Ever wondered if those semi-annual eye checkups are really necessary, especially when your eyes seem perfectly fine? π€
They are, and here's why...
Regular eye exams are not just about addressing existing issues; they're also about prevention and early detection.
Your eyes might seem healthy on the surface, but there could be subtle changes or underlying problems that only a comprehensive eye exam can uncover.
Your eye exams play a vital role in detecting early-stage eye conditions, identifying prescription updates you might have missed, and offering valuable insights into your overall health.
So, when someone asks if they should come for semi-annual checkups even with healthy-seeming eyes, the answer is a resounding YES!
It's not just about what you can see but also what might be hiding beneath the surface.
Keep those appointments to safeguard your precious vision and overall well-being.

There are no shortage of "eye myths" out there! It's tough to know what to believe.
We're on a mission to give you the lowdown on the real facts, so you can make smart choices for the well-being of your eyes.
Myth #1: "Sitting too close to the screen damages your eyes!" πΊ
π« Fact: While sitting in close proximity won't cause irreversible harm, prolonged screen time can lead to eye fatigue which is not what we want! Remember to give your eyes breaks every 20 minutes or so, by looking off in the distance for 20 seconds.
Myth #2: "Reading in dim light makes your eyes worse!" π
π« Fact: Although it won't result in blindness, reading in low light puts strain on your eye muscles which is unideal.
Myth #3: "Wearing glasses weakens your eyes!" π
π« Fact: Embrace your eyewear with confidence, as glasses won't compromise your ocular health. Rather, they enhance your vision.
Myth #4: "Staring at the sun will improve your eyesight!" βοΈ
π« Fact: Gazing at the sun poses serious risks to your eyes. If you want to get sunlight on your face, ensure you're wearing UV protected eyewear and keep your eyes closed.
Myth #5: "You can improve your eyesight by doing eye exercises."
π« Fact: While eye exercises can strengthen eye muscles and alleviate strain, they won't alter your prescription. We'll demystify the truth behind these exercises for you.
Did you believe any of these eye myths? Which one? Let us know in the comments!

LOW pressure increases the risk of conditions like...
π Swelling of the cornea
