Vision Express Shares 4 Steps on How To Take Care of Your Eyes

Today, over 90% of the population spends at least two hours a day focusing on a digital display. The amount of time drastically rises among young professionals, who are more likely to rely on digital devices for both work and recreation.
However, it has been discovered that all digital screens – be it televisions, smart phones, computer screens, or simple LED displays- emit HEV (High Energy Visible), or what is commonly known as blue light. Exposure to blue light has been positively linked to digital eyestrain, poor quality of sleep, and in extreme cases, increases the risk of macular degeneration and retinal disease.
Children are particularly vulnerable since the lens on their eyes are more transparent, allowing in more blue light from tv screens, tablets and so on.

Blue light emitted by these digital devices are filtered by the “natural sunglasses of the eyes” called Lutein. Lutein naturally absorbs the harmful HEV blue light, protecting our eyes from the risk of having central vision loss and retinal disease. However, our eyes cannot naturally produce this nutrient. Our bodies can only absorb it by eating green leafy vegetables and colorful fruits.
This 2018, take steps to protect your visual health by taking these simple steps:
  1. Change your focus. When spending a lot of time in front of your device, remember to change your visual focus every so often by looking away at something in the distance.
  2. Minimize the glare. You can do this by sitting in an area with adequate lighting adjusting the light emitted by your screen.
  3. Refresh your eyes with artificial tears when you notice that they are getting dry.
  4. Consult with an optometrist about protective lenses such as Shamir Blue Zero, specifically made from a unique polymer formula that filters and absorbs blue light to protect your eyes, similar to what Lutein does to our eyes. This built-in defense from pervasive blue light is exclusively available at all Vision Express outlets.
Worried that Shamir Blue Zero will interfere with your view of the world? Don’t be. The lens is completely clear, eliminating any unsightly discoloration and remaining comfortable in all light conditions, indoor and out. It even provides UV protection by effectively absorbing harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Don’t wait to protect your eyes

Begin 2018 with a commitment to better vision. Take advantage of Vision Express’ end of season sale to check out the Shamir Blue Zero lens. Happening until February 28, it’s a great opportunity to get these uniquely superior lenses at a great price. Make sure you drop by a branch soon and secure your visual health!

Eight reasons to date a treehugger - Let's hug trees together

What do Leo DiCaprio, Ian Somerhalder, Lily Allen and Gisele Bundchen have in common? Of course, apart from being incredibly gorgeous, they’re also treehuggers! And if their advocacies are not enough to convince you, here are eight really good reasons why you should look for these passionate individuals:




1. They’re caring. They’re definitely not afraid to show their soft side. Just like their mission to nurture the trees and protect the forests, they know how to care for those that have been hurt and taken for granted. Parang ikaw.



2. They’re passionate and they fight for what they believe in. They are outspoken and opinionated. When push comes to shove, they will fight for what’s right. Whether it’s protecting the forests or fixing relationship troubles, hinding hindi ka nila bibitawan.



3. They are socially responsible. They always like to give back to those in need, living a life of mindfulness and sensitivity towards social issues, and staunchly advocating the causes they support. In other words, bigay lang sila ng bigay kahit hindi sila nage-expect ng kapalit.



4. They will take you on meaningful adventures. To them, Palawan is not just a summer getaway, it’s a landscape that has ecological significance and is rich in biodiversity. They don’t just travel for the sake of taking pretty selfies, they travel with a purpose -- willing to travel far and wide to grow trees and help forest-dependent communities. In short, hindi sila takot sa LDR.



5. They’re more than willing to go the extra mile. They’re the type who would volunteer for eco-friendly activities or participate in forest conservation movements. They’re always willing to share their time, effort, and commitment for something they’re passionate about, whether it’s for protecting the forests or spending time with you. Effort, bes, effort.



6. Life with them is never boring. Of course, part of being socially responsible also means that they’re in the loop with the latest rumblings around the world. They will be the first to know of any issues affecting you or the environment. That’s why life with them is always filled with excitement and a sense of purpose. For sure, mas exciting sa ex mo.



7. They’re a great source of comfort. We all know that it is scientifically proven that hugging has a lot of health benefits. But did you also know that hugging trees is also scientifically proven to improve your health? So, why not hug trees together? May excuse ka na rin para i-hug si crush!



8. They’re making the world a better place. Through all their personal advocacies, forest conservation activities, and even those quirky eco-friendly initiatives they ascribe to -- everything they do and work for is ultimately so we can have a clean, green, and sustainable future. Parang yung future niyo lang.

That’s why a group of treehuggers have banded together to start the Best Friends of the Forest Movement (BFF Movement), a community driven by youth advocates that aim to inspire people to protect and conserve the Philippines’ forests. Think you’re a treehugger? Join the movement on March 21, 2018! Malay mo, makasama mo pa si crush.
