Eye Health Fact of the Week

Fact: You blink about 15–20 times per minute.

Did you know that blinking is essential for keeping your eyes comfortable and healthy?

Every time you blink, a fresh layer of tears spreads across the surface of your eyes. This tear film helps:

✔ Keep your eyes moist
✔ Wash away dust and debris
✔ Provide clear, comfortable vision
✔ Protect the front surface of the eye

The Problem with Screens

When we use computers, phones, or tablets, our blink rate often decreases significantly. We may also blink incompletely, meaning the eyelids don't fully close.

As a result:

✔ Tears evaporate more quickly
✔ Eyes can become dry and irritated
✔ Vision may fluctuate or become blurry
✔ Burning, stinging, or a gritty sensation may develop

Did you know that swimming with contact lenses can increase the risk of eye irritation and infection?

Why it matters:

1) Water carries micro-organisms

Pools, lakes, oceans, and hot tubs can contain bacteria, fungi, and amoebae such as Acanthamoeba. Contact lenses can trap these organisms inside the eye, increasing the risk of painful and potentially sight-threatening infections.

2) Lenses absorb water

Soft contact lenses can absorb water and chemicals like chlorine, which may cause irritation, dryness, redness, or blurry vision.

3) Reduced oxygen and irritation

Water exposure can disrupt the lens fit and reduce oxygen reaching the cornea, making your eyes more vulnerable to irritation and infection.

We're halfway through the year! Is your eye exam up to date?

Summer is a great time to schedule your annual visit and keep your vision on track. Eye strain doesn't take a summer vacation. In addition, the sun can expose your eyes to increased UV rays.

An eye exam can help identify vision issues contributing to tired, uncomfortable eyes.

From beach days to road trips, clear vision helps you enjoy every moment. Make the most of your summer activities by making sure your eyes are performing at their best.

Schedule your annual eye exam and start summer seeing clearly.

Eye disease has no age requirement.

The most common reason people delay eye exams is because they can still see well out of their glasses or contact lenses.

You can have an eye disease and still see 20/20.

Yearly eye exams are important.

Is your child's vision ready for the school year?
