“Everyday Eye Care: Small Habits That Protect Your Vision”

👀 Introduction

Your eyes are working overtime from early morning emails to late-night scrolling. At OnSight Optometry, we believe your vision deserves daily care, not just annual exams. The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your life to keep your eyes in top shape. These simple, consistent habits can make a big difference in how well you see and how good you feel doing it.

🪞1. Follow the 20-20-20 Rule

If you spend hours in front of a screen, your eyes are likely feeling the strain. Combat fatigue with the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It gives your eyes a much-needed break and reduces long-term tension.

💧2. Stay Hydrated

It’s easy to forget that eye health is linked to overall hydration. Dry, irritated eyes are often a result of not drinking enough water especially if you work in air-conditioned environments. Keep a water bottle close and sip throughout the day to keep your eyes naturally moisturized.

🧴3. Wear Sunglasses with UV Protection

Don’t save your shades just for the beach. UV rays can damage your eyes year-round, even on cloudy days. Invest in a high-quality pair of sunglasses from OnSight Optometry that offers 100% UV protection style and safety in one sleek frame.

💻4. Adjust Your Screen Setup

The height and distance of your screen can impact how your eyes feel at the end of the day. Make sure your monitor is at eye level, about arm’s length away, and that your space is well-lit to avoid glare. Bonus tip: use blue-light filters or lenses for digital comfort.

🛌5. Don’t Skip Rest

Yes sleep is eye care. While you sleep, your eyes recover and replenish moisture. Lack of sleep can cause red, dry, or twitchy eyes. Prioritize 7–8 hours of rest to give your eyes the reset they need to perform at their best.

👓 Final Thoughts

Eye care doesn’t have to be complex or costly. These small, mindful steps can protect your vision and prevent issues before they start. And when you're ready to take it further, OnSight Optometry is here with personalized exams, precision lenses, and stylish frames to match every lifestyle.
