Eye Care Tips for Autumn

Autumn has arrived, and with it can come a few potential challenges for our eyes, making it essential to take care of them by following a few helpful tips.

Can you put contacts in water temporarily?

No, you cannot put contacts in water, even if it’s just temporarily. Water contains microorganisms which can lead to serious eye infections. Often people who wear contact lenses assume that because water is clean enough to drink, it must be safe enough to put contact lenses in too. However, it is not true at all, for even clean, sterile water should never touch your contacts

Tired or poor eyesight

If you’re suffering from tired eyes or poor eyesight, this could be down to a range of things. For example, you may be experiencing tired eyes due to the effects of prolonged screen use, insufficient sleep, or even dehydration. On the other hand, poor eyesight may be due to refractive errors, genetics or medical conditions.
