"Yesterday Amy shared some great tips to keep your eyes healthy, so I thought I&amp;#039;d add one more to the list: If you wear contacts, remember to change them on time! It seems so basic, but that&amp;#039;s the best way to avoid protein buildup and infection. I&amp;#039;ve written before about LensAlert, a holder for your contact lens case that has a timer built in. It&amp;#039;s great and very affordable (about $10), but if you&amp;#039;re looking for a totally free option check out Acuminder.com. In a few quick steps, you can register and arrange to receive emails or text messages that alert you when it&amp;#039;s time to change your lenses, order new ones or see your eye doctor for a checkup. (If you wear glasses and/or contacts, you should get checked once a year.) With allergy season just around the corner, I&amp;#039;m trying to be extra-diligent about taking care of my my eyes. Another product I love: Visine Total Eye Soothing Wipes. I use them every night to remove eye makeup as well as allergens that can irritate sensitive eyes like mine. The best part: no oily residue. They cost a little more than other eye makeup remover pads (about $6 for 30 pads) but nothing else works as well for me. Do your eyes get easily irritated? What products do you rely on to help keep them healthy? \u2014Barbara Brody, Health Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
