When To Schedule An Eye Exam
How long has it been since your last eye exam? A year? Two? Longer?
How often should we be scheduling our eye exams, and what are some good reasons to come in between regular appointments? If you aren’t sure, then you’ve come to the right place, because we’re here to discuss the reasons to schedule an eye appointment and how often everyone should have them!

What Does A “Regular” Eye Exam Mean?
Depending on your age and risk factors, how often you should have an eye exam will vary widely. Children should have their first eye exam around six months old, come back around their third birthday, and again before they start first grade. For patients age six to sixty whose vision health isn’t considered “at-risk,” an eye exam every other year is generally enough. After age sixty, frequency should increase to yearly eye exams. Optometrists will determine the best schedule for at-risk patients.

What Is “At-Risk” Vision?
A few things can increase a person’s chances of developing an eye disease, including diabetes and hypertension (both diseases that can negatively impact vision), as well as a family history of eye diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration. There are also prescription medications with vision-related side effects such as dry eye, and it’s important to monitor that so it doesn’t lead to other complications like an eye infection. Wearing contact lenses also increases the risk of infections.

5 Signs It’s Time For An Eye Exam
Now you know how often to schedule regular appointments and some of the risk factors that could increase your appointment frequency, but what if something happens between appointments? Here are a few reasons not to wait until the next one to go see your local Vision Source® member optometrist:

Blurred vision. If your vision is starting to blur, you probably need a new glasses prescription, so come on in!
Frequent headaches. Many things can cause headaches, including digital eye strain.
Floaters or bright flashes. A few floaters are normal, but if you’ve noticed a bunch of new ones, schedule an appointment right away, particularly if you’re also seeing bright flashes or losing peripheral vision. These are symptoms of retinal detachment, which must be treated as quickly as possible to preserve vision.
Light sensitivity. A little light sensitivity usually isn’t a problem, but if it suddenly gets bad, it could indicate an eye infection.
Difficulty driving at night. If the road lines and street signs become difficult to see at night, it could be a sign of vision loss or nearsightedness. It could be as simple as needing a stronger prescription, but it could also be a symptom of an eye disease.

Glaucoma 101: Eyes Under Pressure
Human eyesight is an incredibly complex system, and a problem anywhere along the way can lead to seriously compromised vision.
One such problem is glaucoma, a group of eye conditions that affect millions of people in the US, making it the second most common cause of vision loss and blindness in the country. In most cases, glaucoma is the result of damage to the optic nerve from increased pressure in the eye.

Intraocular Pressure: A Delicate Balance
The human eye is filled with fluid — aqueous humor in the front chambers, vitreous humor in the larger rear chamber behind the lens. In a healthy eye, the pressure of this fluid remains within a safe range because the amount of aqueous humor being produced is roughly equal to the amount flowing out through the pupil. In an eye with glaucoma, this drainage system does not work the way it should.

2 Common Types Of Glaucoma
At least three million Americans have open-angle glaucoma, which comes on very gradually (over the course of years) and accounts for 90 percent of glaucoma cases. The drainage canals of the eye become clogged, stopping the fluid from draining effectively and causing the pressure to build. Because this process is so slow and vision isn’t noticeably affected until late in the disease, regular comprehensive eye exams are essential for catching it early on and halting its progress.

The second most common type of glaucoma is angle-closure glaucoma. Unlike the gradual progression of open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma happens very suddenly, when the iris (the colorful circular muscle that regulates the amount of light that comes in through the pupil) actually blocks the drainage canals. This tends to come with a variety of symptoms, such as headaches, nausea, eye pain, very blurred vision, and rainbows around lights. Get to the eye doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms.
Common Risk Factors
While everyone has some risk of developing glaucoma, certain factors can make it more likely. Glaucoma is far more common in people over 60, particularly African Americans and Hispanics. People of Asian descent are at greater risk of angle-closure glaucoma.

A major risk factor for glaucoma is heredity. Studies estimate that over half of glaucoma cases are familial. Someone with a sibling who has glaucoma is ten times more likely to develop it than someone who doesn’t. Other risk factors include eye injury and steroid use.

