The Eyes Tell the Story First 👁️

Diabetes often shows its effects in the eyes before anywhere else in the body.

Tiny blood vessels at the back of the eye are sensitive to changes in blood sugar and early damage here can go unnoticed until vision is affected.

Regular eye exams are not just about sight. They’re about catching silent changes before they become serious.

💧👁️ Rubbing your eyes can do more harm than good.

It might feel good for a second, but rubbing your eyes can damage the delicate tissue, worsen irritation, and even lead to issues like corneal thinning over time.

If your eyes are itchy, irritated, or tired, try using lubricating drops, a cool compress, or simply taking a screen break.

Small habits can make a big difference in protecting your vision.

👓 See clearly. Feel confident.

If you’ve been squinting, tilting your head, or holding things a little too close, it might be time for a new pair of glasses.

Your vision can change gradually, so slowly that you may not even notice until headaches, eye strain, or blur creep in.

Let’s make sure your prescription is still perfect for you.

Book your eye test today and find a frame that fits your face and your lifestyle. 💙

💧 Water for your eyes

Did you know that dehydration can affect your vision?

When your body lacks water, your eyes may produce fewer tears, leading to dryness, irritation, and even blurry vision.

So next time you reach for a drink of water, remember: you’re not just helping your body, you’re helping your eyes too. 👁️

👁️💧 What can happen if I use expired eye drops?

Using expired eye drops can be risky:

🔹 They may lose effectiveness, so they won’t relieve your symptoms properly
🔹 Bacteria can grow in the solution, increasing the risk of eye infections
🔹 You could experience irritation, redness, or discomfort

✅ Always check the expiry date before use
✅ Follow the 28-day rule after opening most drops
✅ When in doubt, replace them. It’s safer for your eyes

Your eyes deserve safe, effective care. Don’t take chances with expired products!

🤓 When your glasses no longer fit your life

If your glasses are slipping down your nose, pinching your temples, or giving you headaches, it's not just be the frames.

Your prescription could be out of date too.

Vision and comfort go hand in hand. Properly fitted frames and up-to-date lenses don’t just help you see better, they help you feel better.

If your glasses are older than your phone, it’s time for a check-up. 😉

The Hidden Impact of Poor Lighting 💡

Whether you’re working, studying, or reading, poor lighting can lead to eye strain, headaches, and fatigue.

Make sure your workspace is well lit, not too dim, not too harsh, and adjust screen brightness to match your surroundings.

Your eyes will thank you! 👓
