Fun Fact Friday!

Three things happen when you look at something:

1 - Light enters your eye through your pupil.
2 - The cornea and crystalline lens work together to focus the light onto the retina.
3 - The energy from the light is transferred to your brain and decoded into an image.

Do You Need Glasses? Here are 7 signs that you may in fact need them.

1. You are bumping into or tripping over things - Do you find yourself running into things more often than you used to? If you continue bumping into stuff you didn’t see coming, you may want to get your eyes checked sooner than later.

2. Squinting, frequent headaches, rubbing your eyes, or fatigue - Squinting at your smartphone? Blinking to bring things into focus? Eye strain is a typical warning sign that you might need glasses.

3. Sitting too close to a digital screen - Struggling to see what’s on the TV or your laptop and thus sitting a little too close to the screen can be both a warning sign and a cause of eye issues.

4. Unable to see far away or up close - Suffering from hyperopia (farsightedness) or myopia (nearsightedness) is no joke. But getting a handle on these issues earlier is the best way to prevent them from getting worse.

5. Difficulty seeing at night - Having difficulty with your night vision or seeing while driving later in the day? Help the problem with adaptive lenses that transition depending on the light around you.

6. Trouble reading for any length of time or “seeing double” when reading - Much like straining your eyes from squinting at your phone, having trouble reading or experiencing blurred lines while doing so may mean it’s time to get an eye exam.

7. Feeling like you need to hold things farther away from you to see them better - Difficulty focusing in on an object close to you can not only be incredibly frustrating, but it can also lead to eye strain or eye issues like presbyopia.

Are you being safe when it comes to protecting your eyes from UV rays? 🤔

Studies show that long-term exposure to bright sunlight may increase the risk of cataracts and growths on the eye, including cancer. UV rays reflected off sand and water can cause eyes to sunburn, potentially resulting in temporary blindness in just a few hours. In support of UV Safety Month this July, the American Academy of Ophthalmology reminds the public of the importance of shielding eyes from the sun's harmful rays with 100% UV-blocking sunglasses and broad-brimmed hats.
