Head Positioning After Retina Surgery: A Key to Optimal Recovery after retina surgery
Quick overview of head positions after retina surgery

 	Prone Positioning: Lie on your stomach using a prone pillow for the most comfortable and effective prone position, keeping the head straight.
 	Semi - Prone Sitting: Sit on bed or chair with your forehead supported by folded arms on a table.
 	Head-End Raised Positioning: Raising your head with two pillows can help maintain the right positioning for recovery.

 	Follow your retina specialist’s personalized advice regarding the duration and specific head positions for optimal healing.

Retina surgery, while a crucial procedure for those suffering from retinal conditions, requires a period of post-operative care to ensure the best recovery. One of the most vital aspects of this care is proper head positioning, which plays an integral role in the healing process. In this blog we cover the main head positions- prone, semi prone and head end raised and explain how you can maintain them properly after your retina surgery. You can also watch our video on head positioning after retina surgery here.


Why is proper head positioning crucial after your retina surgery?

The success of retina surgery doesn’t solely depend on the procedure itself; it heavily relies on how well patients adhere to post-surgery instructions. One of the most critical aspects of post-operative care is maintaining the correct head position as it helps in supporting the retina in cases where a gas or oil tamponade is used. Incorrect positioning can impact the healing process and may even jeopardize the success of the surgery. At Shroff Eye Centre, we emphasize the importance of proper positioning, as it helps the retina heal effectively, reduces strain, and enhances the overall recovery experience. 

The role of Prone Positioning in Post-Retina Surgery Recovery

One of the most commonly advised positions after retina surgery is the prone (face-down) position. At Shroff Eye Centre, we recommend that patients lie on their stomach as part of their post-surgery recovery routine. Although this position may feel unfamiliar at first, it is a necessary part of the healing process.

A prone pillow is quite helpful in helping you maintain the required position comfortably during recovery. You can place the prone pillow at the edge of your bed to provide adequate support. Rest your face in the gap of the pillow, ensuring that your head is positioned correctly. This method not only keeps your head in the proper alignment but also promotes comfort, enabling you to rest without straining your neck. 

If the prone pillow feels uncomfortable for any reason, you can also try using a regular pillow at home with arms providing head support.

An important aspect when observing prone positioning is ensuring that your head remains straight. You must avoid turning your head to the left or right as this can interfere with correct support to the retina. The goal is to achieve a straight head alignment that prevents any unnecessary strain during the healing process. Our retina specialists will offer specific advice tailored to your needs, so be sure to follow their guidance closely.
The Semi Prone Position
For some patients, the prone position may not be easy to maintain for extended periods. However, it is essential to follow your specialist’s recommendations regarding this positioning for the most effective recovery. At times, you may be asked to sit on a chair in a prone position with your forehead supported by folded arms on a table. This technique can provide an alternative way to support your head during recovery without requiring you to lie flat.

Head end raised position 

Sometimes you may be asked to lie down on an incline of a certain degree, usually 30 or 45 degrees.  For this, two pillows can be placed under your head to elevate it slightly, making it easier to maintain a neutral head position. Alternatively,  raising the head end of the bed can also assist in creating the right alignment. 

At Shroff Eye Centre, we understand that every patient’s recovery process is unique. That’s why we recommend following the post-surgery care instructions provided by our retina experts. These instructions include the exact duration you need to maintain specific head positions, precautions to observe and medication to take.

Post-retina surgery recovery may seem daunting, but with the proper guidance, it becomes manageable. Correct head positioning is a key part of ensuring your retina heals effectively. At Shroff Eye Centre, we’re committed to offering you the best care and expertise, helping you navigate the recovery process with ease. By following the recommended positioning techniques and consulting with your retina specialist, you can ensure the best possible outcome for your eye health. Remember, your success is our priority, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.At Shroff Eye Centre, we understand the importance of expert eye care and we aim to provide our patients with the knowledge they need for a speedy and successful recovery. Here, we’ll guide you through essential head positioning techniques after retina surgery, ensuring you’re on the right track for optimal healing.

### Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Wet AMD is the more advanced form of Age-related Macular Degeneration. If not treated in time it causes a rapid decline in vision.

This kind of macular degeneration is generally caused by the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the retina and macula. 
What happens to the retina in Wet AMD?
The retina’s function is to transfer light signals from the eye to the brain. Cells in the retina help us ‘see’ light and also colour. The macula of the eye is the central part of the retina, responsible for your sharp vision.  

The growth of abnormal new blood vessels from the choroid under and into the macula is called choroidal neovascularization. (The choroid is a normal layer of blood vessels between the retina and the outer, firm coat of the eye called the sclera). 

Wet AMD is generally caused by the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the retina and macula. These abnormal vessels leak fluid or blood into the macula and cause a bump with swelling in the macula, resulting in vision loss & vision distortion.
Who is at risk of wet Age-related macular degeneration?
Wet AMD imaging in a patient eye

You are more likely to develop AMD if you

 	Age: The risk increases with increasing age, those over 60 years of age are at a higher risk.
 	have a Family History of AMD
 	have hypertension 
 	have heart disease
 	smoke cigarettes
 	are overweight
 	are Caucasian 

Wet AMD Symptoms


Wet AMD usually presents with worsening vision. This is because the macula or the central part of the retina is involved and the disease is progressing. Patients may also notice

 	Loss of color vision
 	Difficulty in reading smaller text on mobile screens, books or recognising faces
 	Straight lines appearing wavy or crooked
 	Difficulty in seeing in low light
 	A dark spot or loss of vision in the centre of their vision. 

Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration Diagnosis
To diagnose Wet AMD, our doctors will order some tests such as

 	Visual Acuity Test
 	Amsler Grid
 	Dilated Retina Check up by our retina specialists
 	Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
 	Optical Coherence Tomography- Angiography (OCT-A)
 	Fluorescein Angiography (FFA)

Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatment
Wet AMD is a  rapidly progressive retina problem which needs early treatment.

The gold standard treatment methods are intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. Other methods are laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, intravitreal steroids and or a combination of these. The aim of treatment is to slow down the rate of vision loss or stop further vision loss. Our retina surgeon specialists in Delhi NCR will help you decide the best course of action.

### Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration

This is the most common and almost found in 90 % of patients. About 10-20% progress to an advanced stage.  In Dry AMD, parts of the macula become thinner with age due to retinal cell loss. There is a slow loss of function in the retinal cells leading to a gradual reduction in eyesight and loss of central vision. 

 
Who is at risk of Dry Age-related macular degeneration?

You are more likely to develop AMD if you

 	Age: The risk increases with increasing age, those over 60 years of age are at a higher risk.
 	have a Family History of AMD
 	have hypertension 
 	have heart disease
 	smoke cigarettes
 	are overweight
 	are Caucasian 

Can you reverse Dry AMD?
Dry AMD cannot be reversed but its progression may be slowed down by 

 	Exercising & maintaining a healthy lifestyle & weight
 	Quitting smoking
 	 Eating a balanced diet rich in green leafy vegetables, fish & nuts.
 	Adding specific multivitamins to diet.
 	Controlling hypertension, heart disease & blood cholesterol levels

Other than this, regular retina checks are essential.

Dry AMD Symptoms
Early macular degeneration may not present with any signs or symptoms. Some patients may notice

A gradual worsening of vision

Reduced colour vision

Difficulty in seeing in dim light

Difficulty in recognising faces, fine writing or mobile screens

Straight lines appearing wavy or crooked
Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration Diagnosis

To establish a dry AMD diagnosis, a comprehensive retina eye exam is done. The following tests are done to confirm the diagnosis:

 	Visual Acuity Test 
 	Amsler Grid 
 	Dilated Retina Check by our retina specialists 
 	Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
 	Optical Coherence Tomography- Angiography (OCT-A)
 	Fluorescein Angiography (FFA)

On examining the eye, retina specialists often note the presence of tiny clumps of a protein called Drusen.

Dry AMD Treatment
Dry AMD generally does not require treatment. However, regular follow-up & eye exam is essential to monitor the progression of the disease. 

We also encourage you to use the Amsler grid regularly at home.

Role of Multi-Vitamins in Macular Degeneration
The AREDS (Age-related Eye Disease Study) found that a specific high-dose formation of Antioxidants and minerals significantly reduces the risk of advanced AMD and its associated vision loss.

 Lutein & Zeaxanthin- if it is deficient in your diet, adding food rich in these may slow down the progression of AMD.  Found in green leafy vegetables, eggs etc.

Vitamin C, Vitamin E & Zinc in specific doses may help in slowing the progression to Wet AMD. To meet the best eye specialist for Dry Macular degeneration treatment in Delhi NCR, call us today!

### 7 Tips for Healthy Eyes in the Monsoon!

India’s monsoons and the hot-humid sticky weather are difficult to deal with for most. From deciding what to wear, trying to control frizzy hair, falling ill with flu, sweating buckets before even getting to work and all the while trying to ensure the laptop bag doesn’t get drenched- in all this hum-drum we often forget to take care of our most precious organs- the eyes.


Here are 7 simple tips that will help keep your eyes healthy and reduce your chances of severe eye infections & vision loss!
1.  Avoid waterproof eye makeup.
Yep, you read that right. As contradictory as it sounds in rainy weather, waterproof eye makeup is harder to remove properly. The particles from waterproof makeup- whether eyeliner or mascara- builds up along the lash lines and can clog the glands found here. These glands produce substances that keep your eyelid and eyes healthy as well as free from dryness and infections. If you must use waterproof make-up, please ensure that you remove it properly (frankly, even water-based make-up should be removed properly) before sleeping!
2. Throw away old makeup & wash those brushes!

 	Bugs (bacteria & viruses) love this hot & humid weather. One place where they hide & grow is in old makeup. This can spread infections like conjunctivitis. 
 	Ideally, you should throw away makeup if it’s more than 3 months old- even if you’ve hardly used it!
 	Brushes should be washed & dried frequently - especially if you’ve shared them with someone else... This brings us to the next point...

3. Don’t share makeup, brushes or handkerchiefs!
This is a strict no in any season! Bacteria & viruses can be passed from one person to another this way. This is the truest for eye infections- please don't share those eyeliners, kajal or mascaras with anyone else - be it, friends or siblings!
4. Change lens solution often.
This is even more important in hot humid environments.

 	Discard the lens solution in the lens case after every use and add a fresh solution to the case.  
 	Do not “top off” or use water to clean lenses. 
 	Open lens solution bottles should be used or thrown within 1-3 months (please check the lens solution bottle for details).
 	Do not use lens solutions beyond their expiry date. 

All this minimizes the chances of contamination by other microorganisms in the container or lens solution.
5. Touch your eyes only with clean hands
We understand this is a tough one but it’s so so important! 

Try not to touch or rub your eyes with unclean hands. Always try to wash & dry your hands before touching your face, eyes or lids. This is the simplest way to avoid most infections (including COVID)!
6. If you get splashed in your face with rainwater
Gently wash your eyes with drinking water. If any eye redness or irritation in the eye occurs- please consult an eye doctor!
7. Don’t self medicate
Pink eye or conjunctivitis, stye and blepharitis are quite common in the monsoon. All may have overlapping symptoms such as red eyes, itchy eyes or irritation in the eyes. Most people land up in trouble when they self-treat or take medication from their local chemist. Infections can become worse as many times viral infections are wrongly assumed to be bacterial and treated with the wrong antimicrobials. A lot of these infections can cause loss of eyesight as well. Don’t wait for it to become a problem, get to an eye specialist early.

### Signs That Suggest Your Child <br> May Need an Eye Check-up

Vision problems in children in the formative years of their life can have a negative impact on their development. With a shift towards digital education, increased screen time has caused an increased incidence of Myopia

One in four school-age children have a vision impairment. Observing their environment, people, reading, writing, and studying are just some of the ways children learn visually.

Children deserve the best eye care so they may enjoy all the earth has to offer. 
    However, they may have difficulty recognising they have a vision issue or may not be able to explain their eye difficulty. As a result, the eye problems in children often go undiagnosed for a long time, leading to eye strain, frequent headaches, avoidance of reading or schoolwork.

What are the signs of a weak eyesight?

