It goes without saying that screens are a huge part of our lives in 2023. Whether you’re working from home, reading an online article, or scrolling your IG feed, your eyes could probably use a break.

To help alleviate digital eye strain, practice the 20–20–20 rule: After every 20 minutes spent looking at a screen, take a 20-second break to look at something about 20 feet away. Your eyes will thank you for it!

Have you heard about the total solar eclipse taking place on Monday, April 8? The best places to see the eclipse in New England will be New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.

No matter where you’re viewing from, you may be tempted to look directly at the sun. But before you do, there are important safety precautions you should be aware of to protect your eyes!

Except during the *very brief* total phase of a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s bright face, IT IS NOT SAFE to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Viewing any part of the bright Sun without a special-purpose solar filter will instantly cause severe eye injury.

To protect your eyes, you must look through safe solar viewing glasses (“eclipse glasses”) or a safe handheld solar viewer at all times. Eclipse glasses are NOT regular sunglasses; regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are not safe for viewing the Sun.

Do NOT look at the Sun through a camera lens, telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while wearing eclipse glasses or using a handheld solar viewer — the concentrated solar rays will burn through the filter and cause serious eye injury.

While aging is one risk factor for dry eye, dry eye disease can happen at any age. For children, dry eyes may happen as a result of allergies, eye infections, or prolonged screen time.

You can support your child’s eye health and help reduce their risk of dry eye by encouraging outdoor play and keeping them up-to-date for their regular eye exams!

We love hearing positive patient feedback and this Google review was no exception:

“What a great practice. The doctor was kind and happy to answer all of my questions. The front desk was patient and never made me feel pressured to purchase any of their products or services; while still informing me of all my options. I’ll gladly be back as this is the best experience I’ve ever had at an optometrist’s office.” - Jose M.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Jose! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

We always strive to provide a positive patient experience, but don’t just take our word for it, here’s what Brittany had to say about her recent visit to Kibo Eyecare:⁠

“I left My Eye Doctor in Rocky Hill to try Kibo for the first time and they were amazing. Friendly staff out front, during my eye test, and Dr. Cartwright was so knowledgeable and helpful with my dry eyes and new prescription. I usually order glasses from an online retailer but Lida was so helpful in choosing glasses, not pushy- and the best is they got my glasses done the same day! Highly recommend.” - Brittany

Thank you Brittany for your kind words!
