We are all concerned about another COVID 19 quarantine as coronavirus cases are back on the rise. Worried citizens are buying up home essentials like toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies. Don't forget to include the top 5 essential eyecare products to keep your eyes healthy and safe!

1. Artificial Tears

We spend a lot of time on phones and computers during mandatory COVID quarantine. Increased screentime leads to blinking which worsens dry eye. Stock up on eye lubricants to provide extra comfort when you decide to Netflix and chill (or Zoom!).

2. Eye masks

We are NOT recommending to put a face mask over your eyes.

Special eye masks heal your eyes for recovery after a long day in the home office.

Heated eye masks: Warmth and comfort helps to improve tears.

Cooling eye masks: Designed to sooth and relax while getting rid of wrinkles!

Side note: COVID face shields (optional). Provides minimal protection over glasses but both are significantly less effective than everyone wearing a face mask for coronavirus.

3. Eye Wash

A few bottles of saline solution could be sight-saving if you accidentally spill that year-supply of cleaning products near your eyes. The pH in cleaning products can cause permanent corneal damage or blindness without any immediate discomfort. Rinse liberally until you can consult with a local eyecare provider.

4. Contact lenses, solutions, (and cases)

Contact lenses and solutions are important for obvious reasons. Did you know the case should be replaced every 3 months or sooner? Consider limiting contact lens wear altogether to help minimize touching your eyes when COVID quarantined.

5. An extra pair of H.EYE glasses!

The last thing you want during coronavirus quarantine is to lose or break your glasses. Consider ordering a backup pair of H.EYE glasses in case of emergency. You might find yourself wearing them more than your regular pair! Use code "heye2020blog" for an additional 15% off your first purchase.
