Carrots help you see better. Really? For most people, the answer is no. The idea that eating carrots improving a person’s night vision originated in World War II British propaganda, although the purpose and intended target of the propaganda is not entirely clear.

Q: Why does vision often worsen after 40?
A: After the age of 40, many people experience presbyopia, which is difficulty focusing on close objects. This happens because the lens in the eye becomes less elastic. Other changes include reduced pupil responsiveness, which affects night vision, and changes in retinal cells, making low-light vision less effective.

No escaping it; we are well and truly back in the work zone now - so it is a timely reminder regarding the 20-20-20 rule.
We can all agree that there is an ever-increasing dependency on smartphones and laptops. This has made our eyes exposed to digital strain daily.
The 20-20-20 rule is a game changer: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This simple practice relaxes eye muscles, reduces strain, and prevents dryness caused by staring at screens for long hours.

☀️ Why should we wear sunglasses, especially here in Australia? 🌞

Australia's sun is no joke! With higher UV levels, protecting our eyes is essential. Sunglasses aren't just a fashion statement—they shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and even sunburned eyes. Plus, they help prevent those annoying squint lines. Whether you're at the beach, driving, or just enjoying the great outdoors, keep your eyes safe and stylish with a good pair of sunnies! 😎 Image credit VS Eyewear

EyeTalk Tip - Using expired makeup can put your eyes at risk! It's easy to overlook the shelf life of your favourite products, especially if you use them regularly. But items like mascara and eyeliner can harbour bacteria and lead to infections.

Look out for the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol on the packaging to see how long you should keep your makeup after first use – for mascara, that's usually around three months.

Storing your makeup properly is just as important. Improper storage can shorten the product's lifespan and allow bacteria or mould to develop, which can be harmful.

😴 Ever tempted to sleep with your contact lenses in? Think again! 👁️

Sleeping with contact lenses can reduce oxygen flow to your eyes, leading to dryness, irritation, and even infections like keratitis. Over time, this can cause serious damage and discomfort. No matter how tired you are, always take a few minutes to remove your lenses before bed. Your eyes will thank you in the morning! 🌙
