Your Eye Care Guide
How often should I have my eyes examined?
How often should I have my eyes examined?
The frequency of eye exams should ideally be every one to two years, but it can vary depending on your age, health, and risk factors.
Regular eye exams are crucial for maintaining good eye health as they can detect vision problems, eye diseases, and other health issues before they become serious. For adults, the American Optometric Association recommends a comprehensive eye exam every two years for ages 18 to 60, and annually for those over 60. However, if you have risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of eye disease, or if you wear glasses or contact lenses, more frequent exams may be necessary.
For children, eye exams should start at six months, again at three years, and then just before starting school. After that, every two years is recommended, unless the child has vision correction needs or risk factors for eye problems.
At Bucad, you can safely and quickly get your eyes checked for early detection that would save your vision in just one scan.
What can I do to protect my vision?
What can I do to protect my vision?
Eat a healthy diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants, protect your eyes from UV rays, take breaks when using digital devices or control screen time, and maintain a healthy weight.
Will wearing reading glasses make my eyes worse?
Will wearing reading glasses make my eyes worse?
No, wearing reading glasses does not make your eyes worse. They simply help your eyes focus properly when you’re doing close-up work.
Reading glasses are typically used to correct presbyopia, a condition that affects almost everyone as they age. Presbyopia is caused by a hardening of the lens of the eye, which makes it more difficult for the eyes to focus on near objects. Reading glasses provide a simple and effective way to compensate for this change by magnifying the text, making it easier to see and focus on.
While reading glasses do not harm your vision, they are not designed to be worn all the time. They should only be used for tasks that require close focus, such as reading. If you find you’re relying on your reading glasses more and more, it may be time to schedule an eye exam to ensure your prescription is still right for you.
Can too much “screen time” be a problem for my eyes?
Can too much “screen time” be a problem for my eyes?
Yes, prolonged screen time can potentially cause problems for your eyes. This is due to a condition known as digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome.
Digital eye strain is a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer, tablet, e-reader, and mobile phone use. The level of discomfort appears to increase with the amount of digital screen use. Symptoms can include eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, and neck and shoulder pain.
It’s important to take regular breaks to rest your eyes when using digital devices. The 20-20-20 rule is often recommended: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Also, ensuring that your device is at an appropriate distance and angle can help reduce strain.
Can I do anything about my chances of vision loss?
Can I do anything about my chances of vision loss?
Absolutely, you can significantly influence your chances of vision loss. Proactive steps like regular eye check-ups, maintaining a healthy diet, and protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays can help maintain good eye health and reduce the risk of vision loss.
Regular eye examinations are crucial as they can detect potential problems at an early stage, increasing the chances of successful treatment and preservation of vision. A balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E might help ward off age-related vision problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts.
Furthermore, excessive exposure to sunlight’s ultraviolet rays can contribute to serious eye conditions. Therefore, wearing sunglasses that block out 99 to 100% of both UVA and UVB radiation whenever you’re outdoors is also important for preventing vision loss.
