National Eye Exam Month is coming soon! In the United States, it’s recognized every August, but it’s never too early to show your eyes some love.
Consider it a reminder from the ophthalmology profession for the general public: “Hey, let’s not forget our eyes, ok?”
Ready to learn a little more about eye examinations and caring for your eyes year-round?
If you’ve been tempted to use your eyewash solution as your contact lens solution, or think you ever might be, this post is for you.
Maybe you forgot to restock, or you’re on the road and forgot to bring your lens solutions. Whatever the reason, stop. Don’t do it. There’s a good reason why, and much more to learn.
Let’s explore this further so you can fully understand the answer and possibly prevent costly mistakes that can impact your vision now or in the future.
Wearing contact lenses is like having a little secret; no one needs to know you’re wearing them, yet they’re a silent lifesaver.
But let’s be honest, we all have so many questions about how to wear them properly and safely. Since they touch your eyeballs all day, it’s fair to be curious about best practices and hygiene standards. No one enjoys eye infections after all!
You’re not alone in wondering about one big question: Do contact lenses expire? I’m going to answer this burning question so you can wear your lenses without any doubts.
One of the more persistent questions on the internet is, “Can you get pink eye from a fart?” This is a serious question that has tainted the name of the good ’ol fart, a natural and necessary bodily function. It must be avenged!
Seriously, though … Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is an eye inflammation that can be contagious. There are several causes of conjunctivitis, such as bacteria, viruses, or allergens. Fortunately, being nearby when someone lets one rip isn’t one of them.
It’s time to demystify pink eye!
Do you find yourself squinting to see road signs? Or maybe you get frequent unexplained headaches? You’re not alone!
Here’s a statistic you probably didn’t expect to see today. According to The Vision Council, 197.6 million adults in the United States use vision correction. That’s a whopping 75.6% of the adult population!
Now that you know how common it is, perhaps it’s time to see if corrective lenses can help you. By walking you through some of the benefits, I’ll help you take the first step toward better vision and a higher quality of life!
