10 Eye Health Tips

WebMD Feature from Woman’s Day – by Amanda Green

 

Preventing eye disease is important, so don’t wait until you have a problem to start caring for your eye health.  Often, by the time you have symptoms of trouble it may already be too late.  Here are 5 tips (from a list of 10) you can do now to preserve your eye health.  Stay tuned for numbers 6 through 10 in the next article.

 


     1.       Get regular eye exams – An AOA (American Optometric Assoc.) survey discovered that 85% of folks valued their eye-site most, but less than half get an eye exam within 2 or 3 years.

     2.       Provide your eye doctor with your medical history – Make sure that your eye doctor is made aware of any medical issues, such as hypertension and diabetes.  Many medical issues can affect your eye health.

     3.       Be aware and control your home or office air quality – Heat systems in the winter months can dry out your skin as well as your eyes.  You may want to consider a humidifier.  Also pet hair can cause allergic reactions and their hair can carry outside irritants.

     4.       Keep a supply of Saline Solution at home – It’s good practice to have saline on hand in case of accidental eye contact with at home cleaning products such as bleach or ammonia.

     5.       Replace contact lens case at least once every 2 or 3 months – To lessen bacteria build up, clean your case regularly.
