EYE CARE

The American Ophthalmologist Association recommends a full eye exam every three to five years. Many eye conditions have no symptoms so a check by an Ophthalmologist every three to five years is recommended or whenever one feels changes in vision and feels an exam is necessary.

Remember how important your eyes are and always wear eye protection when working with chemicals. Household bleach and cleaners are very caustic when splashed into an eye, and require immediate emergency treatment. Safety goggles or shields are a must when doing metal and woodworking.

Proper nutrition is key. Fresh fruits and vegetables not only benefit your body with proper nourishment to keep it healthy but there are many essential minerals found in these foods to keep your eyes strong and healthy also. These vegetables are lettuce, green peas, broccoli, and spinach to name just a few. Limiting foods high in cholesterol and saturated fats and focusing on lean meats and seafood is also a good idea.

In the mean time wearing your glasses and keeping them in top-notch condition will
enhance your vision. UV protection is also important to eye health as the UV rays have a direct connection to cataract formation. Many lens options are available with UV protection so be sure to ask. The professional Opticians at Visions One Hour Optical can help you with your questions related to UV protection.
