Sand in your eyes 👀😣 can ruin a fun beach day! If it happens, don’t rub your eyes. Blink to let your tears flush out the sand. Use eye wash or saline solution if needed. If the irritation persists, visit your #Optometrist so that they can help you remove foreign particles without damaging your eyes. Enjoy the beach safely! 🏖️😎 Learn more about summer eye protection on our blog: https://bit.ly/3VkhTfM . #BeachSafety #EyeCare #SummerFun

Heading out in the summer sun? 😎🔆 While sunglasses should be worn year-round outdoors for eye protection, the summer months are especially important as the Ultraviolet (UV) light index climbs. To make sure that your sunglasses provide the best UV protection, look for labels that say “100% UVA and UVB” or “UV 400.” These will absorb harmful rays and protect your eyes and skin. Need prescription lenses? Consult your Optometrist for prescription sunglasses to ensure both clarity & protection!