    Difficulty while readingBooks, homework, school and other activities all require reading. Vision problems may present indirectly - such as sudden disinterest in school- as they cannot follow what’s happening. Difficulty in reading, especially if dyslexia has been ruled out, may also point to vision difficulties.
        Missing words, Skipping lines, Reading at an uneven or staggering pace- especially with smaller font
        Seem disinterested in reading related activity
        Holding other screens and objects too close or too far from the eyes
        Hear them complain of not being able to see the blackboard at school
        Squinting eyes excessively
        Excessive rubbing of eyes
    
    Reading trouble can also easily show up in their school performance and their grade as well, so watch out for their academic performance as that might help catch an undiagnosed eyesight problem in children.
    Difficulty playing sportsPlaying games and other sports activities, especially outdoor games such as badminton, play catch, cricket and others require a clear vision, good hand-eye coordination, and judging distances. These can be difficult if your children’s eyesight is weak or blurry.If you see your child missing catches, bumping or tripping over objects, or having difficulty judging distances, it could be a vision disorder or eyesight issue which needs immediate attention. In such a case you should get your child tested for their vision by a childrens eye specialist.
    Frequent Headaches and other symptomsFrequent headaches for which no other cause can be found or watering and discharge from eyes also are symptoms of vision problems among people of all ages.Listen to your child if they complain about any such symptoms.
    Obvious Eye defectsAny deviation of one or both the eyes (Squint), drooping of eyelids (ptosis), white reflex from the pupil or very large eyes (congenital glaucoma) are other eye problems young children may face. It is best for your child if our child eye specialist sees such young patients as early as possible.


What should you do?

    Listen to the child. Don’t ignore your child’s signs assuming that they are avoiding school work or throwing a tantrum. Being the child’s caretaker, you are the best person to observe anything different or unusual in your child’s behaviour. 
    Get their eyes tested early.
        If there are no obvious vision problems, the first child eye checkup should be done at  3-4 years of age, i.e just before they join school. After this, yearly visits to the child eye doctor ensures that a problem doesn't go unrecognised and gets treated in time.
    Even if your child fails to report an eye issue or you miss noticing it, a child eye specialist shall be able to catch the problem and provide timely eye treatment for children. 
    You can get a child eye test done at Shroff Eye Centre near you. Our clinics are in Delhi, Gurgaon & Ghaziabad where Child Eye Care Specialists are available.  Our pediatric ophthalmologists are the amongst the best in the country and we also have the latest technology to diagnose and care for your child at affordable prices. to get your child’s eye check-up done and ensure a healthy, bright, and clear vision and future for your child.

### Can I be a candidate for Laser<br> LASIK Specs Removal Surgery?

Many people find wearing specs a hassle and their dependence on them, frustrating.  This is especially true if you’ve worn them for a long time and find it irritating to wear contact lenses for long periods of time. If you’re want to get rid of your specs and get vision correction, LASIK laser eye surgery might be you.

What is LASIK Eye Surgery?

ASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis. It uses laser beams to correct the vision by reshaping the cornea, allowing light to focus on the retina properly. This ensures that you are able to see clearly without your specs. 
LASIK is a common and popular treatment option that can correct


    Nearsightedness (myopia)
    Far-sightedness (hyperopia)
    Astigmatism


Wondering if you are a good candidate for LASIK?

You are a good candidate for LASIK if –


    You have stable vision for 1 yearOne of the very first prerequisite for LASIK is you need to have stable vision eye power for atleast 1 year. Till the vision doesn’t stabilise, it may be pointless to get vision correction as vision will change even after the laser correction in this scenario!
    You are older than 18 years of ageYou need to be at least 18 years of age to opt for this surgery. This is because the vision is still changing in people under 18 years of age.
    Your eye power is within the safe limits for correctionLASIK can be performed if your eye power is within certain ranges – 
        Myopia: -0.50 to -10.00 
        Hyperopia: +0.50 to +4.00 
        Astigmatism: +/- 0.50 to +/- 4.00 
        If your eye power is not within these ranges, LASIK may not be an option for you. However, there are alternative methods that might be suitable such as ICL. A consultation with our LASIK eye surgeons in Delhi NCR will be best to discuss your options. 
    Your corneal thickness is adequate When you come for a pre- LASIK check up, we measure your corneal thickness. If the corneal thickness is adequate (>500 microns), and you meet other criteria for LASIK- vision correction surgery can be done safely for you. If your corneal thickness is not adequate- LASIK is NOT safe for your eyes as it can lead to complications in the future. Your surgeon may suggest PRK (EpiLASIK) or ICL if your corneal thickness is less.
    You do not suffer fromSystemic illness and illnesses affecting your immunity, impairing your ability to heal such as – 
        Diabetes 
        Rheumatoid Arthritis 
        Lupus 
        HIV 
        Other autoimmune diseases 
        Or Severe heart disease 
        Eye conditions such as– 
        Glaucoma 
        Cataracts 
        Corneal diseases 
        Severe Dry Eye 
        Large Pupils 
        Inflammation (such as keratitis or uveitis) 
        Infections (such as herpes simplex) 
        Eye injuries or disorders

        Other factors to consider
            If you’re Pregnant or Lactating, please wait.  Temporary fluctuations in eyesight can occur during this time.
            If you’re on medication like Isotretinoin, LASIK may have to be deferred for a bit.
            Pupil diameter 
                Pupil diameter is an important factor in LASIK surgery. If you have large pupils, you may not be able 
            Schirmers Test: Schirmers value of < 10 mm in 5 minutes indicates Dry Eye. LASIK can be done after treatment Dry Eye.
            To be remembered that LASIK correction surgery improves vision and a few people may still require glasses after this or as they age and presbyopia sets in.

