Your daily walk may be doing more for your eyes than you realize 👀🚶‍♀️

This Healthy Vision Month, we’re highlighting one simple habit that can support overall eye health: walking. Regular movement may help lower eye pressure, improve blood flow to the optic nerve, reduce stress, and even give your eyes a break from screen fatigue.

Small healthy habits can make a big impact over time 💚

How are you moving for your vision this month?

Did you know your eye pressure isn’t the same all day?

Dr. Barbara Wirostko, GRF Ambassador and Chief Medical Advisor of MyEyes, explains how intraocular pressure (IOP) naturally fluctuates throughout the day—shifting with daily activities, body position, and even sleep.

That’s why a single reading in the clinic may not tell the full story. Understanding these fluctuations can help guide more personalized care and better protect your vision over time.

Meet Leo — a brave 13-year-old from New Zealand living with congenital glaucoma. Since birth, Leo has undergone more than 50 eye surgeries and countless hospital visits, all while continuing to show incredible strength, positivity, and resilience.

Now, Leo and his family are fundraising to travel to the 2026 Glaucoma Patient Summit — a place where patients and families from around the world come together to learn, connect, and find hope through education, advocacy, and community.

Leo has already become a powerful advocate in his own community, helping classmates understand what living with glaucoma is really like through awareness presentations and vision simulation activities.

We’re inspired by Leo’s courage and determination, and we hope our community can help support his journey to the Summit. 💚

🥗 Recipe Wednesday: Eat for Your Eyes
This roasted butternut squash salad is as nourishing as it is delicious ✨ Packed with leafy greens, crunchy pecans, tart cranberries, and creamy goat cheese, it’s a colorful way to support your eye health.

Here's how to make it:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, toss the butternut squash with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the agave nectar, and 1 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake until tender and golden, 20 to 25 minutes, tossing after 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Assemble the baby greens, cranberries, pecans, and goat cheese in a salad bowl. Top with the butternut squash. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, vinegar, mustard, chives, ¼ teaspoon salt, and extra pepper into a vinaigrette and toss with the salad. Serve immediately.

What is intraocular pressure—and why does it matter?

Dr. Barbara Wirostko, GRF Ambassador and Chief Medical Advisor of MyEyes, breaks it down: intraocular pressure (IOP) is the pressure inside your eye—and it’s the only modifiable risk factor we can target in glaucoma care.

That means lowering and monitoring IOP is key to slowing disease progression and protecting your vision over time.

Because when we focus on what we can control, we give patients the best chance at preserving sight.
