If your eyes feel dry, tired, or irritated, this one is for you! The Bruder Moist Heat Eye Mask is a simple, spa-like way to give your eyes some relief at home.

Just microwave it for 20 to 25 seconds and rest it over your eyes for 8 to 10 minutes. The warmth helps open clogged oil glands so your natural oils can flow back onto your eyes, which is especially helpful for meibomian gland dysfunction, chronic dry eye, and dryness from contact lenses or long screen days. The heat also improves blood flow and circulation around the eyes and can help tighten skin, so tired, dark eyes look more refreshed.

Cleanup is easy too. The outer cloth is removable and washable, and the mask comes with saline wipes to clear dirt and oil from your eyelids before each use.

Ask us about the Bruder Moist Heat Eye Mask at your next visit, or call us at 417-470-EYES (3937).

Most eye injuries can be prevented. Thousands of people visit the emergency room every year for eye injuries, and many happen at home, at work, or during everyday activities. A few simple habits can make a big difference.

𝟭. 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿. Safety glasses or goggles are a must for yard work, home projects, and power tools, and sports eyewear helps for basketball, pickleball, and other fast-moving games.
𝟮. 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲. Household cleaners, lawn products, and even splashes from cooking can cause serious injury. Read labels, use products in a well-ventilated space, and keep them away from your face.
𝟯. 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝘂𝗯, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁. If something gets in your eye, avoid rubbing it. Rinse with clean water and call us right away, because quick care can protect your vision.

Kids don't always know what "normal" vision looks like, so they may not tell you when something's off. Watch for signs like frequent headaches, squinting, sitting close to the TV or holding books close to their face, excessive eye rubbing, or trouble concentrating on schoolwork.

A comprehensive eye exam can catch problems that school screenings often miss. The American Optometric Association recommends a first exam around 6 months old, another between ages 3 and 5, one before first grade, and yearly exams after that.

Our doctors love seeing our youngest patients! Call us at 417-470-EYES (3937) to schedule your child's exam, or visit https://bit.ly/BookEyeAppointments

We love a great Halloween costume! Just keep your eyes safe while you enjoy the fun.🎃

If your look includes costume contact lenses, get them with a valid prescription from a licensed eye care provider. Lenses from novelty shops or online sellers can scratch your eyes or cause serious infections, even if you have perfect vision. Also make sure masks and wigs don't block your view, and choose face paint labeled safe for use around the eyes.

Have questions about costume lenses or eye irritation after the festivities? Call us at 417-470-EYES (3937) or visit https://bit.ly/BookEyeAppointments

Happy Halloween from all of us! 👻

You're mid-conversation, minding your own business, and suddenly your eyelid starts twitching like it has somewhere to be. We've all been there, and the good news is it is usually nothing to worry about.

Eyelid twitches happen when the muscles in your eyelid spasm slightly, and they can last a minute, a few hours, or even a couple of days. Annoying, yes. Dangerous, usually not. A few common culprits tend to be behind these twitches, including being overly tired, feeling stressed, drinking a little too much caffeine, or having dry or irritated eyes.

The fix is often simpler than you might think. Get some good sleep, find ways to dial back stress, ease up on the coffee, and keep your eyes moisturized if dryness tends to be an issue. Most twitches will settle down on their own once you address the root cause.

If your eyelid twitching sticks around longer than usual or your eyes feel consistently gritty and uncomfortable, it is worth having us take a look. Give us a call at 417-470-EYES (3937) or visit https://bit.ly/BookEyeAppointments
