Everyday eye care tips

Good eye habits will not replace an exam, but they protect comfort day to day, especially in dusty cities and sunny outdoor life.

Everyday habits that help

• Wear sunglasses with real UV protection outdoors, not only fashion lenses
• Wash hands before touching eyes or contact lenses
• Take screen breaks and blink on purpose during long meetings
• Keep prescriptions current and store glasses in a hard case
• Eat a varied diet and stay hydrated; dryness often worsens when you are dehydrated

Harmattan and AC

Dry air and dust can aggravate the tear film. Lubricating drops recommended by your clinician, plus avoiding direct AC blast to the face, often help. Seek care if redness, pain, or light sensitivity appears.
