If the holiday lights are looking more like starbursts or fuzzy halos this year, that’s not just “getting older.” It could be early cataracts or dry eye playing tricks on your night vision. The sparkle should be in the lights, not your sight.

November is about slowing down and noticing what we often overlook — including our vision. Every sunrise, every loved one’s smile, every flickering candlelight during the holidays — your eyes capture it all. This month, pause and thank them for the world they let you see.

Think about this: your heart beats around 100,000 times a day… but your eyes? They blink around 15–20 times every minute. That’s nearly 28,000 blinks a day — a built-in cleaning, moisturizing, and refreshing system you never even think about. Your eyes are working overtime long before you’ve had your first cup of coffee.

One of the strangest things about dry eye? Many people cry more. Your eyes flood with reflex tears that don’t stick, because the protective oil layer is broken. It’s like trying to water a plant with a leaky bucket.

Macular degeneration feels like trying to read a book with a coffee stain right in the middle of the page. You can still see the edges, but the part that matters most is gone. It’s not blindness — it’s absence.

Blue eyes aren’t actually blue. They have no blue pigment at all. Instead, the iris scatters light in the same way Earth’s atmosphere makes the sky look blue. Which means, technically, every blue-eyed person is walking around with a tiny sky inside their eyes. ☁️👁️

Conditions like glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy don’t hurt. They don’t announce themselves with pain or redness. They just quietly rearrange your sight until it’s too late. That’s why they’re so dangerous — the absence of symptoms is the symptom.

Just like leaves fade slowly from green to brown, AMD fades vision little by little. The change isn’t dramatic overnight — it’s gradual, quiet, and often unnoticed until the “color” of sight is gone.

- Even when you stare at one spot, your eyes make tiny, constant movements called
microsaccades. Without them, your vision would fade to gray in seconds. Your brain keeps the world “alive” by never letting your eyes stay still.

Imagine standing in a forest where the trees around you slowly vanish, one by one, while the path in front of you stays clear. That’s how glaucoma works — it steals your peripheral vision quietly, until one day the tunnel is all that’s left. That’s why early detection is key!

People often describe cataract surgery not as “getting clearer vision,” but as “seeing color again.” Blues look blue again. Reds pop. Autumn leaves look golden, not beige. Cataracts don’t just blur — they drain the vibrancy from the world.