Your Optometrist Is Your Best Resource
Other autoimmune conditions that impact eye health include Sjorgen’s syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, uveitis, and Behcet disease.
One of the most essential things we can do to maintain our quality of life is protect our eyesight.
Vision loss increases with age, and one in every six adults deals with a sight-threatening eye problem. Some of the leading causes of blindness and low vision are age-related diseases like macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, but there are ways we can fight back.

1. Learn If You Are At Risk For Eye Disease
Does your family have a history of diabetes or high blood pressure? Are you over 65 years old or an African-American over age 40? Factors like these contribute to your risk of developing sight-threatening eye diseases, so make sure you’re aware of them.

2. Live A Healthy Lifestyle
The way you live can have a huge impact on your overall health, and that includes your eyes. Eating healthy foods, including plenty of fruits and colorful or dark green vegetables will help your eyes stay healthy, as will regular exercise. And as we can improve our health by maintaining these kinds of good habits, we can also stay healthier by avoiding bad habits like smoking, as smoking increases a person’s risk of developing a number of sight-threatening conditions.

3. Schedule Regular Physical Exams
Chronic diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes can cause numerous problems if undiagnosed and untreated, including eye problems. Diabetes in particular can lead to vision loss due to diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration, and untreated high blood pressure can lead to eye strokes.

4. Schedule Regular Eye Exams
The only way your eye doctor will be able to catch an eye disease early on to begin managing and treating it will be if you are scheduling your regular eye exams. Catching these diseases early is often the difference between vision loss and successfully saving the patient’s sight.

5. Be On The Watch For Changes In Your Vision
Whenever you notice a change in your vision, you should come see us right away. It could be something as simple as needing an updated prescription for your glasses or contacts, but symptoms like red eyes, flashes of light, a sudden increase in the number of floaters you see, and eye pain or swelling may be signs of serious eye problems that need immediate attention.

6. Protect Your Eyes From UV Rays
Even people with no predisposition for eye disease need eye protection from the sun, but it’s not as simple as grabbing the nearest cheap pair of sunglasses you can find. Make sure that the pair you wear block 100 percent of UV-A and UV-B rays before you buy them, because sunglasses that don’t block UV rays can actually be worse than no sunglasses at all.

Autoimmune Disease And Vision
An autoimmune disease is a disorder that causes the immune system to mistake healthy cells for dangerous pathogens and attack them.
Many autoimmune diseases impact the health and function of the eyes. It’s important to be aware of these affects if you or someone you love has an autoimmune disease, so let’s take a look at some of the more common ones.

Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is so closely linked to vision health that eye doctors are sometimes the first to spot the disorder. In many cases, optic neuritis (a gradual or sudden loss of vision due to the inflammation of the optic nerve) is one of the first symptoms to appear.

Psoriasis
We tend to think of psoriasis as a skin condition where skin cells build up to form scaly, dry, itchy patches. However, it can also cause inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane covering the inside of the eyelids and the whites of the eyes, causing redness and discomfort.

Thyroid Disease
Disorders that cause high or low thyroid function lead to an increased risk of glaucoma, a serious eye condition in which increased pressure in the eye damages the optic nerve, causing vision loss. High thyroid function can cause tissues to build up around the eyes, increasing the pressure. At the other end of the spectrum, low thyroid function can make it harder for the eyes to circulate fluids, another way that fluid pressure can increase.

Lupus
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can damage the skin, joints, organs, and even the eyes. Symptoms range from mild to life-threatening. Lupus affects the eyes by causing inflammation. Symptoms include blurred vision, headaches, dry eye, soreness, and light sensitivity.

Type 1 Diabetes
All forms of diabetes have dangerous implications for vision health, but type 1, even though it is far less common than type 2, is one of the leading causes of blindness in the US. Poor blood sugar control is very hard on blood vessels over time, including the blood vessels in the back of the eye. When the weakened vessels break, they compromise the retina’s blood supply and leak blood into the eye. This is called diabetic retinopathy, but diabetes also increases the risk of developing cataracts and glaucoma.
Your Optometrist Is Your Best Resource
Other autoimmune conditions that impact eye health include Sjorgen’s syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, uveitis, and Behcet disease.

