DID YOU KNOW? Your eyes can get sunburned. Sunburn of the skin is well known (and felt) but many overlook how the sun can also hurt your eyes. The condition is called photokeratitis and can cause pain, redness, blurriness, tearing, swelling and sensitivity to light. Just like how your skin can peel after sunburn, photokeratitis can lead to the corneal epithelium “sloughing off”. Effects can be felt long after exposure, so always wear good sunglasses when in the sun. Give our Kona or Lihue optical offices a visit if you need a new pair! #Kona #Lihue #eyesafety #WednesdayWellness ... See MoreSee Less

It’s Contact Lens Health Week. Failure to wear, clean, and store your lenses properly increases the chance of getting germs in your eyes and causing complications. Contact lens–related eye infections can lead to long-lasting damage but often are preventable. Even minor infections can be painful and disrupt day-to-day life. Your contact lens wear and care habits, supplies, and eye doctor are all essential to keeping your eyes healthy. #ContactLensHealthWeek #EyeHealth #HealthyEyes #ContactLensCare ... See MoreSee Less
