Using computers and other screens have become a way of life for most Americans. While the convenience is undeniable, there are associated costs, and one of them is how it affects our eyes. Looking at electronic devices causes our blink rate to drastically reduce. The American Academy of Ophthalmology reports that while we normally blink about 15 times per minute, when looking at a digital screen, that number falls to 5-7 times per minute. Blinking keeps the cornea lubricated and a lower blink rate can lead to dryer eyes. For those spending long periods of time in front of a screen, using artificial tears is recommended. #SurfaceOphthalmics #DryEyeDisease #DryEyeTreatment #ophthalmology #optometry Surface Ophthalmics Source: https://lnkd.in/drwrKNw

👁️🗨️ Serous Chorioretinopathy - don’t see one for ages then you see two in a week. 🚌🚌 . “Central serous chorioretinopathy is when fluid builds up under the retina. This can distort vision. The fluid leakage comes from a layer of tissue under the retina, called the choroid. The layer of cells between retina and choroid is called the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). When RPE does not work as it should, fluid builds up under the retina or the RPE resulting in a small detachment and visual distortion“ . 📖 - https://lnkd.in/d_9G8Qpj . 📷 - Triton OCT Topcon Healthcare Europe Topcon Healthcare Topcon (Great Britain) Medical . 📍TK&S OPTOMETRISTS Brian Tompkins . #optomegeek #instagram #TKSeyeCARE #optometrist #independentprescriber #optometry #eye #specialists #eyecareprofessionals #optometria #eyecare #ophthalmology #ophthalmologist #eyehealth #contactlens #optician #eyeexam #optometryschool #optometrystudent #nofilter #medicalimaging #photooftheday #photograph #love #follow #inclinictoday
