Take screen breaks
Try the 20-20-20 habit: about every 20 minutes, look at something around 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Blink regularly and adjust screen glare.
Small habits. Healthier eyes.
Practical reminders for everyday visual comfort. Online information cannot replace an eye examination or individual medical advice.
Wear suitable eye protection
Use appropriate protective eyewear for sports, workshop tasks and other activities where eyes could be injured.
Keep lenses clean
Use a clean microfibre cloth and a lens-safe cleaner. Avoid rough fabrics or household products that may damage coatings.
Use contact lenses safely
Follow your practitioner's instructions, wash and dry hands before handling lenses, and never sleep or swim in lenses unless specifically advised.
Book routine checks
Recommended examination frequency depends on age, symptoms, health history and professional advice. Ask what schedule is right for you.
Don't ignore sudden changes
Sudden vision loss, a curtain-like shadow, new flashes or floaters, severe eye pain or an eye injury can be urgent. Seek prompt medical assessment.
