Our eyes are one of our most valuable assets. Good vision allows us to learn, work, drive, read, appreciate beauty, and enjoy daily life. Yet many of us take our eyesight for granted. Taking basic steps to protect our vision is essential for healthy eyes and sharp sight.

Why Eye Care Matters

• Vision loss can significantly impact quality of life. In the US, over 3.4 million people are visually impaired (National Eye Institute). Common causes include cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration.  

• Many eye diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy have no warning signs at first (American Academy of Ophthalmology). Early detection through regular eye exams allows earlier treatment, protecting vision.  

• Our eyes change with age. Vision problems are more likely after age 40. Annual comprehensive eye exams by an ophthalmologist help track any changes or issues (American Optometric Association).

Simple Tips for Healthy Eyes

Follow this easy routine for keeping your eyes in good shape:   

• Blink frequently. Blinking spreads tears to lubricate eyes and reduces strain. Make an effort to blink more when using screens (American Academy of Ophthalmology). 

• Take regular breaks when looking at digital screens. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds to reduce eyestrain (American Optometric Association).