### What Do You Need to Know About<br> Eye Redness?

Red Eye can be scary, especially if it occurs suddenly. Usually, red eyes are not something to worry about. The accompanying discomfort may be the main reason you visit an eye specialist. However, sometimes it may point to a serious eye problem.
Here’s everything you need to know about red eyes or “bloodshot eyes.”
What causes red eyes?
Usually, red eye occurs because of congested vessels in the conjunctiva- which is the top layer of the eye. Irritation and inflammation in blood vessels, which affects the surface of the white part of the eyes, causes them to appear prominent. It can sometimes also occur due to leakage of blood from sub-conjunctival vessels.
Common causes of irritation & redness in eyes:

Dry Eye- Excessive screen use (Computer Vision Syndrome), Smoke exposure, Sleep deprivation, Overwearing of contact lens, Dry Eye disease
Allergic Conjunctivitis-  Frequent Rubbing of eyes
Infective Conjunctivitis- bacterial or viral
Uveitis
Injury: Chemical (Exposure to Chlorine from the swimming pool, makeup, hair color), Physical injury - corneal scratch from twig or insect going into the eye
Subconjunctival hemorrhage
Acute glaucoma

You may also experience other vision problems such as discomfort in the eye, blurry vision, grittiness, discharge or pain depending on the extent of corneal involvement.
Subconjunctival hemorrhages are painless and have no other symptoms- they are just alarming to look at. 
How do I treat red eyes?
The first thing to remember is not to self-treat. The symptoms of Red Eye are overlapping and it can be difficult to distinguish the cause on your own. This is why you must visit an ophthalmologist. Your eye doctor can help you treat the Red Eye properly.
Although most causes of Red Eye may not cause permanent damage, some like Infective Conjunctivitis and Acute Glaucoma need immediate attention.
How to avoid the condition?
Eyes are a sensitive part of the human body and one should follow complete eye care. There are a few ways to take care of your eyes on a daily basis to minimize the chances of red eyes.

Remove makeup & contact lenses before going to sleep.
Do not rub the eyes excessively.
Avoid smoking- Tobacco smoke is a major irritant and can worsen allergic conjunctivitis and Dry Eye.
Follow the 20-20-20 rule- Take regular breaks. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Do not self treat or use eye drops recommended by a chemist. This is true especially for steroid eye drops as these can worsen an infection, if present.

If the problem persists for more than a day, you can search for an eye doctor near me. A highly reputed Eye hospital in Delhi, Shroff Eye Centre offers solutions for all eye related problems.
If you are worried about your red eyes, make an appointment with our eye specialists now.

### Why does reading get harder with age?

All about Presbyopia a.k.a age-related blurred vision.
Vision problems increase as we age. The most common reasons for this reduced eyesight with age is due to cataracts, age-related macular degeneration or Presbyopia.

Presbyopia (pronounced Press-bye-o-pia) is an age-related medical condition that develops due to the gradual thickening of the lens in the eye and also due to a lack of flexibility in the lens. Low elasticity of the lens makes it more difficult to focus on nearby objects and this causes blurred vision.

The most common complaint for people who are over 45 years of age is difficulty in reading small or fine prints. Reading fine or small fonts gets difficult to read because with time lenses in our eyes change.

People from age 18 to 30 years old find it easier to read text with fine details. Whereas, adults of age 45 or older start seeing blurry text and rely on contextual clues, such as the shape of letters and words. This is also a time when you find reading is easier if you remove your distant vision glasses or you may find enlarging or zooming into the screen makes it easier to read or holding things at an arms length to read.
Symptoms of Presbyopia

 	A tendency to hold screens, newspaper or books farther away to make the writing clearer or frequently removing distant vision glasses to read close objects.
 	Zooming in or enlarging font while reading.
 	Blurred vision at normal reading distance.
 	Eyestrain, headaches, irritation in the eyes after reading or doing close-up work.
 	Glare and difficulty in driving at night.

Presbyopia symptoms are often similar to other causes of reduced eyesight in older people so it is best to get an annual eye check at your nearest eye specialty hospital.
Risk Factors
You are more likely to develop presbyopia if

 	You’re over 40 years of age
 	Have other medical conditions, such as diabetes. This can increase your risk of premature presbyopia, which is in people younger than 40.
 	You’re on some medication such as antidepressants or antihistamines.

Can you reverse presbyopia?
Unfortunately, there is no way to reverse Presbyopia. One can explore vision correction options as suggested by the  eyes doctor. Some of the suggestions are like having special glasses, special contact lenses, or laser vision correction. A new medicine may also soon be available. A healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle may also help in preventing early onset of age-related vision loss.
Presbyopia Treatment

An important point to remember about presbyopia is that it is PROGRESSIVE. That means, your eye power will change with time. So you may need to change specs, lenses and wear glasses after refractive surgery too!
Some of the ways to correct Presbyopia are :

Eyeglasses
Most people find these presbyopia correction lenses easy to use after they adapt to them.

 	Reading glasses. These can be worn only when an individual needs to read or see an object closely and have a “+” number.
 	Bifocals. These glasses have 2 lenses joined together. This is seen as a visible horizontal line. The distant vision lens is above the line, and your reading lenses are below the line.
 	Trifocals. These glasses have 3 lenses in one. They have 2 visible horizontal lines in the lenses. They allow you to do close-up work, middle distance vision — such as for computer screens — and have distance vision too.
 	Progressive multifocals. This is a special type of lens that has no visible horizontal lines. It has multiple powers for distance, middle distance and close-up corrections molded into one smooth lens. Different areas of the lens have different power.

Contact lenses
Special Contact lenses are another option for people who don’t want to wear specs for presbyopia. People with Dry Eye or eyelid problems may not be able to use these lenses.

 	Bifocal contact lenses. Bifocal contact lenses provide distance and near vision correction in each contact lens.
 	Monovision contact lenses. In this, you wear a contact lens for distance vision in one eye (usually your dominant eye) and a contact lens for close-up vision in the other eye.

Refractive surgery
Refractive surgery changes the shape of your cornea. For presbyopia, refractive surgery is used to improve close-up vision in your nondominant eye. It's something like wearing monovision contact lenses. Please be aware that even after surgery, you may need to use reading glasses for close-up work.
Lens Replacement
Lens replacement is another presbyopia treatment option, i.e. similar to what is done in cataract surgery.

In presbyopia, if you have not developed cataracts, a clear lens exchange can be performed. If you also have a cataract, then a cataract surgery with IOL replacement is done. You may need reading glasses after surgery depending upon the nature of your work and choice of lens.
Eye Drops
A new treatment for presbyopia has recently been FDA approved. This medicine for presbyopia uses Pilocarpine eyedrops to cause pupil constriction and improve near vision.

### Contact Lens User Guide

The 3 C’s of caring for your lenses and Your guide to using soft contact lenses safely & correctly
Contact lenses are a popular choice in all age groups due to their flexibility, comfort and versatility.  But most people are unaware about how to care or store their lenses properly!

The 3 C’s of contact lens care:

Clean hands: Wash your hands with soap and water- and dry your hands with a clean cloth - before wearing or removing your lenses.

