Do you have scratchy, dry eyes these days? Sensitivity to light or blurry vision? Mask-Associated Dry Eye is a real thing!

Is there any way to prevent or treat mask-associated dry eye?
Here are some simple measures to help reduce dry eye while wearing a mask:
1. Ensure your mask fits well, and consider taping the top edge to prevent air from rising
from your mouth toward your eyes.
2. Limit your time in air-conditioned or heated environments when possible. Also, take
regular breaks from digital devices.
3. Consult your optometrist, who will examine your eyes and prescribe the best treatment!

We have all heard about the damaging effects of blue light from LED diodes on your eyes. (Screen time on your cellphone, tv or computer). I would like to demonstrate what exactly is meant by a lens that blocks the blue light from LED Diodes.

In this video I compare the normal lens material to the new Blue Cut Technology , you will be able to see that none of the blue light will pass through the lens!

During lockdown, we all spend a lot of extra time in front of our computers, tv's or phone screens, but how good is that for your eyes?
Answer: not good at all! Eye fatigue can cause double vision, headaches, and concentration difficulties, or your eyes can become dry and irritated.
How can we be more eye-friendly in this time?
The following post will explain about damaging Blue Light and how you can act to protect your eyes.

Have you ever wondered what that blurry speck in the sky was?

Eye floaters are dots or specks in a person’s vision that seem to float away when the person tries to look directly at them. They are made up of the vitreous of the eye, and in most cases, they are completely normal. The vitreous is the clear, gel-like substance that fills out most of the eye.

Eye floaters do not usually require treatment, as they themselves do not cause any harm to the sight. However, in some cases, eye floaters may make it difficult to see and will require removal to restore sight.

They are a normal part of the aging process. Although they can be distracting at first, most eye floaters tend to settle down to the bottom of the eye, beneath the field of vision.

(Anyone who notices a sudden and noticeable increase in floaters, should see an eye doctor.)

Why should you not sleep with contact lenses in your eyes?
The cornea is the only part of the body which has no blood supply, and has to draw its oxygen directly from the air.
In addition, it needs oxygen and hydration to fight any bacterial or microbial invasion.
If you do fall asleep with them in, remove them as soon as you can, and let your eye recover for a day before wearing lenses again.
Practice good contact lens hygiene to protect yourself from infection!
