E and C can help prevent macular<br />
degeneration and cataracts. You can also<br />

eye disease.<br />

HAVE YOUR EYES<br />
CHECKED REGULARLY<br />
Get your eyes checked regularly and<br />
immediately if you have an issue,<br />
although some conditions do not have<br />
obvious symptoms. Routine visits<br />
to the eye doctor can help. Some of<br />
these eye conditions can be remedied<br />
if they are treated early enough.<br />
It is crucial to have eye exams on a regular<br />
basis. Your eyes ought to be checked<br />
even more often if you’re a bit older. As<br />
your body gets older, there may be a<br />
higher risk of eye problems like cataracts<br />
or glaucoma. Letting an optometrist<br />
check your eyes closely will help prevent<br />
problems or catch them in advance.<br />

WATCH OUT FOR EXCESSIVE BLINKING<br />
Blinking too often can be a sign you have an eye issue. If your eyes are not dry,<br />
it just may be the result of a nervous tic you are experiencing. If that seems to be the<br />
case, try to relax. If it is not due to stress, see an ophthalmologist.<br />

USE A HUMIDIFIER<br />
Consider the air conditioning and heating in your home. Heaters can contribute<br />
to drying out the air in a room, and poorly maintained air conditioners can spew mold<br />
spores in the air. Instead of shutting off the heater entirely, you can turn on a humidifier<br />
to help the air stay moist. This moisture keeps eyes from becoming irritated or dry.<br />
