WHAT YOU CAN DO TO KEEP HEALTHY EYES

After the age of forty, many are prone to develop an eye condition. Depending on what has caused the disease, people can experience a range of vision problems that could have them to:

• Sit close to the TV than they did before

• Hold the newspaper or book farther away from the eyes

• Constantly have difficulty reading print

• Have a hard time seeing a night, particularly when behind the wheel of a car

These are just a few issues that can occur when people age. While certain circumstances are inevitable, you can take a few measures to protect your eyes as you age, such as:

Try to make sure that the lighting of any electronic screen is similar to the background light to prevent eye strain

• Be sure to remember to take breaks from using electronic devices

• Make certain to see an eye doctor on a regular basis to ensure that all aspects of visual and eye health are addressed

• Wear the right shades when outside to prevent damaged eyes from UV ray exposure