Do wash your hands before wearing or removing lenses.
Do check expiry date of lenses and lens solution.
Do check lenses for damage before wearing.
Do use only sterile lens solution for cleaning & storing lenses. 
Do clean lens case thoroughly with every use.
Do change lens storage case & lens solution frequently - as often as recommended.  
Do consult an eye specialist before starting to wear contact lenses. They come in different sizes, types and thickness and need to be fit properly to ensure comfortable & clear vision. Often people just visit an optical shop and buy lenses with the opticians advise in India. It is better to ensure you have no pre-existing corneal problems which may worsen with contact lens wear and cause damage to your vision. 
Do carry backup glasses or an extra pair of contact lenses in case something happens to the contacts you are wearing. 


Don't 

Don't use old, dry discolored, damaged or expired lenses. 
Don't use water or home-made lens solution or DIY lens solution for cleaning or storing lenses.

Don't wear lenses if you have redness, irritation or discharge etc from your eyes. 
Don't wear lenses if your doctor has recommended that you avoid them. 
Don't swim or shower while wearing contact lenses.
Don't share lenses with anyone else!


Tips for people who are just starting to wear lenses

Some new contact lens users may find it irritating and time consuming in the beginning to wear lenses. Be gentle and patient, these are your eyes. If they water too much, take a break. If the lens develops a scratch from repeated attempts to wear, please discard this lens. And if your eye hurts or waters excessively with the lens inside, please take it out. You may have scratches your cornea and need to go show an eye doctor around you if the redness and pain doesn't subside soon. 

Remember to consult an eye doctor before your start wearing lenses. This is to
  – Get the best fit and type of lens for your eye
  –Ensure that there is no undetected problem with your eyes which may get worse with lenses. 

Remember to follow the Do's and Don'ts of lenses- especially on cleanliness & storage of lenses. Many times we have seen horrid eye infections- which can scar the cornea and ruin eyesight- just because someone was too tired or complacent- and didn't wash their hands or use lens solution- and thought nothing would happen just once.

Step-by-step Instruction for wearing Contact Lenses:


    Wash your hands thoroughly with soap & water and then drub with a grown cloth.
Stand near a clean surface when you handle contact lenses. 
Always open one side cover of the lens box- left or right. Do this especially if your lens power is different in each eye to avoid mixing up the lenses.
Carefully and gently pick out the lens and clean it with sterile lens solution in your palm. 
Put the lens on the tip of your index finger and check the lens for any damage. Also, check that the lens is correct-side out. 
Hold your upper lid and/ or lower lid open and look into the mirror. Gently insert the lens. 
Close your eyes gently and Rotate your eyeball slowly with closed eyes in all directions to set the lens properly. 
Look again into the mirror to check the lens position. If the lens is inserted and centered correctly, you should feel  comfortable and your vision will be clear. 
If you feel discomfort or have blurry vision, you need to take it out and check the lens for damage. If it's ok and you  don't feel discomfort with the lens out, you can try wear the lens again. 
Once you have got the 1st lens in, repeat the process for the other eye. 
Empty the old lens solution which was in the container. 


Steps to take when taking out your contact lenses:

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap & water and then drub with a grown cloth. 
Stand near a clean surface when you handle contact lenses. 
Always open one side cover of lens box- left or right. Do this especially if your lens power is different in each eye to avoid mixing up the lenses. 
Clean up the lens storage case with sterile lens solution. Then fill the storage case with lens solution till the level recommended. 
Stand in front of the mirror, pull your lower and upper eyelid with your fingers. 
Carefully slide the contact lens to the white area of the eye and gently pick the lens out with your index finger and thumb to remove it from the eye. 
Clean the lens with sterile lens solution & place it in the correct side of the storage case. The lens should be submerged properly. 
Shut the container well. 
Repeat the process to remove the lens from your other eye. 
If the lens is damaged in any way, please throw it away. 

Can I use water to store lenses or drinking water to clean lens case?


NEVER!

It's a common misconception that clean, drinking water can be used to clean lens containers or to store lenses. 
Tap water and Drinking water both contain microorganisms. These get transferred to the eye from the lens- and can cause severe damage to eyesight.

If you know someone who's done this and not had a problem, please Remember they have had a lucky escape!

If you don't have the sterile lens solution, It is better to throw away the lenses. This is better than the risk of losing your eyesight in attempts to save money by storing it in water. 

How do I clean my lens container?
Lens containers should be cleaned and preferably dried after every use. This means every time you wear your lenses, you must clean the container too. 

Use sterile multipurpose lens solution. Some companies sell special lens container cleaning solution and you must follow instructions given with the solution to ensure you neutralise the chemicals  before storing your lenses.
Throw away the old lens solution. 
Clean and dry your hands with a lint-free cloth.  
Fill new multipurpose lens solution and scrub the containers insides with your finger.
Flush with fresh lens solution and then discard to remove any debris. 
Clean the cap in a similar fashion.
Air dry in a relatively clean, dust- free environment or invert over a clean sterile cloth or tissue to dry. Allow to fully dry before use.
Discard container every few months even if it appears spotless. This is because containers can develop biofilms- which are invisible to the naked eye- but which allow bacteria to grow rapidly. 
You cannot use boiled water either to clean the lens case. 
You cannot use use surface cleaner, hand sanitiser, alcohol to disinfect lens container.     


Whatever your lifestyle and preferences, your  eye doctor can help you find the right contact lenses or eye care solutions for you.  If you find contact lenses a problem but still want to correct your eyesight without glasses, LASIK or refractive eye surgery is another option. Remember to always consult our eye specialist with questions about the health of your eyes and vision.

### What is pink eye?

Pink Eye also known as conjunctivitis is an inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane that lines the eyelid and covers the white part of the eyeball. When the eye turns reddish or pink it means that small blood vessels in the conjunctiva become inflamed and they become invisible.
Causes of pink eye
The inflammation in blood vessels of the eyes could be due to:

Viruses: Viruses are the most common cause of pink eye. Such as the common cold or COVID-19, are among the viruses that can cause pink eye.

