Your lenses and frames can be damaged by heat, friction and pressure, often without you realising it.

Simple habits make them last longer:

✔ Use a proper lens cloth
✔ Store them in a hard case
✔ Keep them away from heat
✔ Remove before naps

A little care goes a long way.

Headaches after screen use are worth paying attention to.

Common triggers:
• Long periods of close focus
• Reduced blinking

• Incorrect or outdated prescriptions

Simple habits that help:
• Follow the 20-20-20 rule
• Adjust brightness to match your room
• Keep screens about an arm’s length away

If headaches persists, we can help you find the cause, and the right solution.

Are your arms getting shorter… or is it presbyopia?

If you’re holding your phone further away, struggling with small print, or needing brighter light to read, it’s probably not your arms.

Presbyopia is a natural age-related change that affects your ability to focus on near objects.

It usually starts in your 40s and gradually becomes more noticeable over time.

The good news?

It’s completely manageable with the right lenses. A comprehensive eye exam can confirm what’s happening and help you see comfortably again — near and far.

Blinking isn’t just a reflex.

It’s essential for healthy vision.

Blinking keeps your eyes moist, clears away dust, and gives your brain tiny breaks while focusing.

We blink about 15–20 times a minute, but far less when using screens, which can make your eyes feel dry and tired.

So if your eyes feel strained today… blink a little more 😉

🍭👁️ How Diabetes Affects Your Eyes 👁️🍭

Diabetes can quietly affect your eye health, even before vision changes are noticeable.

It increases the risk of conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, glaucoma, and dry eyes, all of which can impact long-term vision if left untreated.

Regular eye exams play a vital role in early detection and protection of your eyesight.

If you’re diabetic, routine eye exams aren’t optional, they’re essential.