Staying Ahead Of Age-Related Vision Loss
Have you noticed any changes in your eyesight in the last few years?
The older we get, the more important it is for us to be on the watch for symptoms of age-related vision loss. As your partners in life-long healthy vision, we at Vision Source® want to make sure you’re prepared.

Common Types Of Age-Related Vision Loss
Most of us will eventually need glasses to read, even if we’ve had perfect vision our whole lives. This is called presbyopia, nearsightedness caused by loss of flexibility in our eyes’ lenses. If you find yourself struggling more and more to read small print, or if you have to hold your book farther and farther from your face to read it, it’s probably time to buy a pair of reading glasses.

More serious eye conditions that can affect us as we age are glaucoma, retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and cataracts. While all of these can cause vision loss, the good news is that most of them can be treated, delayed, or even reversed — particularly through early detection, which can be achieved through regular eye exams.
Live An Eye-Healthy Lifestyle
As important as early detection is to preserving healthy vision, there are also many things you can do in your everyday life to keep your eyesight healthy.

Stay active. Getting plenty of exercise is great for your whole body, including your eyes! Studies show that those who live sedentary lifestyles are more prone to age-related vision loss than active people.
Eat healthy. The foods you eat can reduce your risk for eye problems like age-related macular degeneration. A diet rich in bell peppers, carrots, dark leafy greens, sweet potatoes, salmon, blueberries, chia seeds, and turkey will give your eyes important nutrients for healthy vision.
UV protection. Whether direct or indirect, the sun’s rays are harmful to our eyes, and the damage can be cumulative over the course of our lives. Make sure to wear sunglasses with 100 percent protection from UV-A and UV-B rays to keep your eyes safe!
Don’t smoke. Where eating healthy and staying active are great for our eyes and our overall health, smoking is harmful to every part of the body. A smoking habit greatly increases the risk of developing eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, dry eye, and diabetic retinopathy.
Cut down on screen time. When we spend hours and hours glued to our screens, it can be very hard on our eyes. A simple way to reduce or prevent symptoms of digital eye strain is to follow the 20-20-20 rule. Spend a minimum of twenty seconds looking at something at least twenty feet away once every twenty minutes to give your eyes a break!
Remember your eye exams. Again, regular eye exams are crucial to catching eye problems before they become serious, so make sure you’re getting those appointments in!

5 Reasons Eye Exams Matter
We all have busy lives, so it can be easy to forget about things like scheduling regular eye exams.
That’s why we’re using this blog post to give you five great reasons to remember your eyesight when you’re planning your time!

1. An Ounce Of Prevention…
Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, are slow-acting, so that they’re very advanced by the time you notice the symptoms. The most important thing we can do to avoid permanent vision loss from these types of diseases is to schedule those regular eye exams so they can be caught early on and treated.

2. A Simple Vision Screening Won’t Cut It
Many schools provide free vision screenings, which seems like a pretty good deal. The problem is that these screenings focus on visual acuity, which means they don’t catch everything. Only a comprehensive eye exam with an optometrist can check for other issues that could be making vision-related tasks (such as reading) difficult or uncomfortable for a child.

3. Don’t Let Digital Eye Strain Impact Your Work
Many of us have jobs that require us to spend most of the day looking at a computer screen, and this can lead to eye strain, with symptoms such as blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches. Regular eye exams are a great way to make sure you have the right tools to fight back against eye strain.

4. Keep Those Prescriptions Up-To-Date!
Our vision changes as we get older, and glasses or contacts that used to provide us with perfectly clear vision may gradually become less effective. Don’t subject yourself to months or years of endless squinting; schedule your next eye exam so you can get new lenses!

5. The Eyes Are The Windows To Overall Health
As important as it is to have eye exams for the sake of preventing and diagnosing eye diseases and keeping your prescription current, they’re also a great way to look out for your overall health. The eye doctor is often the first person to spot the signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even cancer, all from a routine eye exam.

What Is Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss for people over the age of 50.
In AMD patients, vision loss occurs as the macula deteriorates over time. The macula is the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision, AMD can make it difficult or impossible to do daily tasks like reading, writing, and driving.

Who Is At Risk?
Macular degeneration can happen earlier in life, but age is easily the biggest risk factor. A few others include race and genetics. Unfortunately, none of these factors are things we can control, but we can control whether or not we smoke, as smoking is yet another risk factor for AMD.

