Do your eyes feel tired… even when you’ve done everything “right”?

You’re using drops
You’re taking breaks
You’re trying to stay hydrated

But your eyes still feel:
• Dry
• Heavy
• Irritated

Sometimes the issue isn’t just the surface—it’s how your eyes are functioning.

Dynamic Muscle Stimulation can help improve the way your eyes blink and recover throughout the day.

As parents, we think about helmets, pads, and mouthguards…

But what about their eyes?

👁️ Eye injuries in sports can happen in seconds—and some can permanently affect vision.

The good news?
They’re often 100% preventable.

Adding protective eyewear is one of the easiest ways to keep your child safe while they play the sports they love.

Staring at screens all day?

You’re probably blinking less than half as often—which can worsen dry eye symptoms.

Try the 20-20-20 rule:
👁️ Every 20 minutes
👁️ Look 20 feet away
👁️ For 20 seconds

Bonus tip: Blink fully (not just quick partial blinks)

Small habit. Big difference for your eyes.

Do your contact lenses feel uncomfortable by the end of the day?

Dry eye is one of the most common reasons contact lenses become difficult to wear.

Signs include:

• Contacts feeling dry
• Blurry vision in lenses
• Needing to remove lenses early
• Red or irritated eyes

Treating the underlying dry eye often makes contact lenses comfortable again.

If contacts are becoming harder to wear, we can help.

Did you know 30–60% of migraine attacks are triggered by light or glare?

Common triggers include:

💡 LED lighting
📱 Screen time
☀️ Bright sunlight
🚗 Driving glare

Avulux lenses help by filtering specific wavelengths of light that may worsen migraine symptoms.

Many patients use them as part of their migraine management toolkit alongside medical care.

If migraines affect your daily activities, ask us about Avulux lenses.

Blinking matters more than you think.

Every time you blink, your eyelids help:
• Spread your tear film evenly
• Activate oil glands (meibomian glands)
• Keep your eyes comfortable and protected

When those muscles weaken or don’t function properly, dry eye symptoms can worsen.

Dynamic Muscle Stimulation helps retrain and strengthen those muscles—so your eyes can work the way they’re supposed to.

Not all glasses are created equal 👀

Regular glasses are NOT designed for impact and can actually increase injury risk during sports.

✔️ Sports goggles = impact-resistant
✔️ Designed to stay in place
✔️ Safer for both kids and adults

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, thousands of eye injuries happen every year during sports—and many could be prevented.

Bottom line: If you (or your child) play sports, protection matters.

Using eye drops—but not getting relief?

You might be using the wrong kind.

🚫 “Redness relief” drops
✔️ Preservative-free artificial tears

Redness drops can actually worsen dryness over time.

If you’re using drops more than 2–3x/day, it’s time to switch (or get guidance).

🚨 Eye Drop Recall Alert 🚨

Several store-brand eye drops sold at major retailers like CVS, Walmart, Target, and Walgreens have been recalled due to potential sterility concerns.

👁️ What this means for you:
• The recall mainly affects store-brand (generic) drops
• Most name brands (like Refresh, Systane, Blink) are not included
• Not all eye drops are affected—but it’s worth checking

✔️ What to do:
• Look at the brand on your bottle
• If it’s a store brand and you’re unsure—don’t risk it, replace it
• If you’ve had redness, irritation, or changes in vision, get checked

We’re always here to help you choose safe, effective options for your eyes 🤍
