care of your overall wellbeing directly supports your eye health. Simple practices like getting adequate sleep, staying hydrated, taking regular breaks from screens, and practicing relaxation techniques can make a real difference in how your eyes feel. Remember that your eye health is interconnected with your whole-body health. If you're experiencing new or worsening eye symptoms, we're here to help you find relief and ensure everything looks healthy.
