Cold outdoor air and heated indoor air often have less moisture in them than other environments. In the winter, you may experience dry skin, chapped lips, and dry eyes due to this low humidity .Keep yourself hydrated and increase your intake of omega-3s or run a humidifier in your home to improve the quality of your indoor air.
Today is the first official day of winter! Only 89 days until SPRING!
If your vision seems more blurry than usual or you find yourself having frequent headaches, it might be time to schedule an eye exam and get a new pair of glasses!
Using a humidifier is one of the best things you can do for dry eyes during the winter months.
Hmm... we didn’t even think of doing this! 🤣 🤣
If you see this on Amazon or advertised on Instagram, DO NOT BUY IT. It’s a total scam and will not work.
(This is just a public health warning from your friendly neighborhood Optometrist 😀)

Choroidal melanoma, which forms in the back of the eye, can only be detected during a comprehensive eye examination. The average five-year survival rate for people with a small choroidal melanoma is 84%, and it decreases to 47% for people with a large choroidal melanoma. Getting regular eye examinations is so incredibly important, because without an eye exam you wouldn’t even know if you have one. #optometry #ophthalmology #optometrist #retina #cancer #melanoma #cancerprevention #eyeexam #millrunvision

Unfortunately, children with vision problems often don’t complain about their eyes, and so digital eye strain symptoms can go unnoticed. Schedule an eye exam today — especially if your child is rubbing their eyes, squinting, excessively blinking, or experiencing any other primary digital eye strain symptoms.

February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness month. To help reduce your risk, schedule regular comprehensive eye exams, wear sunglasses, and avoid smoking cigarettes. Contact us today to schedule your comprehensive eye exam!
Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD), is a medical condition which may result in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. Causes and risk factors include...
Aging: Approximately 10% of patients 66 to 74 years of age will have findings of Macular Degeneration. The prevalence increases to 30% in patients 75 to 85 years of age.
Smoking: Research shows that smoking doubles the risk of AMD.
Race: AMD is more common among Caucasians than among African-Americans or Hispanics/Latinos.
Genetics & Family history: The lifetime risk of developing late-stage Macular Degeneration is 50% for people who have a relative with the condition, versus 12% for people who do not have relatives with the condition.

Symptoms of digital eye strain, also referred to as computer #vision syndrome, include tired, burning or itching eyes, dry eyes, blurred vision and/or headache. Here are a few tips to help reduce the effects:
• Place your screen 20 to 26 inches away from your eyes and a little bit below eye level.
• Change your lighting to lower glare and harsh reflections.
• Get a chair you can adjust.
• Computer glasses with yellow-tinted lenses that block blue light can help ease #digitaleyestrain
• Anti-reflective lenses reduce glare and increase contrast and also block blue light from digital devices.
• Take frequent breaks by using the “20-20-20” rule
The blue light that comes from digital screens like the ones on your phone and computer can make it harder to fall asleep and get quality rest when you do. It's a good idea to put away these devices about half an hour before going to bed to avoid this. #bluelight #eyehealth
We hope you're enjoying the first day of spring!
