4 Tips to help your Eyes this Spring

1

"Why do my eyes water

so much in Spring?"

Many people experience red, itchy and watery eyes during Spring. This is due to the body's immune response to increased pollen and dust, ironically resulting in dry eye. Lubricating eye drops can relieve these symptoms and keep your eyes moisturised.

2

Sunglasses don't just keep the sun out of your eyes

Sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement since the sun comes along with the warmer spring weather. The increased time outdoors exposes you to more allergens and more of the sun’s harmful UV rays.

3

Ditch your contacts on windy days

If the wind is up, so too are irritants in the air. If you wear contact lenses, we suggest that you leave them at home on windy days and use glasses with protective lenses instead.

4

Book an appointment

If you experience persistent eye irritation, redness, or vision changes despite taking precautions, consult your Optometrist promptly. No one understands your eyes better. Schedule routine eye exams with your optometrist to monitor your eye health and address any concerns promptly.
