☀👁💧Tips to Manage Dry Eyes in Summer:☀👁💧
-Wear sunglasses (preferably wraparound) to shield your eyes from wind, sun, and allergens.
-Stay hydrated — drink more water throughout the day.
-Use artificial tears regularly, especially if you're in air-conditioned environments.
-Avoid direct air flow on your face from AC vents or fans.
-Apply warm compresses daily to help with oil gland function in your eyelids (which helps stabilize tears).
-Avoid rubbing your eyes—this can worsen irritation and dryness.
-Rinse eyes after swimming, or use preservative-free lubricating drops.

👁June is Cataract Awareness Month👁
A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye that obstructs the passage of light into the eye, causing blurry, cloudy, and decreased vision. Dry eyes can affect your cataract surgery in several important ways, both before and after the procedure. Be sure to talk with your doctor to learn how your dry eyes could affect your cataracts and your cataract surgery.
