Summertime 🙌🏼
And the living is easy (and fun!) here at OO 🌤️
As we stay outside as much as we possibly can during these warm, sunshine-filled months, we want to share 3 of our best tips for keeping your eyes healthy, safe, and happy this steamy season 👏🏼
1️⃣ Wear wrap-around sunglasses with UV protection‼️ Not all sunglasses are created equal—look for lenses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Wraparound styles offer added protection from sunlight, wind, and airborne irritants like dust or sand.
2️⃣ Keep your eyes hydrated 🧊 Hot, dry summer air and air-conditioned environments can cause dry eye symptoms. Use preservative-free artificial tears if needed, and stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
3️⃣ Swim smart 💧 Avoid opening your eyes underwater in pools, lakes, or oceans—chlorine and bacteria can lead to irritation or infection. Consider wearing swim goggles to protect your eyes while still enjoying the water.
