h e a l t h & W e l l b e i n G MEMORIES ARE MADE WITH THESE Boots Opticians, Ascot An eye check can give a good indication of the health of your eye, and can also sometimes spot the signs of underlying health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Anyone can develop sight problems, but some people have a higher risk of eye disease. It’s especially important to have regular eye checks if you are above 60 years old or from a family with a history of eye diseases. In our social media world it’s clear that a good proportion of our memories would be made up of images, so looking after your eyes is really important. It’s easy to neglect your eyes because they rarely hurt when there’s a problem. visiting an optician and having an eye check won’t just tell you if you need new glasses or a change of prescription, it’s also an important eye health check. It not only helps identify potential problems with your eyesight before they develop but also provides a window to your overall health, before you’re aware of any symptoms – many of which can be treated if found early enough. having reguLar eye CheCks It’s important to check your vision regularly, as your sight changes throughout your life, but eye checks reveal much more about your general health, than just how well you can see. Your eyes play a vital role throughout your life, so it is worth caring for them. Getting an eye health check at least every two years is a simple step you can take to care for your eyesight. And if you have children, they could be entitled to a free nHS funded eye check. PrOteCting yOur eyes Your eyes are exposed to light from a range of sources but in some cases this can be harmful to them. uv rays - Your eyes are up to ten times more sensitive to Uv damage from the sun than your skin is. never look at the sun directly, even when something exciting is happening, such as an eclipse. Doing so can cause irreversible damage to your eyesight and even lead to blindness. Several studies also suggest that sunlight exposure is a risk factor for cataracts. Protecting your children’s eyes, as well as your own, is particularly important as a large proportion of the eyes’ lifetime exposure to Uv can happen before the age of 18. Look for glasses carrying the CE mark, which ensures they offer a safe level of ultraviolet protection. Caring FOr yOur ChiLdren’s eyes As a parent you’ll want to give your child the best start in life, which is why looking after their eyes is important too, especially because they are still growing. Here are some simple ways to look after your child’s eyesight: • Children do not usually complain about their sight, but may show signs of not being able to see properly. • Things to look out for include sitting close to the Tv, holding objects very close to their face, blinking a lot, eye rubbing, or one eye turning in or out. regular eye checks are particularly important in childhood because they: • Check how well your child can see • Look at how healthy their eyes are • Help identify problems early to prevent them developing a lazy eye. 5 2 c ’ e s t l u x e l i f e s t y l e
