💧 Wellness Wednesday Tip: Stay Hydrated for Healthy Eyes

Water isn’t just good for your body—it’s essential for your eyes, too! Dehydration can cause dryness, irritation, and even blurry vision. Staying hydrated helps your eyes produce tears and stay comfortable all day long.

💡 Tip: Aim for about 8 glasses of water daily, and keep a water bottle handy as a simple reminder to sip often.

If dryness continues even with good hydration, our team can help with personalized treatment options.

🧴 Wellness Wednesday: Time for a Cleanout?
Mascara, eye drops, and even contact lens cases don’t last forever—and using expired or contaminated products around your eyes can lead to irritation or infection.
💡 General rule of thumb: Toss mascara after 3 months and change contact cases every 1–3 months. Eye drops vary—preservative-free ones are single use, while others typically last up to 3 months after opening.

When in doubt, throw it out. Your eyes will thank you!
