How Well Do Your Glasses Flatter Your Face?

The Purpose of Blinking

We blink multiple times every minute, but do you know why it’s so important? Time yourself for a minute and see how many times you blink. The average for adults is between ten and twenty times per minute, with each blink lasting a tenth of a second. Blinking Cleans and Refreshes Our Eyes Every ...

The Eyes-Headaches Connection

Uncorrected vision problems can lead to symptoms you might not expect, like frequent headaches. If you deal with a lot of headaches, scheduling an eye exam would be well worth your time, even if only to rule a vision problem out as a cause. Headaches aren’t always tied to vision and every visio...

Tanning Beds: Not Great for Eye Health

Glasses Care and Contact Lens Safety

Statistically, the first thing we notice about a person when we meet them is their eye color. An interesting pair of eyes can make a lasting impression, but the most unforgettable are probably the ones that don’t match. The scientific term for mismatched eye colors is heterochromia. It’s fair...

Do Our Eyes Need Protection From Blue Light?

How much of your nightly routine is lit up by a bright screen? For at least as long as we’ve had handheld devices connecting us to the internet, many of us have been online with our eyes glued to a screen late into the night. This is not an optometrist-approved bedtime ritual. Our screens emit ...
