According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), more than 11 million Americans have common vision problems that can be corrected with the use of prescriptive eyewear such as glasses or contact lenses. Even if you are gifted with good vision, it is important to maintain good eye health. The professionals at Integrity Eye Associates can assist you with all your eye care needs from thorough eye examinations to expert optical care. Our office provides a premier selection of designer eyewear, prescription glasses and more!
Other things one can do to keep healthy:
Discover your Optical Genealogy
If you have seen your siblings, parents, uncles, aunts or grandparents using prescription eyeglasses in their early or later year, there’s a chance there may be some predisposition lurking in the gene pool. The more you learn about your history, the more prepared you’ll be for any eye issues.
Regular Visits to Primary Care Doctors
Though you may not realize it, your overall health can affect your eye health. High blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol can lead to eye diseases that can permanently lead to vision loss. Along with scheduling your yearly eye exam, don’t forget to schedule an appointment for your yearly physical.
Be Mindful of Your Eyes
Do your eyes itch, burn or water? These may be signs of dry eyes. Dry eye is a common condition in the United States, affecting an estimated 4.88 million Americans age 50 and older. Of these, over 3 million are women, and 1.68 million are men. Although more common with age, it can affect anyone. The symptoms may be acute or chronic and can affect not just your comfort but also your vision. With proper treatment, the symptoms can easily be maintained to provide a better lifestyle.
Stretch your Lungs, Arms, and Legs
Physical activity can do a body good! Keep your body healthy, and this results in a healthier eye!
