eye health through the seasons
Welcome
to a notebook on eyes and everyday life
For the days you want to understand your eyes a little better.
From how eye conditions work to everyday care,
explained in plain words, season by season.
Vision, Glasses & Contacts
Readers are set for a book, computer glasses for a screen farther away. How distance changes the strength, what computer glasses really are, and when to get an exam.
Eye Conditions
Watery and spreading, or thick and sticky? How viral, bacterial and allergic pink eye differ, how to stop it going around, and the signs that need a doctor today.
Vision, Glasses & Contacts
Costume lenses with no prescription are still medical devices. Why you need a fitting, why you never share, how long to wear them, makeup tips and when to take them out.
Health & Living
Mowers, trimmers and leaf blowers throw grit at eye level. What the Z87 marking means, glasses or goggles for each job, eyewear for kids who help, and first aid.
Vision, Glasses & Contacts
Sleeping in contacts starves the cornea of oxygen and raises the risk of a serious eye infection. What to do the morning after, and which signs mean see a doctor today.
Vision, Glasses & Contacts
What pupillary distance means, how to measure it at home with a ruler and a mirror or a friend, single, dual and near PD, and when to let an optician measure it.
How to find an eye doctor, what happens at a first exam, how to read clinic hours and what to do when trouble starts over a holiday. For symptoms that can't wait, see eye emergencies.
