Your eyes are an important part of your health. There are many things you can do to keep them healthy and make sure you are seeing your best. Follow these simple steps for maintaining healthy eyes well into your golden years. When it comes to common vision problems, some people don’t realize they could see better with glasses or contact lenses. In addition, many common eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and age-related macular degeneration often have no warning signs. A dilated eye exam is the only way to detect these diseases in their early stages. During a comprehensive dilated eye exam, eye care professional places drops into eyes to dilate, or widen, the pupil to allow more light to enter the eye the same way an open door lets more light into a dark room. This enables your eye care professional to get a good look at the back of the eyes and examine them for any signs of damage or disease. Eye care professional is the only one who can determine if your eyes are healthy and if you’re seeing your best.

Some of the precautions you need to take for preventing eye problems are: Eat for good Vision, Quit Smoking, Wear Sunglasses, Use safety eye wears while working with hazardous material, avoid extent use of computer screen, blink maximum time, avoid keeping eye dry etc.
