You may be surprised to hear this-- and it is something to remember! If any chemical, like a household cleaning supply, gets into your eye, avoid general eye drops to help soothe. Instead, use lukewarm tap water or contact lens saline rinse, and don't hesitate to seek emergency medical assistance!
Carrots give you amazing eyesight, especially at night. Fact or Fiction? This idea was planted during WWII and it is true-- to a certain extent. While carrots are filled with vitamins and antioxidants to help you #maintain eyesight they do not actually #improve your vision or help you see in the dark. Eat them anyway!

Fast forward to 1958 when Otto, a chemist, developed the first soft lens and granted all the details to Bausch and Lomb in 1960. And the rest... is history. #InventorsDay

The human eye can see millions… and millions and millions of colors. Some colors can be soothing while others are just irritating to your eyes and to your ambiance. If bright yellow bothers you, you are not alone. It is one of the most light-reflecting colors which results in stimulation of the eyes. #Tip: If you're decorating a baby's room and want to go with yellow on the walls, you might benefit from using a pale shade. Some say little ones cry more in bright yellow rooms!
