Autumn brings crisp air, falling leaves and often dry, itchy eyes.

Why?

Cooler temperatures and wind can dry out your eyes.
Indoor heating can reduce humidity, making eyes feel irritated.

💧Quick tips to keep your eyes happy this autumn:

Use lubricating eye drops if your eyes feel dry.
Wear sunglasses outdoors to shield against wind and debris.
Stay hydrated. Your eyes need water too!

🩺 Tip from the optometrist: If dryness persists, it could signal underlying eye conditions. A routine eye test can help keep your vision comfortable and healthy.

Autumn gardening is a joy, but falling leaves, dry air, and garden debris can put your eyes at risk.

Keep your eyes safe with these simple tips:

• Wear Protective Eyewear – Safety glasses help shield your eyes from soil, branches, and fertilizers.

• Avoid Touching Your Eyes – Wash your hands after gardening to prevent irritation from dirt or pollen.

• Keep Eyes Hydrated – Dry autumn air can irritate your eyes, so drink water and use lubricating drops if needed.

Enjoy the crisp air and beautiful autumn colours safely!

Wearing contact lenses?

These 4 common mistakes can quietly put your eyes at risk:

• Sleeping in your lenses
• Topping up old solution instead of replacing it
• Wearing lenses longer than recommended
• Skipping hand washing before handling them

These might seem small, but over time they can lead to irritation, infections, or more serious problems.

A little care today can save you a lot of discomfort later.

Tired Eyes or Dry Eyes?

They can feel very similar, but they’re not always the same thing.

Tired eyes (eye strain) often happen after:
🔹 Long hours on screens
🔹 Reading or concentrating for a long time
🔹 Poor lighting

Dry Eye Syndrome may feel like:
🔹 Burning or stinging eyes
🔹 Gritty or sandy sensation
🔹 Watery eyes
🔹 Redness that keeps coming back

If the discomfort improves after rest, it may simply be tired eyes.

If it keeps coming back, it might be dry eye.

A proper eye exam can help you find the right relief. 👓
