Resolve to See Better in 2007
'What can I do to see better or to protect my precious eyesight?'
My personal meta-analysis of our WebMD Vision & Eye Disorders message board has determined that to be the most commonly asked question.
There's no better time to make a resolution to keep your eyesight crisp and your eyes comfortable all year long.
Here's all you need to do:
- Everybody: Have regular eye exams
- Smokers: Stop smoking!
- Everybody: Watch your weight and your blood pressure
- Diabetics: Control your blood glucose
- Everybody: Take a daily multivitamin loaded with antioxidants
- Athletes: Use protective eyewear made of durable polycarbonate
- Everybody: Wear sunglasses with 100% UVA/UVB protection
- Young males: Stay away from firecrackers
- Everybody: Know your family history for glaucoma and other eye disorders
- Travelers: Frequently apply artificial tears when in-flight
- Everybody: Wash your hands frequently
By observing the above precautions you give yourself the best possible protection against the leading, treatable eye problems: refractive errors, glaucoma, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, eye trauma, pink eye (conjunctivitis), dry eyes, diabetic retinopathy, ischemic eye disease, and eyelid skin cancers.
WebMD wishes everybody a healthy and visually stimulating 2007!
