Periods of stress are often unavoidable, but the problem is exacerbated when these periods are prolonged and accompanied by bad habits. Here are some tips on how to avoid stress-related vision problems and how to deal with them if you wear contact lenses.

Moisturise your eyes. As we have seen, stress can cause dry eyes. The use of artificial tears, especially if you are a contact lens wearer, is important to combat dry eye symptoms. Daily use of silicone hydrogel contact lenses helps to maintain hydration. Our team of opticians recommend everclear ELITE.
20-20-20 rule. Eye fatigue is another condition we can suffer. To combat its symptoms, we can take breaks every 20 minutes to look for 20 seconds at a fixed point 20 feet away. This exercise will relieve the stress on your eyes, and if not you can also try these other eye exercises.
Visual hygiene. Stress, combined with poor eye hygiene, can be disastrous. Wearing daily contact lenses makes eye hygiene easier and you can dispose of them at any time.
Healthy diet. A balanced diet and incorporating good-for-your-eyes foods can prevent stress peaks from affecting eye health.
Rest and sport. An active life, away from screens and a sedentary lifestyle, and a good daily rest, will give your physical and visual health the care they need.
Eye exams. It is important to have an eye test every 2 years. In addition, if you suffer from any of the above symptoms for a long period, it is important to visit your ophthalmologist to prevent eye health problems.
