We all get lost scrolling on our phones, but it is important that you take breaks to protect your eyes. πŸ‘€ We recommend that you follow the 20-20-20 rule. That means that after every 20 minutes you spend looking at a screen, you should take 20 seconds to look 20 feet away (and blink!). πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈ

Your eyes will thank you! πŸ‘οΈ

Let's talk workplace eye injury prevention. Workplace safety should always be a priority. πŸ€“ A few ways you can protect your eyes at work include wearing protective eyewear (when applicable), washing your hands regularly and avoiding touching your eyes, blinking often, and taking screen breaks if you have a computer job.

Do your frames fit you properly? πŸ€”πŸ‘“ We use Do your frames fit you properly? πŸ€”πŸ‘“

We use the three-point touch rule to ensure a good fit! That means that the frames should touch your nose, the top of your right ear, and the top of your left ear. 

Comfort is also key! If you feel like your frames are so small that they seem to push into your face, or so big that they seem to protrude, your glasses are probably not the right fit. 

Your glasses should fit firmly, yet smoothly & comfortably on your nose (with no rubbing or irritation) and the bridge should be able to hold the glasses in place without you having to push them back up. 

In this clip, you can see Sarah adjusting some frames for one of our patients! πŸ€—πŸ‘“

If your frames need to be adjusted, please contact us today to schedule an appointment! ☺️
