The holiday season is a time for celebration, connection, and countless moments you’ll want to remember—family gatherings, sparkling lights, festive dinners, and joyful traditions. At Tyson Eye, we believe your vision should never hold you back from enjoying the season to its fullest. Whether you’re preparing for a busy calendar of events or simply looking forward to time at home with loved ones, keeping your eyes healthy is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
Holiday Season = More Screen Time & Winter Irritants
Even in sunny Southwest Florida, the holiday months bring unique eye-care challenges. Cooler, drier air (especially indoors with AC running), more screen time while shopping online, and holiday travel can all contribute to:
- Dry, irritated eyes
- Eye fatigue
- Increased glare sensitivity (especially at night)
- Difficulty focusing between near and far objects
If you’ve noticed blurry vision, glare from headlights, or difficulty reading holiday menus and cards, it may be time for a comprehensive eye exam.
Give Yourself the Gift of Clear Vision
At Tyson Eye, we offer advanced diagnostic technology and a team of experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists dedicated to helping you see clearly and comfortably. Whether you’re experiencing cataract symptoms, considering LASIK, or simply overdue for your routine exam, the holiday season is a perfect time to prioritize your vision.
Considering Cataract Surgery? Winter Is a Popular Time to Schedule
Many patients use the end of the year to:
- Use remaining FSA or HSA funds
- Schedule surgery before deductible renewals
- Enjoy better vision by the new year
Our upgraded lens options—including lifestyle and premium IOLs—can reduce your dependence on glasses and help you see beautifully during holiday gatherings, night driving, and outdoor activities.
If clearer night vision, sharper details, and reduced glare sound appealing, our cataract specialists can guide you through your best options.
Traveling for the Holidays? Protect Your Eyes on the Go
Whether you’re flying north or staying close to home, here are a few simple tips to keep your eyes comfortable:
- Stay hydrated: Travel and dry air environments can worsen dry eye.
- Pack artificial tears: Great for long flights and extended time outdoors.
- Wear sunglasses: UV rays are strong in Florida year-round.
- Take screen breaks: Holiday movies and phone use can strain your eyes.
If you experience sudden symptoms like flashes, floaters, or vision loss, seek care immediately—our retina team is here for urgent needs as well.
