While school is out, screen time usually goes up. 📱👀 But did you know that uncontrolled myopia (nearsightedness) is about more than just needing thicker glasses?

Progressive myopia can increase the risk of serious eye health conditions later in life, including retinal problems, glaucoma, and other vision complications.

This summer is the perfect time to prioritize your child’s long-term eye health. Schedule a myopia management consultation at Watertown Eye to learn about treatment options that may help slow myopia progression and protect healthy vision for the future.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but lake water and contact lenses are a total nightmare combo. 🌊👀

Bacteria, parasites, and other harmful microorganisms can cling to your contact lenses while swimming — increasing your risk for painful and potentially serious eye infections.

If you’re heading to the lake, pool, or beach this summer, protect your vision with prescription swim goggles instead of wearing contacts in the water. 🏖️🩴

Your eyes will thank you later!

You wouldn’t spend 6 hours in the June sun without SPF — so why leave your eyes unprotected? ☀️🕶️

Your corneas are extremely sensitive to harmful UV rays, and too much sun exposure can lead to irritation, dryness, and that uncomfortable “gritty” feeling.

Protect your eyes this summer with a wide-brimmed hat and quality polarized sunglasses that block UV rays while keeping your vision comfortable and clear.

Healthy eyes deserve sun protection, too! 👀

With school out for summer, it’s tempting to stay glued to the iPad — but your child’s eyes need sunshine, too! ☀️👀📱

Spending time outdoors helps support healthy vision development in children. Natural outdoor light triggers dopamine release in the retina, which acts like a natural brake for myopia (nearsightedness) progression.

This summer, make outdoor play a top priority and give growing eyes a healthy break from screens. 🌳⚽🚴

Healthy habits today can help protect your child’s vision for the future!

We all know to wear sunscreen, but how often are you thinking about your eyes? ☀️🕶️

Prolonged UV exposure is a major contributor to cataract development and other long-term eye health issues. Think of your sunglasses as sunscreen for your retinas and lenses.

Not all sunglasses provide the protection your eyes truly need. Make sure your shades are doing the job with professional-grade, UV-rated lenses from Watertown Eye.

Protect your vision today so your eyes stay healthier for years to come. 👀

Everyone talks about dry eyes in the winter, but summer “indoor wind” can be just as brutal. ❄️👀☀️

Blasting the AC at home, in the office, or in the car can dry out your eyes fast — pulling moisture right off the surface of your eyes and leaving them feeling irritated, gritty, and tired.

A quick drop of hydration with lubricating eye drops can bring fast relief and help keep your eyes comfortable all summer long.

If dry, irritated eyes are becoming a daily problem, we’re here to help. Stop by our office to learn more about dry eye relief options!

You drink water for your muscles and your skin — but what about your sight? 💧👀

Dehydration is one of the leading causes of mid-afternoon eye irritation, dryness, and that gritty feeling many people experience during the summer months.

Staying hydrated helps keep your natural tear film thick, comfortable, and protective all day long. So this summer, don’t forget: healthy eyes start with enough water! ☀️

Today we pause to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. 🇺🇸🌹

Memorial Day is a time for reflection, gratitude, and coming together with family and friends to remember those we have lost. Their courage and dedication are the foundation of the freedoms we enjoy today.

Please note that our office is closed today as our team takes this time to reflect and spend the holiday with their loved ones.

From ortho-k (overnight lenses) to MiSight® daily contacts and even specialized eye drops, there are effective options tailored to your child’s needs.

Summer is the perfect time to start! ☀️ It gives your child time to adjust before the new school year begins.

Give them the best view of the world possible. 🎒🌟
