As the holiday season approaches, many of us are preparing for travel to visit family and friends. Whether you’re driving to a nearby city or flying across the country, protecting your vision on the go is essential.

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.

Questions to Ask About Eye Care While Traveling

  • How can I keep my eyes hydrated during long flights?
  • Should I avoid wearing contacts while traveling?
  • How does exposure to different environments impact my vision?
  • Can LASIK reduce travel-related vision challenges?
  • Is it safe to fly soon after LASIK surgery?

Conclusion

This holiday season, make sure your eyes are ready for the journey. Whether you’re considering LASIK or just need advice on keeping your eyes healthy during travel, the Filutowski Eye Institute is here to help. Contact us today at (407) 333-5111 or visit filutowskieye.com to schedule a consultation. Your eyes deserve the best care, so take action today to protect your vision during holiday travel! Don’t forget to use your FSA credits for LASIK before they expire!