Bacteria: Bacterial conjunctivitis includes Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Allergens: including pollen, dust, smoke, medicines, or other substances such as shampoos, cosmetics, contact lenses, and especially pool chlorine can also lead to pink eye.
Symptoms of pink eye


Symptoms of pink eye include:

 	Redness in the white of the eye or inner eyelid.
 	Increased tearing.
 	Discharge that crusts over the eyelashes, especially after sleep.
 	Gritty feeling in one or both eyes.
 	Itchy eyes (especially in the pink eye caused by allergies).
 	Burning eyes (especially in the pink eye caused by chemicals and irritants).
 	Blurred vision.
 	Increased sensitivity to light.
 	Swollen eyelids.

Diagnosis of pink eye
There are some other serious eye diseases that can result from eye redness. This may cause eye pain, blurred vision and a subtle sensitivity. If you have all these symptoms contact your nearest eye hospital immediately.
People who wear contact lenses must stop wearing them immediately and make an appointment with your eye doctor to prevent any further complications.

‘Where is an eye doctor near me?’ Find here.

 
Your ophthalmologist will examine your eyes and an acuity test may be done to see if vision is affected. Diagnosis of pink eye is  usually done on the basis of symptoms and health history.
Is pink-eye contagious & How does pink eye spread?
Since Pink eye is caused by viruses or bacteria ,they can be very easily transmitted from person to person. It is contagious. If you get pink eye due to bacteria, you can infect people around you within 24 to 48 hours after starting the medication. If you have it from a virus, you can spread it around as long as you have symptoms and or in some cases even before developing any symptoms. Pink eye caused by an allergy is not contagious. By using low quality or unhygienic eye makeup products or by sharing becomes contaminated with bacteria or viruses. By touching contaminated surfaces with bacteria or virus then touching your eyes without washing your hands is also medium to spread infection. 

It’s best recommended to confine yourself indoors until recovered in order to limit it’s spreadability, keep in regular touch with your eye doctor and keep following the instructions and medication given by the eye specialist.
Treatment of pink eye


As it's said, prevention is better than cure. Practicing good Eye care hygiene can control the spread of pink eye. Some tips on hygiene are :

 	Avoid touching your eyes with your hands
 	Wash your hands regularly
 	Use a clean towel or washcloth daily.
 	Don't share towels or eye makeup products
 	Change pillowcase regularly
 	Take good care of your eyes and keep lubricating the with eye drops as prescribed by your doctor

Keep this in mind that pink eyes are contagious just like the common cold. Take good rest and return to your work, college or school once you feel a little better. Stay consistent in hygiene for your eyes.

If diagnosed at an early stage of infection, early treatment can bring you ease and lead to faster recovery.

### Why is sleep important?

“A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures of anything”
~ Irish Proverb
A good night's sleep can do wonders. The old saying ‘Sleep heals you’ is not just some conjured folklore, instead when dug deep by medical sciences it stood out to be a fountain of elixir for the body.
Why is Sleep Important for Your Health ?
Apart from the concerned advice we get to hear from our near & dear ones ( especially elders), knowing the benefits of sleep can help you reconsider binge-watching Netflix or tiring your body for late hours.

While our body is in constant round-the-clock repairing and detoxifying mode,the time when you Sleep is a bracket where every muscle, connective tissue and cells renews every part of the body more efficiently.

Apart from it, long term memories are organised, chemicals brought to normal levels and your immunity boosted.
Yes, now imagine how ‘not having good sleep’ would have slowed down it all.
How is it important for the EYES ?

While sleep impacts the whole body, the window to our health - our ‘eyes’ functions naked to the environment for most part of the day which is why it’s important to treat them to some long hours of rest.

Sleep can help in:

 	Gives the eyes a break, leading to healthier eye function and better vision.

 	Try techniques to relax your body. Try a warm bath, meditation, cup of herbal tea or anything that helps you unwind before you go to bed.
 	Eat healthy. Heavy meat can keep you up for longer than you would have thought. But that doesn’t mean you should sleep hungry at night. Try and eat lighter meals at night
 	Don't sleep in discomfort. Make sure your pillows and mattress are comfortable allowing your body to fall into good slumber.
 	See a doctor to rule out sleep apnea if you can't get good sleep!

How much sleep is beneficial?

The amount of sleep varies from person to person. Generally, 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night is recommended for adults. Teenagers and young children may require a little more amount of sleep for their growing bodies.

### What can you prevent with regular Eye check-ups?

Our eyes as a sense organ are often termed as "the window to our soul”- helping us tell a lot about our overall health. 

The importance of  eye examination goes well beyond just making sure your vision isn't blurry. 

 
Poor vision from Myopia is on the rise & more common in today’s world 

Good vision correction improves your daily life cores. Specially if detected at a very young age. Children nowadays are exposed to more hours of screen time thus need a regular check up of eyes.This ensures their growth and learning back at school.

The growing number of children developing myopia ( Nearsightedness) is growing on a faster rate and yet they need attention as early as possible. If ignored and not treated during their childhood can lead to worsening of their eyesight.

Schedule a doctor’s appointment every six months to have a regular check on your child’s eyesight and reduce the risk of any problems related to eyes later in life. Find a doctor near you and schedule an eye examination now.
Proper Eye Examination is Mandatory
 

Just by passing a school visual screening exam in children or a driving exam as adults doesn't mean that your eyes are perfectly fine.Neither of these assumptions are correct.  

Screenings can identify minor problems a person might have with specific visual tasks, such as seeing a chalkboard clearly in the classroom or recognizing road signs and other objects from behind the wheel.

Only a comprehensive eye exam by an eye doctor (optometrist or ophthalmologist) can ensure your vision is as clear and comfortable as possible and don't suffer from any potential serious eye disease that might not have any early symptoms including glaucoma and even eye cancer.

 
Early detection is important

 
Of all serious eye diseases, glaucoma is probably the sneakiest. That's because there are no visible symptoms in most cases of early glaucoma or any alert that something's going wrong.

People who don't go for routine eye exams and have developed glaucoma become aware of it only after they experience permanent vision loss from the disease. And by that time, controlling glaucoma to prevent additional vision loss can be very difficult. Successful control with glaucoma treatment is needed and/or glaucoma surgery, otherwise the disease can lead to blindness.

Early detection of high eye pressure and other risk factors is possible only with routine eye exams. Vision screenings do nothing to identify or prevent glaucoma.

