Spring Cleaning your Eyeglasses

You clean out your garage, your yard, and other things during this time of year, but what about your eyeglasses? Sweat and dead skin can build up on your glasses over time leading to crud in the grooves and green or discolored nose pads.

Bring your glasses in for a spring tune up.

We’ll tighten your screws, clean your lenses, and replace your nose-pads if necessary.

Computer Vision Syndrome

Computer Vision SyndromeHow many hours a day do you find yourself in front of your computer screen? These days it’s common to spend 8-10 hours in front of a screen which causes unnecessary stress on your eyes. Here are a few tips to help you prevent Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

Find your sweet spot - Our eyes naturally look out and downward. To accommodate this, position your computer monitor so the center of your screen is a few inches below eye level, and 20 to 28 inches from your eyes. If you wear progressives, having the screen a little below eye level will help relieve that neck pain.

Adjust your lighting - Give yourself ample lighting, but position your computer screen and your light sources to avoid glare.

Use anti-glare screens - An anti-glare filter that fits over your screen can help reduce glare when you have little or no control over your surrounding light sources.

Take breaks and blink frequently - To prevent eye strain, rest your eyes for 15 minutes every two hours, and allow your eyes to refocus by looking around the room every 20 minutes. Blinking keeps your eyes moist and lowers your chances for dry eyes.

Wear proper eyewear - Be sure to have an Anti-Reflective coating on your prescription eyeglasses to reduce glare and alleviate eye strain. If you wear bifocals, consider higher end progressives with wider intermediate ranges for that computer distance. Single Vision glasses made specifically for that computer range may also be a solution, making your computer screen clear throughout the whole lens.

New Spring Fashions

Ladies, Glamour Magazines free advice for this spring comes in three steps:

1 – Dress yourself from the ground up. – When you’re stuck for what to wear, go for the shoes that thrill you; work north from there.

2 - If you have to ask whether it’s a dress or a top, it’s always a top.

3 – Sometimes you need to dress up just to remind everyone that you can. – This is especially important in these casual-workplace times.

This spring, glamour suggests 3 simples pieces that can be mixed and matched to wear with almost anything in your closet. Check them out here below:
