St. Patrick’s Day is a time for fun, celebration, and a little bit of Irish luck! As you dress in green, enjoy festive treats, and take part in the celebrations, don’t forget to show some love to your eyes. At Tyson Eye, we’re here to make sure your vision stays as sharp as a four-leaf clover. Here are a few tips to keep your eyes happy and healthy this St. Patrick’s Day!
Watch Out for Green Contacts
Green is the color of the day, and some people like to take it to the next level with green-colored contact lenses. If you’re considering decorative contacts, make sure they are prescribed by an eye doctor. Non-prescription lenses from costume shops or online retailers can lead to eye infections, scratches, or even vision loss. Keep your eyes safe by only using FDA-approved lenses from a trusted provider like Tyson Eye!
Protect Your Eyes from the Sun
Many St. Patrick’s Day celebrations take place outdoors, and with the Florida sunshine, your eyes need proper protection. UV rays can cause long-term damage, increasing the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Be sure to wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection to keep your vision safe while enjoying parades, outdoor festivals, or a day at the beach.
Go Easy on the Drinks
St. Patrick’s Day often involves raising a glass in celebration. While enjoying a drink or two is fine, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to dehydration, which may cause dry eyes and blurry vision. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will help keep your eyes hydrated and comfortable.
Don’t Rely on Luck for Your Eye Health
Good vision isn’t just about luck—it’s about taking care of your eyes with regular checkups! If it’s been a while since your last eye exam, St. Patrick’s Day is a great reminder to schedule one. Whether you need a routine eye checkup, treatment for dry eye, or cataract surgery, Tyson Eye is here to provide expert care.
