Our eyes play a vital role in our lives as they help us see, maintain balance, and stay clear of potential harm. They also happen to be one of the most sensitive parts of our bodies and therefore need to be cared for regularly to ensure they function correctly. However, many individuals are unaware of the best ways to properly maintain and care for their eyes and vision, and it often leads to assumptions and mistakes that cost them health-wise and financially.

When wearing glasses regularly, it’s not uncommon for them to break at some point due to rough use or accidents. For example, you might step on them, sit on them, they might have fallen on the floor, or if they are old and worn, they may become more brittle, and even normal wear-and-tear can cause them to become severely bent out of shape, crack or even snap or break. No matter how the damage may have happened, once your glasses become severely bent or broken, it can render them unwearable, which means you either need to get them repaired if possible or replaced.

When looking for a new optometrist, knowing which one suits you the best can be challenging, especially if you live in an area with several options to choose from. Of course, just like you would do when choosing any provider of medical or other services, the optometrist you choose is ultimately a personal decision. However, there are some factors you should keep in mind to ensure that your eye health and vision care needs are met.

Did you know that tears are not just the body’s way of conveying happy or sad emotions? Tears actually play a part in protecting your eyes and providing clear vision. They produce lubrication to allow for the smooth and comfortable movement of and interaction between the eyeballs and the eyelids. If your tears evaporate or dry up too quickly or if your eyes produce fewer tears than necessary, you could experience dry eye. This is a condition where the surface of either one or both eyes dry out, causing friction between the eyelids and eyeballs and causes some “break-down” in the surface layers of the eyes, leading to discomfort when blinking or leaving the eye open.
