Springtime Tips for Healthy Eyes (KFM Spring Issue)
SPRING IS HERE!
The birds are singing and flowers are blooming. This also means the sun
is getting stronger and it is a peak season for allergies. Here are a few tips to keep your eyes healthy as we enter this season:
Wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection to shield your eyes against those UV rays. Remember sunglasses for children, too, as their eyes are much more receptive to UV rays.
Wash your hands and face after being exposed to known allergens to reduce allergy symptoms.
Avoid rubbing your eyes, and instead use artificial tears to keep your eyes moisturized and rinse out allergens.
Daily disposable contact lenses are recommended for contact lens wearers to reduce the build up of allergens on the contact lens.
