As May wraps up and we step into the bright days of summer, it’s the perfect time to focus on one of the most important—and often overlooked—aspects of your health: your eyes. At Eye Physicians of North Houston, we’re committed to helping you enjoy the season with clear, protected vision using the most advanced eye care solutions in Spring, TX.
Why Summer Eye Care Matters
Increased sunlight, rising temperatures, and more time outdoors can all affect your eye health. Whether planning vacations, poolside relaxation, or yard work, protecting your eyes should be part of your routine.
Here’s how summer can impact your eyes:
- UV exposure increases the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
- Dry eye symptoms can worsen in hot, windy, or air-conditioned environments.
- Infections are common when swimming and doing outdoor activities.
Quick Tips to Protect Your Vision This Summer
- Wear UV-protective sunglasses – Look for lenses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.
- Use artificial tears to combat dry eyes, especially after swimming or flying.
- Wash your hands and avoid touching your eyes to prevent irritation or infection.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat for extra sun protection.
Don’t Overlook the Risks: Common Summer Eye Conditions
While summer is a time to relax, it’s also when many people experience preventable eye issues. As leading Houston eye specialists, we often treat patients with the following conditions:
- Photokeratitis – a type of sunburn for the eyes caused by UV rays.
- Allergic conjunctivitis – summer allergens like pollen can irritate your eyes.
- Chlorine-related irritation – pool chemicals can cause redness, dryness, and discomfort.
- Digital eye strain – longer daylight hours often mean more screen time.
Our team is dedicated to offering comprehensive eye exams and tailored treatment plans to help you stay ahead of these seasonal issues.
Plan Ahead: Schedule Your Eye Exam
Summer is one of the best times to schedule your annual eye exam—especially before kids head back to school or before vacation travel ramps up. At Eye Physicians of North Houston, we provide expert care with advanced diagnostic tools and a compassionate team that treats you like family.
Enjoy every sunny moment safely and confidently.
