✨ “Small habits today can help support healthy vision tomorrow.”

Your eyes work all day—give them a little care every day. 💙

👀 1. Follow the 20-20-20 Rule
Every 20 minutes, look about 20 feet away for 20 seconds to help reduce digital eye strain.

💧 2. Blink Often
Screen use can reduce blinking. Remember to blink naturally to keep your eyes comfortable and moist.

🕶️ 3. Protect Your Eyes from UV
Choose sunglasses that block 99–100% UVA & UVB rays when outdoors.

🥕 4. Eat for Your Eyes
Include colorful foods like leafy greens, carrots, oranges, berries, eggs, nuts, and oily fish.

💦 5. Stay Hydrated
Adequate fluids support normal tear production and eye comfort.

😴 6. Give Your Eyes Rest
Aim for enough quality sleep each night so your eyes and body can recover.

👩‍⚕️ 7. Get Regular Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye exams can detect vision changes and some eye conditions before you notice symptoms.

💚 Remember: You only get one pair of eyes—make eye care part of your everyday routine.

📌 SAVE this as your daily eye-care checklist.

Early detection is key to protecting your sight.

Precision matters, in baseball and for your eyes.​

When the front surface of your eye, called the cornea, is evenly round like a baseball, light focuses at the same point in your eye, causing clear vision. When it has two different curvatures like a football, light focuses at two different points, and vision can appear blurry or distorted. That difference in curvature is called astigmatism.​

The good news: it's common and treatable. A comprehensive eye exam can diagnose it and recommend the right treatment.
