Just because a beauty trend is popular doesn’t mean it’s the best choice for your eye health. 👇

Here are 3 trends I’d think twice about as an eye doctor:

✨ Eyelash extensions: They can increase your risk of irritation and make it harder to keep your lash line clean.

✨ Waterline eyeliner: Applying liner here can block the tiny oil glands that help keep your eyes naturally lubricated, contributing to dryness and discomfort.

✨ Lash serums with prostaglandin analogs: While they can promote lash growth, they may also cause side effects like redness, eyelid darkening, and permanent changes around the eyes.

That doesn’t mean you can never wear makeup. It just means understanding the risks so you can make informed choices and keep your eyes healthy.

Which of these surprised you the most? 👀

Not all contact lenses are created for the same eyes. 👀

Scleral lenses are specialty contact lenses designed for patients with unique vision needs. They can be a life-changing option for those with keratoconus, severe dry eye, corneal scars, high astigmatism, irregular corneas, a history of corneal transplant, or difficulty wearing traditional contact lenses!

Unlike regular contact lenses, scleral lenses are designed to vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye. They also hold a reservoir of fluid against the eye, helping improve comfort while providing clearer, more stable vision for many patients. 👏

If you’ve struggled with traditional contact lenses, you may have more options than you think.

Trying to choose between “1 or 2?” can feel like a lot of pressure, but here’s something we want every patient to know…

There isn’t always a “right” answer. 😊

If the choices look the same, that’s completely okay. In fact, telling us they look the same or that you’re unsure is often just as helpful as choosing one.

Here’s what’s really happening:
👁️ At Eyes on 3rd, we’re fine-tuning your prescription, often making very small adjustments.
👁️ The test is subjective, so your feedback helps guide the process.
👁️ If two options look equally clear, saying so gives us valuable information.
👁️ You don’t have to guess. Honest answers lead to the most comfortable prescription for your eyes.

So the next time you hear, “Which is better, 1 or 2?” don’t stress. We’re working together to find the prescription that gives you your best, most comfortable vision!

There are a lot of myths about glasses that have been passed down for years, and many of them simply aren’t true. Let’s set the record straight. 👇

❌ Wearing glasses makes your eyes weaker.
✅ Glasses don’t make your vision worse. They simply correct your vision so you can see clearly.

❌ You only need glasses if your vision is blurry.
✅ Frequent headaches, eye strain, trouble focusing, and difficulty seeing at night can also be signs you need prescription eyewear.

❌ Designer glasses are just paying for the logo.
✅ Premium frames are often made with higher-quality materials, better craftsmanship, and a more precise fit for lasting comfort and durability.

❌ If your glasses still work, you don’t need an eye exam.
✅ Your vision and eye health can change gradually, even if you haven’t noticed a difference. Regular comprehensive eye exams help catch changes early.

❌ Online glasses fit just as well as professionally fitted ones.
✅ A proper fit affects more than comfort. It helps ensure your lenses are positioned correctly so you get the best possible vision.

We promise… we’re not judging. 😅 But we do see these habits all the time.

A few small changes can make a big difference for your eye health:

👁️ Sleeping in your contacts
👁️ Rubbing your eyes too often
👁️ Skipping sunglasses with 100% UV protection
👁️ Ignoring dry eye symptoms
👁️ Waiting until your vision gets blurry to schedule an eye exam

The good news is, every one of these habits is easy to improve, and your eyes will thank you for it.

Which one are you guilty of? Be honest… we won’t tell. 👀

Living in South Florida means sunshine is part of everyday life. While people travel here to enjoy our beautiful weather, that also means our eyes are exposed to strong UV rays year-round. 😎

Many people don’t realize that UV exposure can increase the risk of eyelid skin cancer, making daily sun protection just as important for your eyes as it is for your skin. ✅

Choose sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, and wear them every time you head outside, even on cloudy days. Your future eyes will thank you!

Do you know if your sunglasses provide 100% UV protection?

If you’re not sure, schedule an appointment with us. We’ll help you find sunglasses that not only look great but also give your eyes the protection they deserve.
