We all know that Optometrists remain very busy as they see every patient diligently and try to provide the best possible service. Sometimes they fail to provide you with complete information regarding the problem that you are suffering from. Here are six things your optometrist won't tell you, but this article will.
6 secrets your optometrist won’t tell you
Your Glasses Tell Us How Often You Wipe Your Lenses
People make the most common blunder by using tissues or paper towels to clean their lenses. Those materials are too coarse and can cause minor scratches on the lens surface. The lens loses clarity over time.
We can tell you did not remove your make-up
Sleeping with eye make-up, such as mascara and eyeliner, can cause irritation and itching. When you sleep it may get into your eyes and can lead to infection or toxicity.
Sunglasses are not just for trend
Sunglasses are the most effective protective barriers from UV rays and direct sunlight. Besides, you can avoid headaches and sensitivity from heavy light during the daytime.
Carrots aren't the key to good vision
"Eat your carrots for good eyesight!" everyone has heard the myth. But, carrots will not improve your visual acuity if you have poor vision. A carrot diet will not help any blind person to get the vision. However, the vitamins found in the vegetable can aid overall eye health.
For some situations, polarized isn't the greatest option
Polarized lenses are not appropriate for everyone. When looking through polarized lenses, some people feel dizziness or see images disoriented. Others claim that everything appears three-dimensional. Furthermore, some polarized lenses are marketed to help with glare reduction while driving. However, it would help if you do not use it at night because they block some light. Polarized lenses can also make icy patches on the road harder to see.
You keep your eye drops in the wrong place
Keep your eye drops cool and out of direct sunlight. You must keep some eye drops in the refrigerator; if this is the case, keep them in their original packaging and do not allow them to freeze.
Conclusion
It is always better to note down the things which you want to ask your optometrist, or else your optometrist may miss those points to discuss with you.
