Eyes feeling tired? Lesley sheds light on why we feel eye strain and headaches. Try the 20‑20‑20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Blink often, keep your screen an arm’s length away, and adjust brightness for less strain.
Routine eye tests and a healthy lifestyle can help keep your eyes in good condition. Lesley, our Low Vision Clinic optometrist, reminds us how important eating a balanced diet is to eye health. #eyeweek
Age, prolonged screen use, menopause and contact lens wear can all increase the risk of dry eye. Regular blinking, screen breaks and professional eye care can help manage symptoms. Our optometrist Lesley shares ways you can manage this from diet to surroundings. #eyeweek
