Winter Eyesight
As we all start to add layers of clothing and eat heartier foods, do you make any changes to looking after your eyes?
Isn’t it harder on your eyes as we get less daylight hours and experience more artifi cial light?
When it’s chillier outside it’s easier to spend more time on electronic devices. To prevent eyestrain it’s advisable to look up for 20 seconds at a distance of more than 20 feet every 20 minutes. Think of it as the stretches you do if you’ve been working in the garden. Also, if you wear glasses consider having ‘blue control’ lenses. They can help with the fatigue caused by the blue light that’s emitted from screens. It isn’t a tinted lens and is slightly different to a ‘refl ection free’ lens.
What about driving at night? Have you noticed that with the trend for higher vehicles like SUVs and MPVs, headlights are much higher. They also have brighter adaptive lights, which is great for the driver but can be annoying to oncoming car drivers and passsengers. The advent of lenses specially designed for driving may help. Enroute lenses have a special glare fi lter and the option of
an enhancing fi lter; it can offer drivers and passengers less glare and refl ections and better contrast in low light conditions. They are available as single
vision lenses or as varifocals, specially designed to give an enhanced fi eld of view for distance and the dashboard – so they are great for just leaving in the car for driving.
It can also be a strain to read in the autumn and winter months. It helps to ensure you have a good source of light, reading lamps are particularly good as they have a bare bulb that can be angled over your shoulder to shine directly at what you are reading.
Above all it makes sense to eat a healthy diet and have your eyes checked regularly and ask your opticians if you have any questions.
