Tips to Maintain Healthy Eyesight in Medinah

Medinah’s changing Midwest climate and digital lifestyles create unique challenges and opportunities for protecting your eyesight year-round:

  • Be Proactive with Allergies
    Spring and fall pollen counts can cause itchy, watery eyes. Rinse with preservative-free artificial tears, use cold compresses, and ask about prescription allergy drops during your exam—especially if you wear contact lenses.
  • Embrace Digital Eye Wellness
    With most Medinah residents now working remotely or attending classes online, digital eye strain is increasingly common. Remember the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Our team can recommend blue-light filtering lens solutions for extra comfort.
  • Always Wear Sunglasses—Even on Cloudy Days
    UV protection is a must, regardless of sunshine. Medinah’s outdoor lovers—golfers, hikers, and cyclists—should ask us about premium polarized prescription lenses from top designers for eye health and style.
  • Don’t Skip Your Annual Eye Exam
    Early detection matters for conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetes-related retinopathy. Even if you see well, adult Medinah residents should schedule comprehensive exams yearly, and children should get tested before starting school and then regularly as they grow.
