Vision health affects every aspect of life. Protect your vision with the following tips:

• Ensure sufficient daily intake of vitamins C and E and Omega-3 fatty acids.
• Schedule regular eye exams.
• Stop smoking.
• Wear sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection to protect eyes from ultraviolet rays.
• Manage diseases such as diabetes and high-blood pressure, which affect eye health. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults.
• Allow time for eyes to rest. Look away from computer and TV screens to reduce eye strain.
• Use prescription eye medications as prescribed to treat specific eye diseases and prevent further damage.
