5 Tips For Younger-Looking Eyes

There are lots of perks to getting older... Retirement, travel, stability, grandkids, etc. However, few of us want to look older.

One of the first places we show our age is in the skin around our eyes. Good habits can keep us looking younger longer!

1. Get Your Beauty Sleep

While we sleep our body renews and refreshes our cells. Without this nightly renewal, the delicate skin around our eyes thins. The stress will show up as puffiness, or shadows under eyes.

2. Protect Yourself From The Sun

Make sure to apply sunscreen and wear sunglasses. Even when it’s not hot outside, UV rays can cause lasting damage. In addition, sunglasses will protect you from excessive squinting in the bright light. Talk to a Vision Source practice about your options for polarized, protective eyewear.

3. Pamper Your Eyes

Soothe your eyes with a cold compress to reduce puffiness and dark circles. The combination of coolness and moisture reduces blood flow to your eyes and alleviates swelling. You can use cucumber slices, too, or even chilled teaspoons.

4. Eat An Eye-Healthy Diet

  • Foods high in Vitamin C like strawberries, oranges, and leafy greens protect against wrinkles and dry skin, as well as cataracts and macular degeneration.
  • Antioxidants like those found in green tea and berries are needed to fight inflammation and protect against pollutants and aging.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flax seeds and walnuts help both your skin and eyes by regulating the fluid in your body.

5. Update Your Look!

New lenses can make you feel like you have a new lease on life! Outdated frames tend to age us much more than we realize. A stylish new pair will frame your face in a whole new way. Find a Vision Source practice near you, and try on some exciting new frames.

What Our Clients Say

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Patricia G.

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids.

Fred S.

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

Sheila S.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience.

Bill S.

Deborah C.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.
