PREVENTION AND PROTECTION

 

Prevention at a Glance

 

When it comes to caring for the eye, prevention is essential.

 

  • Schedule a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year for proper vision care.*
  • Wear glasses and sunglasses with 100% UV protection to help prevent conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
  • Frequent headaches are a common symptom of eye problems. If you have them, consider getting an eye exam.*
  • Don't put contact lenses in your mouth to clean them. Your mouth might contain bacteria and viruses that could easily spread to your eyes.

Concerned about eye protection?

 

FOLLOW THESE VISION HEALTH TIPS:

  • Wear plastic safety glasses when mowing the yard, working in the shop, playing sports, or riding a motorcycle.
  • Blink more. You can strain your eyes by staring at a computer screen for too long. Look up, blink, focus on something across the room, and then get back to business.
  • If your eyes are dry and irritated, don’t use products that claim to soothe redness. Instead, use artificial tears.
