How hard are your patients’ eyes working?

Life is different today. It is faster. Many of us have internalised an ethic that pushes us to work and play as hard as possible.

In this driven environment, we charge from activity to activity. Our eyes jump from computer screens to smartphones to the person talking to us as we text; or we watch our child’s football game while jotting notes for work and simultaneously emailing on a tablet. Working as hard as we do, it is no wonder that we are often worn out at the end of such a demanding day.

Our eyes experience demanding days, too. The myriad activities we pursue – and the changing environments we experience as we go from home to car to work to sports to the movies and back home again – all affect our eyes. And millions of us do all this while wearing contact lenses.
