Four Tips for Healthy Eyes

1. Get an annual eye exam. An eye doctor can detect problems before you notice them, when they may be easier to treat.
2. Protect you eyes from sunlight. Wear sunglasses that cover your eyes fully and wrap around the sides of your head to provide side protection. Check that the lenses protect against UV-A and UV-B radiation, that can increase your risk of developing cataracts.
3. Eating more green vegetables and fruits will keep your eyes and the rest of your body healthier.
4. Stop smoking, or don’t start. Smoking increases your risk of several eye problems, including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, Dry Eye Syndrome, and age-related macular degeneration.
