Taking care of your eyes should be a priority just like eating healthy. An annual comprehensive eye exam can provide early detection of many common eye problems or diseases. Children aged 3 to 5 should have a vision screening to find common conditions such as amblyopia or lazy eye.

Importance of eye exam:- This is more than just a vision screening. An eye care professional (Optometrist) places drops in each eye to dilate the pupil. This illuminates the back of the eyes so that patient can see signs of damage or disease. Most people don’t realize their vision could be improved with glasses. A dilated eye exam is the only way to detect the diseases in their early stages.
Use protective eyewear:- Eye injuries or eye diseases can happen during near work while playing games prevent those problems from happening by wearing protective eyewear. Use safety glasses, goggles.

If you smoke you can develop serious eye diseases that can cause vision loss or blindness, macular degeneration, cataracts. Smokers with diabetes are at greater risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. These can damage blood vessels in our eyes. Smokers are also to develop dry eye syndrome, eyes may look red. If smokers notice any changes in their vision they should see an Optometrist.
Take a break:- When using a phone, computer or any electronic screen reduce eye strain with the 20-20-20 rule like every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds.
