Wearing your contacts even just one day longer than recommended can actually starve your eyes of oxygen — leading to painful inflammation, irritation, or even permanent scarring.
Contacts are designed to be worn for exactly the number of days prescribed. After that, their surface begins to break down, trapping bacteria and reducing oxygen flow to the eye.
🚫 “Just one more day” is never worth the risk.
✅ Stick to your replacement schedule — 2 weeks means 2 weeks, 30 days means 30 days.
✅ If you’re struggling to keep track, daily disposable lenses may be a safer option.
Your vision is too important to gamble with — healthy habits today protect your eyes for life.

Did you know that spending time outdoors can help reduce your child’s risk of developing nearsightedness (myopia)?
Getting kids outside to play isn’t just great for their bodies—it’s essential for their eyes, too! Natural light helps the eyes develop properly and can slow the progression of myopia, which is on the rise in children across the country.
🏃♀️ Kick a ball
🚲 Ride a bike
🪁 Fly a kite
🌿 Just be outside!
Encourage daily outdoor time—your child’s eyes will thank you.

Wearing contact lenses? 🫣 Don’t skip these safety tips!
Improper use can lead to irritation, infections, or even long-term damage. Here's how to keep your eyes safe and healthy:
👁️ Wash and dry your hands before touching your lenses
🧴 Use only fresh contact lens solution — never water or saliva (yes, we’ve heard it all 😅)
💤 Don’t sleep in your lenses unless your optometrist says it’s safe
📅 Replace your lenses on schedule — even if they still feel fine, don’t stretch it
🧼 If you use a case, clean it regularly and replace it every 3 months
💡Pro Tip: If your eyes are red, painful, or blurry—take your lenses out and call us.
Healthy habits = happy eyes! 💙

✅ Wipe dry with a clean microfiber cloth
✅ Store your glasses in a case to protect them
❌ Skip the paper towels, tissues, and shirt sleeves – they scratch!
