📱 Is blue light from screens harming your eyes?
With more screen time than ever, many worry about blue light exposure. While blue light won’t cause blindness, it can lead to digital eye strain, causing:

❌ Dry, irritated eyes
❌ Blurry vision
❌ Headaches
❌ Sleep disturbances

How to protect your eyes:
✅ Use blue light blocking glasses or filters.
✅ Adjust screen brightness & use night mode in the evening.
✅ Follow the 20-20-20 rule to rest your eyes.
✅ Get an eye exam to check for any vision-related stress.

When something happens in the blink of an eye, it’s really fast!

A single blink takes only 100–150 milliseconds!
When was your last eye exam?
If it’s been over a year, it’s time to schedule an appointment.

Staring at screens all day? Give your eyes a break!

Here are 3 quick eye exercises to reduce strain:

The 20-20-20 Rule:
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

Blink More:
Staring at screens reduces blinking by 50%, leading to dry eyes. Consciously blink more to keep your eyes moist.

Eye Rolling:
Slowly roll your eyes in a circular motion to relax eye muscles.
These simple exercises help reduce fatigue, dryness, and discomfort. Try them now and let us know if they help!

Digital screens increase eye strain and can lead to:
❌ Blurry vision
❌ Dry eyes

✔ Adjust your screen brightness to reduce glare.
✔ Keep your monitor at arm’s length & slightly below eye level.
✔ Use artificial tears if your eyes feel dry.

❌ Myth: Wearing glasses makes your eyes weaker over time.
✅ Fact: Glasses don’t weaken your eyesight—they simply help you see better!

Many people believe that once you start wearing glasses, your eyes become dependent on them, but that’s not true. Glasses don’t cause deterioration—they just correct existing vision issues.

Refusing to wear glasses when you need them will strain your eyes, leading to headaches and discomfort.

If your vision is blurry, it’s time for an eye check-up!

Diabetes can silently damage your vision.

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in adults, and it often has no early symptoms.

High blood sugar levels can cause:
Blurry vision
Dark spots or floaters
Vision loss

Early detection can prevent serious vision problems. If you have diabetes, don’t wait until symptoms appear.

Book your diabetic eye screening today!
