😴 Thinking of dozing off with your contacts in?

Don't risk it. Even a short nap can reduce oxygen to your eyes, making them feel dry, irritated, and more prone to infection.

💡If you know you’ll be napping, take your lenses out first. Your eyes will feel fresher and healthier when you wake up.

👉 Protect your vision even during a quick snooze.

👓 How to Choose the Perfect Frame for Your Face

Finding the right pair of glasses isn’t just about seeing better, it’s about feeling confident too.

Here are some quick tips to match frames to your face shape:

🔹 Round face → Go for angular frames to add definition.
🔹 Square face → Round or oval frames soften strong angles.
🔹 Oval face → Lucky you, most frame styles will suit you!
🔹 Heart-shaped face → Lighter, rounded frames balance a wider forehead.

Your frames should also match your personality and lifestyle. Whether you want bold, subtle, professional, or playful, we’ll help you find the perfect pair.

👁️💧 What can happen if I use expired eye drops?

Using expired eye drops can be risky:

🔹 They may lose effectiveness, so they won’t relieve your symptoms properly
🔹 Bacteria can grow in the solution, increasing the risk of eye infections
🔹 You could experience irritation, redness, or discomfort

✅ Always check the expiry date before use
✅ Follow the 28-day rule after opening most drops
✅ When in doubt, replace them. It’s safer for your eyes

Your eyes deserve safe, effective care. Don’t take chances with expired products!

Can Hay Fever Affect Eyesight? 🌼👁️

Yes, hay fever can do more than make your eyes itchy, watery and sensitive to light.

It can also directly impact vision, including:

🔹 Blurred vision: Inflammation and swelling can make things look fuzzy
🔹 Double vision: Allergies can affect eye muscles
🔹 Eye fatigue: Rubbing and itching causes strain
🔹 Decreased visual acuity: In severe cases, temporary vision problems may occur

These effects can make everyday tasks like reading, working, or driving more difficult.

✨ Protect your eyes this allergy season with eye drops and sunglasses. Avoid rubbing your eyes because it only makes symptoms worse.

If symptoms persist, book an appointment with us for professional advice.

Can Fake Eyelashes Worsen Dry Eyes?

Long, full lashes are beautiful ✨ but did you know that eyelash extensions can contribute to dry, irritated eyes?

Here’s why:

🔷The glue can release fumes that irritate your eyes
🔷The added weight may reduce airflow around your eyes
🔷Heavy lashes can alter your natural blink rate and less blinking worsen dry eyes

Tips for Maintaining Eye Health While Using Eyelash Extensions:

✔️ Choose a reputable salon with safe products
✔️ Avoid extensions that are too heavy or long
✔️ Keep your eyelids and lashes clean to prevent irritation

Fake lashes shouldn’t come at the cost of your eye comfort. If irritation persists, book an eye exam with us to keep your eyes healthy and your vision clear. 👁️💖
