It's important to consider your contact lenses when swimming. In fact, we suggest removing them before taking a dip in the pool or ocean. The lenses can absorb the water, trapping potential bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens against your eye.🙅🦠 Avoid these risks and dive into the summer with healthy eyes! 🏊♀️🏖️ #SummerEyeCare #healthyeyes ...

It's UV Protection Month and we want to remind you the importance of good sunglasses. You should be wearing sunglasses that block 100% of UV rays when outdoors to protect your eyes from harmful UV radiation, which can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye conditions.
