6 Tips to Protect Your Eyes this Fall
Check out these 6 Tips to Protect Your Eyes this Fall 🍂
Stop Rubbing Your Eyes - Bonfires, cold air, and Fall breezes can cause dry eyes. Avoid rubbing and use eye drops to keep your eyes moist.
Wear Eye Protection - When raking or blowing leaves, pieces of the plants can get into your eyes and cause eye infections. Wearing protective eyewear can keep them safe while doing yard work.
Eat for Your Eyes - Fall has a lot of great food and a lot of the season's fruits and vegetables like apples, cauliflower, pears, and squash are great for your eyes!
Avoid Non-Prescribed Contacts - Colored contacts are great for Halloween costumes, but if they aren't prescribed by a doctor, they won't fit your eyes or be germ-free. This can be both painful and cause eye infections.
Be Safe Playing Fall Sports - Back to School means back to sports. Regular eyeglasses won’t protect from eye injury and can possibly make it worse. Each sport has different levels of risk so make sure you’re using the right eye protection for the sport you're playing.
Talk To Your Eye Doctor - The best way to protect your eyes this Fall is to schedule an appointment with an eye doctor. At DePoe Eye Center, we’ll give thorough tests to ensure your eyes are healthy.
