This includes eye exams, allowances for glasses, and specialty lenses. As the deadline approaches, appointments fill up quickly, so give us a call to book an appointment today. Clear vision is the perfect New Year’s resolution!

Spending hours on your phone or computer? Your eyes may be working overtime! About two-thirds of people experience digital eye strain symptoms. Here are some tips to protect your eyes from digital fatigue!
1. 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 20-20-20 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
2. 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀. Adjust your screen brightness to match your environment. Increasing text size and contrast can also reduce eye strain.
3. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. Blue light filtering glasses or screen settings may help reduce the amount of high-energy visible (HEV) blue light reaching your eyes, particularly during evening screen use.
4. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗳 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱. If you experience dry eyes, consult your optometrist about using lubricating eye drops to maintain moisture and comfort during screen use.
5. 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀. In addition to the 20-20-20 rule, take longer breaks every hour by stepping away from screens altogether.
