Keep your eyes
in top condition
Seeing is an incredibly powerful ability. Most of us rely on it for almost everything we do. Here are some steps you can take to protect your eyes – now and in the long term.
Know your family history - Some eye diseases can be genetic. Common hereditary eye conditions include age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. Early detection is often the key to successful management or treatment, so it is important to know your family’s health history.

Digital adjustment - It is important to protect your eyes against the potentially harmful effects of extended computer, laptop and smartphone use. Adjusting screen brightness, resolution and contrast, taking regular screen breaks and avoiding bright sunlight can help prevent the symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome.

Injury prevention - Common eye injuries can be avoided with the right eye protection. According to the American Academy of Optometry, half of eye injuries result from everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning, gardening and DIY. Some sports and outdoor activities, such as cycling, skiing and squash, also increase the risk of eye injury.
