Make it all about showing your eyes some love with our self-care guide:
Take a Screen Time Break
Remember the 20-20-20: For every 20 minutes you’re on your phone or computer, take at least a 20-second break, looking 20-feet in the distance.
- Sport Those Sunnies
No matter the weather, protect your specks from UVA and UVB rays whenever your outside. UV light can cause macular degeneration, cataracts, pterygium, skin cancer, and photokeratitis. So, make sure to wear proper eye protection whenever you’re outdoors.
- Eat Your Fruits and Veggies
Getting your daily serving of fruits and vegetables keeps your eyes healthy.
- Eye Hygiene is Key
Washing your face properly, as well as, regularly cleaning your contacts and following the recommended wear schedule, will help your eyes stay clear and feelin’ the love.