Symptoms Of AMD
AMD often goes undetected for a long time because it is painless and the negative effects on vision take a while to manifest. Over time, however, blurry patches or dark spots will begin to appear in the central vision. Objects may also appear less bright than they used to, or they may seem warped.
Wet And Dry AMD
AMD cases fall into two main categories: wet and dry. The most common form is dry macular degeneration, accounting for up to 90 percent of people with the condition. Dry AMD happens when the tissues of the macula grow thinner over time, accompanied by fatty deposits of drusin in the retina. The effects of dry AMD tend to be less serious.

The remaining 10 percent of AMD cases will progress to the more dangerous form: wet AMD. This occurs when new blood vessels grow under the retina in an effort to strengthen the blood supply. However, these new vessels are unstable and can leak fluid and scar the macula, resulting in faster and worse vision loss.

Helping Your Eyes Stay Healthy
There is currently no cure for AMD, but there is still a lot we can do to reduce our risk of developing it and slow its progress after diagnosis. The most important thing is to build and maintain healthy habits.

Regular exercise and healthy eating promote whole-body wellness, and that includes eye health. Make sure to include plenty of carrots, fish, leafy greens, and eggs. Wearing UV-blocking sunglasses and avoiding smoking will also help protect your eyes.

Smart Contact Lenses?
It wasn’t so long ago that the idea of a smart contact lens seemed like the stuff of science fiction, but it’s pretty close to becoming science fact.
What exactly are smart contact lenses, and what would they be for? Let’s take a look at a few of the different possibilities we could be seeing in the not-so-distant future.

Contacts For Monitoring Blood Sugar
One application smart contacts will likely have is monitoring blood sugar levels of diabetics by measuring the amount of glucose in the tear film. When these become available, diabetics will be able to say goodbye to the daily finger prick test, because their contacts will be able to get the same information simply by wearing them!

Contacts For Eye Medication
In 2018, a team from Harvard Medical School developed contact lenses that can deliver medication directly to the eye over a period of days or weeks. These lenses could be used to treat eye diseases like glaucoma or help with the recovery from an eye surgery. How would you like to simply put in a contact lens instead of having to remember to use eye drops?

Smart Vision Correction For Presbyopia Patients
If you wear bifocals or progressive lenses, can you imagine wearing contact lenses that automatically adjust to help you see up-close or far away? That would mean no more lines across your vision, and you wouldn’t need to turn your head to see things at different distances. We look forward to hearing more about this kind of smart contact lens technology.
Obstacles To Smart Lenses
As exciting as this futuristic technology is, there are a number of roadblocks that make it incredibly complicated. It isn’t just about making smaller circuitry and computer chips — this stuff also needs to be wearable, breathable, see-through, and safe. It will be very exciting to see the kinds of smart contact lenses that come out, as well as the other ways that kind of technology could be used.

All About Those Lenses
Let’s face it: glasses and contact lenses are pretty amazing.
For so many people around the world, two little pieces of clear material are the difference between living in a blurry, muddled world and being able to read, drive, and appreciate the details of their surroundings. How do these amazing devices do what they do?

Lens Curvature And The Shape Of The Eye
To understand how lenses correct vision, we first have to look at why vision needs correcting. In a normal eye, light passes through the cornea and lens and is focused onto the retina at the back, which sends the image up the optic nerve to the brain. When someone is farsighted, it is because their eyes are shorter than normal, so the image from the lens overshoots the retina, making up-close objects blurry.

When someone is nearsighted, their eyes are too long, making the image from the lens fall short, which results in distant objects looking blurry. Glasses and contact lenses compensate for the shape of the eye by refocusing the image onto the retina. Farsighted people need lenses that are convex (thicker in the middle) to do the trick, while nearsighted people need lenses that are concave (thicker at the edges).

Lenses For Astigmatism
Another common reason people need glasses is astigmatism. Whereas the entire eyeball is the wrong shape for people who are nearsighted or farsighted, an astigmatism happens the cornea or the lens is irregularly shaped. This causes blurred vision at any distance, and often occurs together with nearsightedness or farsightedness. In order to correct astigmatism, lenses must be cylindrical in shape, rather than spherical.