 
Did you know many serious health conditions are detected by Routine Eye Exam:

 
Some of the health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol are initially detected by a regular eye check up. During an extensive eye exam, your doctor can observe and evaluate the health and condition of the blood vessels in your retina, which are a good predictor of the good flow of blood vessels throughout your body. Conditions such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia all are visible by changes in the appearance of the retinal blood supply and blood vessels.

Annual eye exams are especially important for anyone with diabetes or who might be at risk for the disease (due to obesity, family history or other reasons).

Also, research is advancing to develop an eye test to identify your risk for Alzheimer's disease that may soon be performed during a comprehensive eye exam.

 
Schedule an eye exam today

If you have been noticing slight trouble with your vision or it has been too long since you had your last eye check up, we suggest you to visit your nearby eye doctor.

### The Winter Eye Care Guide

10 Tips to take care of your eyes this winter
Though everyone thinks summer is the only season to take care of your eyes from the strong Sun rays, it's equally important to protect your eyes in winters too.
Some Factors that impact eyes in winters:


 	UV radiation:
Excessive UV exposure via direct sunlight is known to increase the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. That’s why doctors suggest using sunscreens and sunglasses during prolonged outdoor activities.
 	Viral season:
Viruses thrive when people stay together in enclosed spaces. This is usually why we see an increase in  viral infections in winters, including those of the eye, ie viral conjunctivitis. 
 	Nutrition:

We tend to eat less fresh fruit or salads as we prefer food which is warm. We also drink less water, leading to dehydration and certain vitamin deficiency. 
 	Warm indoor air: 
The circulated indoor air can also be damaging for eyes as it may be from heaters which lets air out and can cause eye discomfort. 
 	Outdoor dry air: 
As outdoor temperature drops in winter, the air also cools down, and does not hold as much moisture. These cold winds   can cause evaporation of our tear film, resulting in dry eye, causing irritation and dryness.
 	Physical activity:
The cold weather makes us all lethargic and want to snuggle under a blanket, watching Netflix or YouTube! Often meaning we lie on the bed while not giving our eyes the rest (not sleeping )

Winter eye care tips:


 	Turn down the temperature of central heating to a neutral temperature for moisture retention in your eyes. 
 	Keep a safe distance from blowers or heaters so that the hot air doesn't blow on your face.
 	Remember to blink while watching your favourite show, huddled under a blanket.
 	Temptation to touch our eyes with our hands or rub our eyes just for a little relief from the irritation. But this relief can lead to some unwanted bacterial/ virus infections. Avoid touching your eyes, especially with unclean hands.
 	Don't share eye makeup, wash those brushes and throw away old makeup. Remember to remove all eye makeup and contact lenses before sleeping. This will reduce chances of an infection.
 	Eat a well balanced diet and don't forget to drink water! This provides essential nutrients for good health and eyesight. 
 	Carry your sunglasses especially if you spend a long time outdoors. The UV rays can be harsh, especially at higher altitudes. 
 	Some Sun is good for you. As we wear full sleeved clothing, we don't get enough vitamin D in winters. Remember to soak up some sunshine daily but never stare at the sun, even in winters!
 	Exercise! Regular physical activity is essential to maintain good health. Exercise benefits eyes by helping keep glaucoma under control by helping diabetics maintain sugars and by lowering hypertension. All this has indirect benefits on the eyes!
 	If your eyes feel excessively dry, do not repeatedly wash your face. Also do NOT put any oil or cream into your eyes, this is dangerous and can lead to loss of vision. Instead, check with your eye specialists.

If you experience chronic dry eye or persistent irritation, immediately visit our eye care centre where our eye doctors can examine your eyes thoroughly and recommend the proper course of action.

### Why do you need regular eye checkups?

‘If I deaf, blind, and find life interesting, how much more can you gain by the use of your five senses?’ - Helen Keller
Helen’s words are a reminder for being grateful for things we take for granted - our senses- especially our sight.


Regular eye examinations are important because:

What happens in a General Eye Checkup?


Visual Acuity test
This test assesses the reading capacity of eyes from a given distance. It is done to check both near & distant vision.

Regardless of having glasses on or not, a full eye examination is a better bet than waiting for your vision to blur out and show symptoms of underlying issues that otherwise could have been prevented in early stages.

The optometrist can give you a combination of a Machine test ( The House that seems to run far and near) and the classic letters + numeric reading test.

The latter one is widely performed where the patients are told to read out the fonts of different sizes, covering one eye at a time, and with both eyes open.

Based on this, the optometrist keeps changing the lens combinations until you are able to read most lines with ease. It can also be supplemented with the machine for a better approximation of eye power.
Air puff Test
This is done to measure eye pressure. You only feel a puff of air on your eye. The machine is called a non-contact tonometer.

Pressure may be high in glaucoma- which does not have any symptoms till it’s too late. The only way to save eyes from glaucoma damage is to get regular eye checkups- especially if you have a family history of glaucoma. Our optometrists perform this test as a part of general eye checkup in Delhi NCR.


Why do you need to come to an Eye Centre for a general eye check up?
Once these tests are done, our eye experts again ask you about your eye problems and any other medical conditions

After this, A slit lamp examination is done. You’re asked to look in different directions as a beam of light is directed on the front of your eye. This detects any conjunctiva, cornea or anterior chamber problems. A quick retina check is also done to check the fundus- or the central part of the eye.

If all is well or you need glasses only- the prescription is given to you and you’re done!

If your eye pressures are abnormal, the angles of your eye will be checked with a Gonioscope. You may also be referred to our glaucoma specialists.

If there are symptoms or signs of a retina problem, our eye doctors will get your eyes dilated and refer you to our retina specialists in Delhi NCR. Eye dilation is done by using special eye drops and can take from 30 mins to more than an hour. This is because everyone’s eyes are different and dilate at a different rate.

Once your pupils are dilated, our retina doctors thoroughly check your retina with an indirect ophthalmoscope.

If there is a need, our experts may need to do some other investigations or imaging to diagnose and treat your eye problem properly. We have all the latest imaging machines- OCT, OCT-Angio, VFA to measure visual fields etc under one roof.

Remember, an hour or two with an eye doctor once a year can Save your eyes!

