How to Properly Wear and Remove Your Glasses😎

Wearing and removing your glasses correctly helps keep them in good condition and ensures they last longer.
Here are some simple tips:

📌Use both hands:

Always use both hands when putting on or taking off your glasses. Hold the temples (the arms) on both sides and gently place or remove them.
Using one hand can bend the frame or loosen the hinges over time.

👁️ What is Keratoconus?

Frequent eye rubbing
Allergies and chronic eye irritation
Underlying connective tissue disorders

🔍 Symptoms:

Blurry or distorted vision
Increased sensitivity to light
Seeing halos around lights at night
Frequent changes in glasses prescription

Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) – to stop progression
Intacs (tiny corneal implants)
Corneal transplant – in advanced cases

⚠️ Don’t Ignore the Signs!

What is Presbyopia? (හතලිස් ඇදිරිය) 👓👁️

Presbyopia is a natural, age-related condition that affects your ability to see things up close. It usually starts around age 40 and progresses gradually. ⏳

Why does it happen? 🤔

As we age, the lens inside our eye becomes less flexible. This makes it harder to focus on nearby objects like reading a book 📖 or looking at a phone screen 📱

Common Symptoms ⚠️

Difficulty reading small print 🔍
Holding books or phones farther away to see clearly ✋📚
Eye strain or headaches after close work 😣🤯

How to manage it ✅

Using reading glasses or bifocals 👓
Regular eye exams to monitor changes 🩺

Blue light blocking glasses are special types of eyewear designed to filter out or block blue light emitted from digital screens such as computers, smartphones, tablets, and TVs.

📌 Key Features:
They have lenses with a blue light filter.
Help reduce eye strain, dryness, and fatigue caused by long screen exposure.
May improve sleep quality by reducing the disruption of melatonin (the sleep hormone), which blue light can affect.

📌 Benefits:
Reduce digital eye strain and discomfort.
Improve sleep patterns, especially when screens are used at night.
Ideal for people who work long hours in front of screens or use digital devices frequently.

📌 When to Use:
During extended screen time (e.g., work, studying, gaming).
At night to avoid sleep disturbances caused by screen exposure.

⚠️ Damaged Lenses = Damaged Vision
Using scratched or damaged lenses might not seem serious at first — but over time, they can silently harm your eyesight.

You may experience:
❌ Blurry or unclear vision
❌ Headaches or eye strain
❌ Discomfort while wearing glasses

👉 If your lenses are scratched, cracked, or uncomfortable to wear, it’s time to replace them.

🔁 Why Replace Them?
Replacing damaged lenses isn't just about better vision — it's about protecting your eyes.

✅ Scratches reduce clarity and distort your view
✅ Cracks can worsen over time and even cause injuries
✅ Old lenses may carry dust or bacteria
✅ Wearing damaged lenses daily can lead to long-term issues

💡 Don’t wait until your vision gets worse.

📆 If it’s been a while, or you’re noticing any discomfort

➡️ Visit us and get your lenses checked.
➡️ We’re here to help you switch to a fresh, comfortable pair.

Your eyes deserve care. Start with clear lenses. 👓
