July is UV Awareness Month, a great reminder that your eyes need sun protection too. ☀️

Long-term UV exposure can contribute to several eye health concerns, which is why quality sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat are important parts of your summer routine.

Whether you're spending the day in Calgary or heading out to the mountains, protect your vision every time you step outside.

Do your eyes feel completely fried by the end of the day? 🖥️

You aren't alone. Staring at digital screens actually causes us to blink 50% less, which is a recipe for instant dryness, fatigue, and irritation. July is Dry Eye Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to build healthier screen habits!

To give your eyes a much-needed break, try the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This simple habit helps reset your blink rate and coat your eyes in fresh tears.

If the 20-20-20 rule isn't enough, it might be time for a professional dry eye assessment. Our team can help find the root cause of your screen fatigue. Book your appointment online today!
