Adults should have no more than 400 mg of caffeine—about 4 cups of coffee—and just 1–2 alcoholic drinks per day. Excessive caffeine and alcohol consumption can contribute to dehydration, which can affect your eyes.

Older adults, in particular, should moderate their intake of caffeinated and alcoholic beverages for their overall health, including their eye health. When you visit us for an eye exam, we can provide personalized nutritional advice based on your needs.

Dry eyes can make contact lens wear feel less enjoyable, but there are simple steps to manage comfort. 😊

Lenses designed for dry eyes, such as silicone hydrogel, let more oxygen reach your cornea and can improve how you feel. 👓 Meanwhile, lubricating drops made specifically for contact lens wearers provide extra moisture throughout the day.

Give your eyes a break by removing your lenses when possible and keep your hydration up by drinking water regularly. 💧
