Now that face masks are part of our everyday wardrobe, you may notice your eyes getting a little dryer than usual. Here are some tips to keep that from happening:
- Wear a mask that fits snugly around your nose. This will ensure the moisture exits through the side of your mask and not above it.
- Try to blink more frequently.
- Ask us about lubricating eye drops.
Dry eye is a condition where the eye does not produce near enough tears to lubricate properly. Contact our office today to schedule a screening.

Wearing a fresh pair of lenses every day means there's no buildup of bacteria. Schedule a contact lens exam today!
