Dry, itchy, or burning eyes? Over-the-counter lubricating eye drops can offer quick relief for mild symptoms caused by screen time, dry air, or allergies. 💧

However, if you find yourself relying on drops frequently or the discomfort doesn’t improve, it could be a sign of an underlying condition.

Color vision deficiency, commonly known as color blindness, affects around 8% of males and 0.5% of females. The most common type impacts red-green perception, making it difficult to distinguish between certain shades of red, green, and brown.

While color blindness is often inherited and lifelong, early detection through a comprehensive eye exam can help individuals adapt with tools like color-correcting lenses or visual aids—especially important for children in learning environments.

Your eyes have a built-in light control system, your pupils!

Just like a camera lens, they expand and shrink to let in just the right amount of light. But too much exposure to bright light or UV rays can strain this delicate system.

Wearing UV-protective sunglasses helps shield your eyes and keep your vision sharp, no matter how bright it gets.
