When was the last time you had your eyes tested? Or gave your eye health a seconds thought? Most optometrists recommend eye checkups every 1-2 years depending on your requirements. So, if you’re planning on heading abroad to travel or to work then you need to take your eye health seriously.<\/p>\n

Its easy for things like eye tests and vision check-ups to take a back seat when we\u2019re on the other side of the world, however keeping on top of your eye health and looking after your vision will ensure that your trip abroad won\u2019t be cut short by eye-pressure issues, changes in your glasses prescription or even glaucoma and cataracts. Discover more information about looking after your eyes when traveling and working abroad below.<\/p>\n

The Importance of Glasses<\/strong>
\nWearing contact lenses is fine, however, it’s important to give your eyes a break from time to time and wear a good pair of glasses. If your job abroad involves lots of staring at a screen or going through important paperwork, then a high-quality pair of reading glasses<\/a> is crucial to protect your eyes from strain. Having an additional pair of glasses is also a good idea, in case you damage your contact lenses, or you lose your other pair of glasses. No one wants to be stranded abroad and not be able to see properly!<\/p>\n

These days, glasses aren\u2019t just great for protecting your eyes and helping you see properly, they’re also great fashion accessories that can complement your look and style. <\/p>\n

Protect your Eyes from the Sun<\/strong>
\nWhen we think of sun protection<\/a> it\u2019s normal to think of sun cream, sun hats and \"\" drinking plenty of water but when you\u2019re traveling and working abroad protecting your eyes from the sun is just as important. Invest in a good pair of sunglasses to keep your eyes safe from damaging UV rays, sunglasses are ideal if you\u2019re working outdoors in the sun for long periods.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, you can still get UV ray protection with elegant and statement sunglasses, so if you\u2019re feeling a little fashion conscious then you\u2019re sure to find something to match your style.<\/p>\n

Stay Protected in the Water<\/strong>
\nWorking at a water park? Or spending some time in the pool on your day off? Chlorine and saltwater can play havoc with your eyes, leaving them dry and irritated. Always remember to wear goggles when engaging in work or play at the waterside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