Prevention is always better than cure. Book your eye appointment today

### EYE CARE guide for the elderly

Ageing is a beautiful process. As we age, we learn to be much more accepting of what life throws at us. We also learn to accept the physical changes which becoming older brings- be it some extra aches in the back or the growing dependency on glasses. Here’s how you can keep your eyes and vision healthy!
What are the common eye diseases or eye problems in older persons?
Poor eyesight because of eye problems such as
Presbyopia -  a gradual loss of the ability of the eyes to focus on nearby objects. Most people notice this by around their mid-40s.
Cataract -  slow loss of vision and glare due to opacification of the clear lens of the eye. Requires cataract surgery with lens replacement to restore normal vision.
Glaucoma-  loss of vision due to damage to optic nerve, high eye pressure. Needs regular treatment.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) - vision loss due to changes in the retina.
are some of the more common eye diseases you might encounter as their age advances.
We have jotted down this guide to help the elderly fam ( or the young curious minds ) live their ‘ageing’ days in ease.     


THE GUIDE


1. Eye Power
Wear the right glasses.


Whether you are farsighted or nearsighted, make sure to wear your glasses or contact lenses religiously because neglecting to do so can strain your eyes and cause headaches and eye discomfort.
Ensure that you wear the glasses with the correct power. With Presbyopia, you may find yourself removing your glasses and holding the newspaper or mobile very close to your face to read. This can be easily rectified by using progressive or bifocal glasses. Visit our eye centre in Delhi NCR to get a new prescription today.


2. Shade your eyes well.
Limit UV exposure


Heading out to the beach or taking an afternoon stroll? Don’t forget to carry UV filter sunglasses with you.
Soaking up some warm good sunshine is healthy for the body but not for your eyes.
Poor eyesight or not, too much exposure to the UV rays in sunlight can deteriorate your eyesight. Needless to say, you must NOT, we repeat you must never look at the sun directly with your naked eyes. Staring at the sun doesn’t make your eyes stronger. 
Excessive exposure to UV rays may also predispose you to cataracts and age related macular degeneration. Read more about harmful effects of blue light here. 


3. Give your eyes a break
Relax them regularly 


Love watching shows or read books on your mobile device?
We can’t seem to part with our screens, often hooked to it as if our actual life runs on it. This causes our eyes to feel tired and gritty. And also can cause Dry Eye!
Reduce the brightness on your screens, increase the font and remember the 20-20-20 rule. Watch Dr. Rushad Shroff, our amazing eye specialist, explains how here. 
Don’t ignore those eyes! Just like your body and your mind, eyes need some rejuvenation & rest too. 


4. Get regular eye checkups
Annual Eye check up for all ages


Poor vision can lead to falls in elderly, accidents and can cause mental distress as well. Getting a yearly checkup with our eye doctors in Delhi NCR is a great idea!
Why? Because most eye problems can then be detected and treated before they cause vision loss.


As we age, we sort of give in to the idea of a sedentary lifestyle- thinking it would cause exertion. 
While we may not be as fit as when we were younger, WHO recommends at least 20 minutes of aerobic exercise everyday for adults.
Regular brisk walks, jogging or home workouts- whatever you can do safely, must be done! Exercising not only improves cardiac health and muscle strength but also has indirect benefits on the eyes and vision.
At the same time, eating home cooked food & fresh fruits takes care of your body and vision! Please check with your doctor before you consume multivitamin tablets or food supplements.
P.S - Be mindful of the other health complications you have before venturing out on an intense workout or change your diet drastically. Get in touch with your doctor before trying out anything new.


5. Medical conditions.
Watch your blood sugar & BP!


Uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure are also terrible for your eye health. Diabetic retinopathy can cause a permanent loss of vision if not treated well in time. Diabetics should also have at least an annual eye checkup to ensure their retina is ok. People with diabetes are also more predisposed to cataracts and eye infections.  Other chronic conditions like autoimmune diseases can also affect the eye. We urge you to consult and follow your physician for health problems!
Hope these tips will help you maintain a healthy vision.

### Is blue light actually bad for the eyes?

Yes.. And no.
We are going to dispel some popular opinions which aren't grounded in evidence.

Too much screen time is a definite problem for the eyes. But contrary to popular belief, blue light from screens isn't as evil as it's made out to be.
What Is Blue Light?
It’s just a colour in the visible light spectrum of light ( remember VIBGYOR rainbow colours?). There are many colours involved but blue light has an important role to play in the animal and plant kingdoms. The main source of blue light is the Sunlight.
Other smaller sources are televisions, fluorescent and LED light bulbs, smartphones, tablets and laptops.

Too much exposure to blue light can cause blurry vision, eyestrain, macular degeneration, and cataracts.
But there's a catch! Read on.


How is blue light harmful to the eyes?

 	Causes Eye strain & Dry Eye:
Your screen time is important here.The more you stare at that screen, the more likely that you have Dry eye. This basically means your eyes aren't moist enough- either due to excessive evaporation of tears or because of incomplete blinking. But this is more from staring at screens, not the blue light alone.
 	Macular degeneration:
Too much blue light can damage light-sensitive cells in the retina. This can cause macular degeneration later in life and in turn, also lead to permanent vision loss. It's important to remember that the blue light studied in macular degeneration is from the Sun and the contribution from devices is still debated.
 	Post cataract surgery:
If you have cataract or if you’re about to get cataract surgery, ask your surgeon about the type of IOL used to replace your cloudy natural lens.

Not all blue light is bad…
Essentially, blue light is not evil.

Light therapy has been used to treat seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression which is usually caused by lack of sunlight seasonally.

Too much blue light at night can cause sleepless nights & daytime fatigue. Whereas, in the daytime, it may help in setting their circadian rhythm, which is the body's natural wakefulness and sleep cycle.

So blue light filters won't save my eyes?
Just using blue light filters without altering other risk factors- such as excess screen use in Dry Eye or Eye strain- are unlikely to help. Read below!
What’s the deal with blue light filters?
The use of blue light filters, blue light filtering lenses and coatings on specs is on the rise although there is no clinically proven benefit of using these glasses for screen time only.
People who are outdoors a lot should consider investing in a pair of good quality sunglasses to reduce UV light exposure. Excessive exposure to Sunlight has a definite role in Age-related Macular Degeneration ( AMD) & cataract.

Turning on the blue light filters in your devices makes it a little more comfortable to view and may mess your circadian rhythm a bit less- although scientists aren't yet sure if this will actually save your eyes from damage.

In short, cut out excess screen time and invest in a good pair of sunglasses!
