protected. UV protection is essential<br />

for proper eye care. You can get a lot<br />

of damage done to your eyes by the<br />

sun’s radiation. Be careful and don’t<br />

take unnecessary risks with your vision.<br />

When you wear sunglasses, you won’t<br />

have to be hurt by the sun’s rays. Too<br />

much exposure can cause damage to<br />

the eyes. For maximum protection,<br />

pick sunglasses that completely block<br />

UVB and UVA rays. Wraparound<br />

sunglasses will help even more.<br />

as important to wear sunglasses in the<br />

wintertime as it is in the summer. If you<br />

Knowing your families history when<br />

it comes to eye disease can be beneficial<br />

Talk to family members about any eye<br />

conditions that exist within the bloodline.<br />

This knowledge will help your optometrist<br />

assess your condition. You can then get to<br />

the treatment and medication sooner.<br />

problems. Studies show food containing<br />

omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamins<br />
