Get outside and enjoy yourself

There is nothing like a brisk walk. A rousing game of tennis. An afternoon puttering in the garden. Most people try to make fitness a part of their daily routine. And often that means being outside.

Unfortunately, there are things out there that can be unkind to your eyes. Like pollen, sun and tennis balls. Fortunately, there are easy solutions. Like eye drops. Sunglasses. And sports goggles.

So be aware. Take the proper precautions. And enjoy.

Are your eyes runny, itchy and red?

When you are trying to relax on the porch but all you can do is think about your itchy, watery eyes, the problem might be allergies. Check with your doctor to find out for sure. For relief, try Bausch & Lomb's Opcon-A® Eye Drops. They have an antihistamine to block your eye's allergic reaction and to help stop the itching. Remember to remove your contact lenses before using Opcon-A Eye Drops.

There is more energy in a squash ball than a .22 caliber bullet.1 So even a minor injury can cause permanent damage. Don't take that chance—protect yourself with shatterproof plastic sports goggles. Make sure the label says polycarbonate and ASTM F803-88 and ANSI Z87.1. And always wear them for

  • Tennis
  • Squash
  • Racquetball
  • Woodworking
  • Mowing the lawn

 

Sunny news
