Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July weekend!

Updated Memorial Day Weekend hours. Hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend!

We humans only have 1 lens—could you imagine what it would be like to have 30,000 lenses?! Dragonflies can also see in all directions at the same time except for 1 blind spot directly behind them. Their eyes take up the majority of their head and are hypersensitive to light. Moreover, they can also see colors that we humans can’t even fathom!

Back in the day, we only had to worry about 1 screen—the TV screen. Nowadays, we are surrounded with screens! Staring at digital devices prevents us from blinking regularly, making us more prone to developing dry eye disease. Moreover, spending too much time staring at screens can lead to digital eye strain. By wearing anti-reflective lenses and blue light glasses you can relieve much of the discomfort. Another tip is to keep digital devices at arm's length, reduce overhead and device lighting, and take frequent breaks.

Water can cause soft contact lenses to change shape, swell, and stick to the eye. It can make wearing contacts uncomfortable and even scratch the cornea, making it easier for germs to enter the eye and potentially cause an infection.

“A mother's love liberates.” - Maya Angelou

Just as with eating healthy and exercising—taking care of your eyes should be a priority! To keep your eyes healthy, be sure to get a comprehensive eye exam on a regular basis. It's the most effective way to find out whether you need glasses or contacts or if your prescription has changed. It can also be life-changing, as it can detect the early stages of sight-robbing eye diseases. Celebrate Healthy Vision Month by booking an eye exam for yourself and your family today!

FALSE! Some people have had blurred vision for a long time without realizing it. Once they get glasses and start seeing clearly they realize that having poor vision isn’t cutting it! When their glasses come off, it may seem like their vision has gotten worse. In reality, it only appears worse because they now know what it’s like to see clearly.

Contact lenses don?t normally cause eye allergies, but they can sometimes exacerbate symptoms. They can also attract or cling to tiny particles of dust or pollen, which may trigger an allergic response. Avoid wearing them during allergy season to minimize discomfort if you are susceptible to eye allergies. Make sure to schedule your eye exam with Vibe Optometry this allergy season to keep your eyes feeling fresh and healthy.

Happy Easter to our egg-cellent patients!

Handling lenses with dirty hands is a common contact lens mistake. When handling contact lenses, remember to wash your hands with soap and water beforehand, as any bacteria that comes into contact with the eye and contact lenses can lead to an eye infection.

Did you know that more women suffer from visual impairments than men? In part, this is because women tend to live longer than men. Some visual impairments are also due to hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause. An annual eye exam is not only beneficial for your vision but for your overall health as well, as it can detect many ocular and physical conditions, like diabetes, high cholesterol, among others. Haven't had your eye exam this year? Get in touch to book yours today!

Always wear a protective pair of sunglasses when outdoors, not only for UV protection, but also to shield the eyes from irritating allergens that float in the wind. For more information on how to deal with eye allergies this spring, schedule your eye exam at Vibe Optometry.

It has been said, food that resembles body parts are usually beneficial to that said part. A carrot for example, when cut in half, it looks a lot like the eye! Carrots are filled with beta-carotene which converts into vitamin A and helps maintain healthy vision by strengthening the cornea. So go ahead and eat those carrots!

Avoiding allergens is the best way to make sure your eyes stay safe and comfortable. If you suffer from eye allergies, but find it difficult to stay inside and avoid all of the pollen that?s drifting in the wind, we can help. Schedule your eye exam with Vibe Optometry for effective and long-lasting eye allergy treatment.
