Many people grew up hearing that sitting too close to the TV is bad for your eyes.

Although it can cause eye strain, it won't permanently damage your vision.

If you or your child often sit very close to the TV, an eye exam can help make sure everything is working as it should.

Most people know screens before bed affect their sleep.

Poor sleep has a direct impact on your eyes too.

During deep sleep, your eyes are continuously lubricated and repaired. Consistently cutting that short can contribute to dryness, irritation, light sensitivity, and even blurred vision the next day.

That hour before bed without a screen? Your eyes benefit just as much as your brain does.

Your lenses and frames can be damaged by heat, friction and pressure, often without you realising it.

Simple habits make them last longer:

✔ Use a proper lens cloth
✔ Store them in a hard case
✔ Keep them away from heat
✔ Remove before naps

A little care goes a long way.

Headaches after screen use are worth paying attention to.

Common triggers:
• Long periods of close focus
• Reduced blinking
• Glare or harsh brightness
• Incorrect or outdated prescriptions

Simple habits that help:
• Follow the 20-20-20 rule
• Adjust brightness to match your room
• Keep screens about an arm’s length away

If headaches persists, we can help you find the cause, and the right solution.

Are your arms getting shorter… or is it presbyopia?

If you’re holding your phone further away, struggling with small print, or needing brighter light to read, it’s probably not your arms.

Presbyopia is a natural age-related change that affects your ability to focus on near objects.

It usually starts in your 40s and gradually becomes more noticeable over time.

The good news?

It’s completely manageable with the right lenses. A comprehensive eye exam can confirm what’s happening and help you see comfortably again — near and far.
