Congratulations to all who took part in todays Great North Run!🥇🙌😱

As we take the time to celebrate the achievement of completing the run and the fundraising for some amazing charities, we would also like to offer some post-run eye health care advice:👁

After a run, your eyes can sometimes feel irritated, dry, or blurry, especially in certain conditions (wind, cold, dust, or sweat)

👁 Flush Your Eyes
-If eyes feel gritty or irritated, rinse them gently with cool, clean water or use sterile saline drops.
-Avoid rubbing your eyes — this can worsen irritation or scratch the cornea.

💦 Use Lubricating Eye Drops
-Artificial tears can help restore moisture if your eyes feel dry or tight after the run.
-Avoid redness-reducing drops for regular use — they can cause rebound effects.

👀Cool Compress
-A clean, cool washcloth over your closed eyes can reduce puffiness, redness, or any mild inflammation post-run.

🚿Clean Around the Eyes
-Sweat can carry salt and debris into your eyes. Gently wash your face with water to avoid irritation or clogged oil glands (which can cause styes or dry eyes).

🚰Hydrate
-Dehydration can lead to dry eyes. Drink water after your run to rehydrate your body and eyes.

😎Wear Sunglasses Next Time
-UV rays, wind, and dust can stress your eyes during a run. Wraparound UV-protective sunglasses help shield them.
-Especially important for trail running or long runs in open, sunny, or windy areas.

👓Check for Contact Lens Issues
-If you wear contacts, consider switching to daily disposables for post-run hygiene or using sports-specific lenses.
-Always clean and store lenses properly post-run.

⚠Look for Warning Signs
-If you experience persistent blurry vision, pain, redness, or sensitivity to light, it may signal a more serious issue — consider seeing an eye doctor.

👒 Wear a Hat or Visor

-Especially important if you run in dry, windy, or cold environments.

👀Be Careful with Contact Lenses