Modern Lens Materials
In the good old days, glasses were made of regular glass, which meant they were thick, heavy, and incredibly fragile. Today, thanks to a number of advances in technology, we have a variety of options to suit different patients’ needs.

There are plastic lenses ranging from standard to high-index, which are lightweight and thinner than glass lenses. Polycarbonate lenses are great for kids because they are shatterproof. If you want the benefits of all the different lens materials, there are also composite lenses.

If you’re more interested in contact lenses, those come in different materials too. Most commonly, soft silicone hydrogels and rigid gas-permeable plastic. The right type for you will depend on your prescription and what you find comfortable.

Keratoconus And Eyesight
Do you remember in old cartoons when a character would see a delicious plate of food and his eyes would comically bulge out like footballs?
That pointed cone shape of the eye in such scenes isn’t much different from the effects of keratoconus, a vision disorder in which the cornea (the front part of the eye) goes from being its normal rounded shape to thinner and more pointed.

Cornea Shape And Vision
The different structures of our eyes need to have very specific shapes in order to reflect light onto the light-sensitive retina and enable us to see clearly. The reason many people need glasses at an early age is that their eyes are too long or too short. This makes the image reflected through the lens fall in front of the retina or behind it, making images blurry at different distances.

With keratoconus, because of the misshapen cornea, the image reflected through the lens of the eye becomes distorted at any distance, producing multiple images or warping them before they reach the retina.

Symptoms And Progression Of Keratoconus
In early stages, keratoconus results in slightly blurred and distorted vision, as well as sensitivity to light and glare. Typically these symptoms will appear in the late teens or 20s, and may progress for up to twenty years before slowing. As keratoconus worsens, it can produce double vision, multiple images, glare around lights, and poor night vision.

In rare cases, the thinned cornea may develop a tiny crack because of the strain of the cone-like shape. When a crack forms, the cornea will swell, significantly impacting vision for weeks or months as it heals, leaving a scar behind that also impacts vision.
Vision Correction For Keratoconus
While there are no medications that can prevent keratoconus from progressing, its effects on vision are correctable with glasses or contact lenses in the early stages. Because the eye’s shape is changing over time, these may not fully correct the problem in the later stages, but rigid gas permeable lenses can still produce significant improvements. Regular eye appointments are very important to make sure contact lenses fit properly and continue to correct vision. In particularly severe cases, a corneal transplant may become necessary.

Changes In Your Vision? Schedule an appointment.
If you’ve noticed any changes in your eyesight, whether or not you are within the typical age range for developing keratoconus, it’s time to schedule your next eye appointment. You might only need an updated prescription for your glasses or contact lenses, but the changes could also be due to keratoconus or another more serious condition.

The Different Types Of Contact Lenses
Compared to all the different frame styles and lens shapes of glasses, it might seem like contact lenses are much simpler.
However, there are actually many different types of contact lenses too, varying in shape, durability, and material, and we’ll be taking all of these variables into account when finding the right lenses for you.

Toric Versus Spherical Lenses
Just as glasses lenses will be shaped differently depending on the type of correction your vision needs, contacts are shaped differently too. Spherical contacts are shaped for treating myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and presbyopia (age-related farsightedness), but this shape can’t do anything to fix an astigmatism. That’s where toric lenses come in. These are cylindrical lenses designed to correct the warp in the cornea, and they are kept in the correct position by gravity and blinking.
Daily Versus Extended Wear Lenses
Most contact lenses are wearable only during the day, and for the sake of our eyes’ health, we have to take them out again at night. Some are meant to be thrown away after a single day’s use, and some are meant to last multiple weeks. It is a terrible idea to try saving money on contact lenses by wearing them longer than what is recommended on the packaging and by the optometrist, because they can become contaminated over time, which puts your eyes at risk of infection.

Extended wear contacts are specifically designed to be so comfortable and gas-permeable that they are safe to wear overnight. New technology and materials have made extended wear contacts safer than they used to be, but even in FDA approved lenses, the risk of infection and other problems from leaving contacts in for days or even weeks at a time still exists.

