Our vision is one of those wonderful gifts
most of us take for granted. The only time we even have cause to think
about our vision as such is when we think about a blind person who has
no vision at all, or our own vision begins to fail us. Being aware of
the importance of protecting your vision can help you to avoid problems
with it in the future. Your eyes care a part of the body like the skin
that you can do things to slow the aging process of using certain
precautions that take little time to implement and can make a world of
difference later in life.
Eye
Care is an important factor in all of our lives. We sometimes take
sight for granted but can you imagine not being able to see everyday
things normally. Imagine not being able to see your kids, too watch TV,
too take a walk and see all of nature is beauties. People with certain
eye diseases are not able to enjoy these experiences to their full
extent and sometimes not at all.
There
are many eye diseases that can be prevented or whose progression can be
slowed down with proper precautions and healthy eating. Eating a lot of
Vitamins A, E, C, and some Zinc and Selenium can help prevent many
diseases including those that affect the eyes. Visit the nutrition page
on what foods contain these vitamins and minerals. Certain diseases
might be causes by other factors such as obesity, diabetics, exposure
to ultraviolet light, smoking, certain medications such as steroids,
and many other factors.
It
is a good idea to ask your eye care doctor for specific steps you can
take. People with obesity or who are diabetic should have more routine
checkups since they are more likely to develop certain eye diseases.
Those
who are outside most of the day should use protective sunglasses or
eyeglasses to prevent heavy exposure to ultraviolet light. People who
smoke or take certain medications should ask their doctor if they are
more likely to have eye diseases because of family background. These
little measures can help your eyes healthy and keep all the emotional,
physical, and financial problems that come with eye problems away.
By
having a regular check-up and wearing glasses or contact lenses if you
need them, you can prevent problems with your eyes in the future.
