PROPER READING DISTANCE - NO HEAD MOVEMENT  

1. Schedule yearly exams
2. Avoid reading in bed or the same posture if not in bed.
3. After 15 minutes of reading momentarily look out a window preferably at greenery. After 30 minutes stand and stretch as well as looking out the window.
4. If you drive a black or similar dark colored car, drive with your headlights on during the day. You are easily missed by other drivers as you blend into the roadway.
5. Watch TV in normal room illumination, not with all the lights out.
6. Get special glasses for the computer tasks. The screen is very visually demanding and causes considerable eye strain. A bifocal makes you hold your head in the wrong position.
7. Before you consider LASIK or Cataract Extraction and Lens Implantation see us first so we can look over the doctor’s shoulder. After all the only reason you are doing either is to obtain clear comfortable vision. That is our expertise.
8. Do not wear your disposable contact lenses over the time expiration. You could get a painful corneal ulcer.
9. If you remove your xcontact lenses for an extended time like three days or more, slowly build your wearing time back to normal.
