😎 Your Eyes Can Get Sunburned! ☀️👁️
It’s called photokeratitis — a painful sunburn of the eye caused by too much UV exposure.

Symptoms:
🔹 Red, watery eyes
🔹 Light sensitivity
🔹 Gritty feeling
🔹 Blurred vision

Protect Your Eyes:
🕶️ Wear UV-blocking sunglasses
👒 Use a wide-brimmed hat
❄️ Be cautious around snow, sand, & water — they reflect UV!

🕶️ TINTED LENSES 101 🕶️
Not all sunglasses are created equal. The color of your lens isn’t just about looks—it impacts how you see the world. 🌎✨
Here’s your quick guide to common tinted lenses & what they’re best for:

🔘 Gray – True color perception. Perfect for everyday use.
🔘 Brown/Amber – Boosts contrast & depth. Great for driving & outdoor sports.
🔘 Green – Reduces glare while maintaining natural color. Classic & versatile.
🔘 Yellow/Gold – Enhances contrast in low light. Ideal for dusk, dawn, or cloudy days.
🔘 Blue/Purple – Fashion-forward with some glare reduction. Best for style over function.
🔘 Rose/Red – High contrast and depth perception. Helps reduce eye strain—great for screen time or snow sports.

✨ Style meets function—choose your lens to match your lifestyle.

🌀 Wacky Wednesday 🌀
Did you know? 🤯
The average lifespan of an eyelash is about 5 months! 👁️✨

That’s right — your lashes go through a growth cycle just like the hair on your head. They grow, rest, and eventually fall out to make way for new ones. The whole process takes around 4 to 11 months, but each individual lash tends to live for about 3 to 5 months before shedding naturally.

So next time one falls out, don’t worry — it’s just nature doing its thing. 😉

👁️✨ Wearing Contacts? Read This!

Overwearing your contact lenses might seem harmless—but it can seriously harm your eyes. 😣

👎 Infections
👎 Corneal abrasions
👎 Even long-term vision impairment

Your eyes deserve better. 🧼 Always follow the recommended wear time and practice proper hygiene. Your future self (and your vision!) will thank you. 💙

✅ Remove them on time
✅ Clean them properly
✅ Give your eyes a break

Did you know?
🔹 The human eye can distinguish up to 10 million different colors!
That’s right — thanks to specialized cells in your retina called cones, your brain can interpret a vast and vibrant spectrum of color. We have three types of cones, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light (red, green, and blue), and together they help us see an incredible range of hues.

🔹 The cornea — the eye’s outermost layer — has no blood vessels!
Unlike most tissues in the body, the cornea gets oxygen directly from the air and nutrients from tears and the fluid inside the eye. This is part of what keeps your vision clear and sharp.

👁️✨ Your eyes are an incredible fusion of biology and precision — nature’s own optical masterpiece.
