May is Healthy Vision Month
Approximately 37 million adults in America have age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma. All of theses conditions can cause visual impairment or blindness. However, recent studies show that making healthy choices and getting regular eye exams can help reduce a person’s risk of vision loss. In support of ‘Healty Vision Month’ in May, the American Academy of Ophthalmology is encouraging everyone to take charge of their eye health and preserve their sight by following some simple tips. When talking to our patients, remember eating the right foods, staying physically active and regular thorough eye examinations drastically reduce the chances or losing vision. |
