College students juggle busy schedules, late-night study sessions, and hours of screen time, and their eyes feel it.

Here are 2 very simple habits that help make a HUGE difference as you tackle homework and finals!

👁 Take screen breaks
Staring at digital devices makes you blink less, which can lead to dryness and blurry vision. Try the AAO’s 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

👓 Keep contacts clean
Good hygiene prevents serious eye infections. Never sleep in contacts unless your doctor says it’s safe, and replace your case regularly.

String lights, pine needles, glitter, and ornaments… great for decorating, not always so great for your eyes. 👀

As you get your home holiday-ready, here are a few simple ways to keep your eyes safe:
✨ Keep sharp branches and ornaments away from your face
✨ Be cautious with loose glitter or flocking (it can easily irritate your eyes)
✨ Use shatter-resistant ornaments if you have little ones around
✨ Take your time with ladders and step stools; poor lighting can make hazards harder to see

A little awareness goes a long way toward a safe (and festive!) holiday season. 🎄

Long flights and road trips can dry out more than your skin, they can take a toll on your eyes, too.

Here are a few easy ways to keep your vision comfortable while traveling:
1️⃣ Pack lubricating eye drops — cabin air and car vents can cause dryness.
2️⃣ Stay hydrated (your eyes need water, too!).
3️⃣ Take screen breaks — scrolling or watching movies nonstop can cause strain.
4️⃣ Don’t forget sunglasses — UV rays can still be strong through car or airplane windows.

If your eyes feel irritated or gritty after travel, artificial tears or a humidifier at home can help.

Eating the right foods can protect your vision and keep you healthy. Research says that foods rich in vitamins C and E, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids are linked to lower risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract and perhaps even dry eye later in life!

Your eyes age, too. Here’s how to protect them through every decade:

As you get older, your eyes go through natural changes, but regular checkups and small daily habits can help you see clearly for years to come:

👓 40s: Reading fine print starts feeling harder. Good lighting and routine exams make a big difference.
🌙 50s: Watch for dry eyes and night vision changes; these are common and treatable.
🩵 60s+: Stay alert for cataracts or age-related eye diseases. Early detection keeps vision strong!

Good vision doesn’t have an age limit. It just takes a little care along the way.
