Bright Eyesight Advantages For Social Distancing

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the key components of the so-called “new norm” is the necessary observance of social distancing.

With COVID-19 still pretty much a threat to the world, it is essential for everyone to practice proper social and physical distancing, especially in the crowd and public places. But is it that easy for everyone to properly do that?

Perhaps, social distancing isn’t as easy for some, particularly for those with blurry eyesight. Yes, that plays a big part, for obvious reasons.

People with blurry vision tend to have a more difficult time in calculating distance between them and others around, particularly in smaller public places.

Andrea Lim, who suffered from astigmatism before, shared how difficult it was for her to practice consistent social distancing in crowds.

“It was challenging to practice social distancing due to a poor vision. Aside from having a hard time seeing people moving all over the place, it was also a struggle seeing signage and guidelines in establishments,” said Andrea, who recently had LASIK for a better vision to help her everyday life.

With a brighter vision, one can instantly practice preventive measures more properly and easily, being able to see the surroundings better.

Andrea explained the difference and the advantages of having a brighter vision in observing proper measures in the “new norm”.

“Having brighter eyesight now helps a lot. I could see everything and everyone much clearer without having the need to move closer to them, which is obviously not advisable in our current crisis,” shared Andrea. “I don’t need to get closer to people just to see how distant I am from them. It’s just much easier practicing social distancing now with a better vision.”

If you are having some noticeable difficulties during this pandemic due to your eyesight, it’s perhaps time to seek LASIK for a more comfortable life.

Symptoms of Eye Strain Caused By Excessive Digital Exposure

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the biggest keys in reducing the spread of COVID-19 is to stay at home as much as possible while
minimizing physical proximity.

However, this has obviously led to increased use of digital devices and screen time for both work and
recreation, which may lead to an increase in eye strain or other eye complications.

As many people are stuck at home either doing work, surfing, accessing social media or watching series
and movies, blue and violet light emitted from high-energy visible (HEV) light spectrum devices can
disrupt normal circadian rhythm circles.

Increased time on digital devices and near work with screens can be dangerous and may very well cause
eye strain.

Eye strain signs and symptoms include:

  • Sore, tired, burning, or itching eyes
  • Watery or dry eyes
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Headache
  • Sore neck, shoulders, or back
  • Increased sensitivity to light
  • Difficulty concentrating.
  • Feeling that you cannot keep your eyes open

It is important to reduce and moderate your usage of digital devices for the good of your eye and overall
health. Make it a point that you take a break when you feel like your eyes are tired.

If you feel like you constantly have eye strain, it’s best to have your eyes checked. Schedule your eye