Soft Versus Hard Lenses
The earliest contact lenses were incredibly thick and made of glass. Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then, and the two most common options for lens materials are silicone hydrogels (soft) and plastic (hard). Both allow plenty of oxygen to reach the cornea, but each has different advantages. Soft lenses are more comfortable and stay in place better, while hard or rigid gas permeable lenses correct more vision problems, are easy to put on and clean, cover less of the eye, and last a comparatively long time.

The Mechanics Of Eyesight
Our eyes are amazing, complicated organs.
Many different parts have to work together to convert the light bouncing off everything around us into a continuous stream of images that we can understand. What are these different parts and how do they contribute to our ability to see?

The Parts Of The Eye
We’re not going to look at all the parts of the eye, just the ones most directly involved in creating an image to send to the brain, starting at the front of the eye and moving to the back.

The very front of the eye is the cornea, a clear layer that allows light inside.
The amount of light that gets in is controlled by the iris, a colorful, circular muscle that contracts and relaxes based on how bright it is.
Just inside the front of the eye is the lens, which, unlike camera lenses, is able to change its shape in order to focus on objects different distances away.
The lens focuses light onto the retina at the back of the eye, which is covered in light-sensitive rods and cones.
Finally, the optic nerve takes the information received by the retina to the brain so that it can be converted into an image.
Binocular Vision
If you put your hand over one eye, then switch to the other eye, you’ll notice that you see a slightly different image. This is because of the position of our eyes. Putting the two images together creates a 3D image and gives us depth perception.

The Brain’s Visual Cortex
All the visual information collected by the retina in each eye goes up the optic nerves and to the visual cortex of the brain, which is located in the occipital lobe in the back. The entire process happens many times per second, which is how we are able to perceive motion.

How Our Eyes Keep Themselves Healthy
Now you know how the two eyes, their parts, and the vision center of the brain work together, but what about how they stay in good shape? Our eyes have defense and maintenance systems built in. Our eyelids protect our eyes with the help of our eyelashes and eyebrows. Blinking keeps our eyes moist, cleans off any debris, and blocks more from getting in. And, of course, we can close our eyes to block out the light so we can sleep!

Next up are our tear glands, which produce tears to wash contaminants, dust, and microbes away. These glands are constantly at work to maintain the crucial tear film on the surface of the eye, and the tear ducts in our lower eyelids catch the extra fluid and drain it away to keep everything clean!

12/26/2021

Why We Need Tears
We tend to only think of tears when something makes us cry, whether we’re watching a touching or tragic movie or we’re laughing so hard that our eyes water.
However, tears are really the unsung heroes of eye health. They come in different types and there’s more to them than just water, so let’s take a closer look!

Tears Protect Our Eyes
All day, every day, our tears are protecting our eyes. The tear film is the barrier between the vulnerable surface of the eye and all kinds of germs, allergens, and irritants in the air. It is composed of three layers: a mucous layer that lies directly on the cornea, an aqueous layer that’s mostly made of saltwater, and an outer oily layer that keeps the other layers from evaporating.

These three layers work together to keep our eyes lubricated, clean, and free of harmful germs. With every blink, tears wash debris out of our eyes and help our vision stay clear and comfortable. That means that while we sleep, the gunk isn’t getting cleared out, which is why we have that grit in the corners of our eyes when we wake up.

Tear Production And Drainage
The tear film is constantly being refreshed so that it can do its job properly. Glands in our eyelids continuously produce new tears, and ducts in the inner corners of our eyes drain away excess tears down into our noses. So if you’ve ever wondered why crying makes your nose runny, now you know the answer!

Tears Help Us Feel Better
The tears in the aqueous layer of the tear film are basal tears, but when we cry, the tears come in two types: reflex tears and emotional tears. Like the tear film, these tears are good for us. Reflex tears are basically just an overflow of basal tears whenever our eyes need to flush something out, like when we get something in our eyes or when someone’s chopping onions in the same room.

Have you ever noticed that when you cry, even though the act of crying itself doesn’t change your situation, you still feel a little better afterwards? The reason for this is that emotional tears clear out some of the chemicals that build up due to stress. When we cry for emotional reasons, we’re purging harmful chemicals and triggering hormones to regulate pain, so make sure you’re indulging in a good cry every now and then!
