At the Filutowski Eye Institute, we’re here to help you maintain clear, healthy vision all year long.

Why Spring Eye Health Matters

As we spend more time outdoors, our eyes are exposed to seasonal allergies, UV rays, and increased screen time. Protecting your vision can help you fully enjoy the beauty of spring while preventing long-term damage.

Essential Tips for Healthy Eyes This Spring

1. Protect Your Eyes from Allergies

Spring allergies can cause itchiness, redness, and watery eyes. To minimize irritation:

• Check pollen forecasts before heading outside.
• Wear wraparound sunglasses to shield against allergens.
• Keep windows closed to prevent pollen from entering your home.
• Use preservative-free artificial tears to flush out allergens.

2. Shield Your Eyes from UV Damage

The sun’s UV rays can contribute to eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration. Protect your vision by:

• Wearing 100% UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Choosing wide-brimmed hats for extra shade.
• Avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours (10 AM – 4 PM).
• Applying eye-friendly sunscreen around your eyes.

3. Stay Hydrated & Eat Eye-Boosting Foods

Nutrition plays a key role in eye health. Keep your vision sharp with:

• Omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, flaxseeds, walnuts) to reduce inflammation.
• Vitamin C and E (oranges, almonds) for antioxidant protection.
• Leafy greens (spinach, kale) to support retinal health.
• Plenty of water to combat dry eyes.

4. Reduce Digital Eye Strain

More people work and study remotely, leading to increased screen time. To protect your eyes:

• Follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
• Adjust screen brightness to match room lighting.
• Use blue-light blocking glasses if you spend long hours on devices.

5. Consider LASIK for a Clearer Future

If you struggle with contact lens discomfort from allergies or dryness, LASIK can be a life-changing solution. Benefits include:

• Freedom from glasses and contacts.
• Sharp, clear vision for outdoor adventures.
• Quick recovery, so you can get back to enjoying springtime activities.

At the Filutowski Eye Institute, we specialize in state-of-the-art LASIK and vision correction procedures to help you see clearly, without seasonal discomfort.
