Proper eyelid hygiene is an important part of your daily routine. Yes, you read that right. Cleaning your eyelids is a critical part of maintaining eye and vision health and comfort, while minimizing infection risk. You should be cleaning and massaging your eyelids each day!

What is a Stye?
A stye (or hordeolum) is a pimple-like infection within one or both eyelids, near the eyelash line. This infection is very commonly found in children, as well as adults.
What Are the Symptoms of a Stye?
Stye symptoms may include the presence of a small, swollen, reddish-colored lump or bump which may grow rapidly. There may also be redness of the eye, localized swelling, and pain.
Digital eye strain, also known as Computer Vision Syndrome, is becoming a serious and widespread issue. These terms refer to a troubling set of symptoms caused by viewing computer, smartphone, tablet, television, e-book, and digital device screens for extended periods of time.
When it is necessary to wear eyeglasses with a face mask, an extremely common problem always seems to rear its head. Countless hours have been spent by many in pursuit of a solution. The frustrating issue of dealing with vision obscured by fogged up glasses can make it impossible to resist removing either the glasses needed to see properly, or the mask. Whether attempting to walk across a road, drive a vehicle, operate power tools, or perform any other potentially dangerous activity, it is unwise to do it without your vision correction eyewear or prescription safety glasses, or protective goggles in place. So, what can be done?

Mankind’s ability to improve eyesight has come a long way! Today, DaVinci’s idea of placing the head in a bowl of water makes us gasp. Descartes’ plan of viewing the world through a fluid-filled tube tightly held against the cornea sounds torturous. By 1888, when the first practical hard scleral contact lens was fitted by a Swiss doctor named Adolf Fick, it successfully corrected vision, but it was heavy, cumbersome, and covered the entire front of the eye. Worst of all, the lens deprived the eye of oxygen. This led to severe pain within hours of application – ouch!
The best contact lenses for you will depend on several factors. These include your specific vision correction requirements, as well as any eye-related conditions you may have, the type of work you do, your activities and hobbies, and the performance you would like to achieve. At Wise Eyes Optical, we sell only quality contact lenses. When you shop with us to fill your 2022 vision prescription, you can rest assured that you’ll always get the best contact lenses.

Preservatives are present in many products we use every day – including eye drops. They help protect freshness, increase usable shelf life, and minimize bacterial, fungal, and amoebal contamination in multi-use products. It is important to understand that when it comes to eye drops, preservatives can pose significant harm to the health of your eyes as well as your vision.
