In my experience, use of the term “visual hygiene” in the exam room tends to be met with a certain degree of confusion. Invoking images of a thorough scrub and rinse for the eyeballs, it probably wasn’t the best way for us as Optometrists to have termed such a critical concept to discuss with our patients. At its core, visual hygiene is about ensuring that the visual system is allowed to operate in the most optimal and comfortable conditions possible – which does however invoke the parallels with cleanliness and hygiene intended by the phrase.
