At the Filutowski Eye Institute, we want to ensure your eyes stay healthy while you’re on the go, whether you’re in Orlando, Lake Mary, or Daytona Beach.
Eye Care Tips for Holiday Travelers
- Stay Hydrated: Traveling, especially by plane, can dry out your eyes. Drink plenty of water and consider using lubricating eye drops.
- Protect Your Eyes from UV Rays: Even in the winter, UV exposure can be harmful to your eyes. Bring sunglasses with UV protection.
- Avoid Eye Strain: If you’re reading or watching movies during travel, take breaks to avoid straining your eyes. The 20-20-20 rule is a great guide: look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
- Pack Essential Eye Care Supplies: Don’t forget your glasses, contacts, and any prescribed eye drops to keep your eyes comfortable during your trip.
FSA Tip: Use Credits for LASIK Before Year-End
Traveling can be stressful, and wearing glasses or contacts only adds to the hassle. Consider scheduling LASIK before the holiday season to simplify your travels. If you have FSA credits, now is the perfect time to use them for LASIK before they expire.
