EYE CARE Q: How can I keep my eyes healthy when traveling? A: When traveling by airplane I recommend bringing artificial tears due Dr. Lauren Hazelton Optometrist to the dry air and prefer preservative free drops if using more than three to four times per day. It is important to stay hydrated, so don't forget to drink water before, during and after travel. When traveling in the car and/or airplane be sure to turn air vents away from your face. Contact lenses dry the eye out, so I recommend traveling with glasses instead. Don't forget sunglasses to protect the eyes from ultraviolet light. If you suffer from dry eyes it is important to talk to your doctor or schedule an appointment with us to discuss more ways to keep your eyes healthy while traveling. WHELAN Eye Care 1900 DIVISION ST.
