We’ve heard it since we were little kids, “wash your hands.” But now more than ever, washing your hands needs to become a daily ritual for the health and well-being of yourself, your family, your friends and our entire community. Providence Eye wants to remind and inform you of a few important steps concerning caring for your eyes, glasses and contact lenses to avoid getting sick. We all know that colds, the flu and other illnesses are primarily transmitted through holes in our face; nose, eyes, and mouth. So keeping germs off your face is mission-critical, and it’s why you keep hearing “Don’t touch your face!”
Sure, you have cleaned smudges off your lenses before, but now it’s time to get serious and clean the frames, too. Dr. Mozayeni, Dr. Nunnery and Dr. Gray recommend you do the following every time you return to your home. Even if you are staying at home, then at least once a day:
Contact lens hygiene has never been more important. Here are our tips:
Should you encounter an infection, reach out to your current eye care provider and gain their professional advice.
Maintaining your annual eye exams with proper prescriptions is an important part of your overall health. Our optometrist, Dr. Daniel Gray, looks forward to seeing you, their patients, in the coming months.
If you think you may want to investigate other options besides glasses and contacts like LASIK or PRK vision correction surgery, contact us for a complimentary consultation with our LASIK surgeon Dr. Reza Mozayeni.
Your health and safety have always been our priority but now more than ever it is our job as a community to take care of each other.
