We often take our ability to see for granted. In reality, this sense has a profound impact on the way we live our lives. Good vision care habits are essential to preserving and protecting sight. Why should you be proactive when it comes to eye health?
- Vision Can Impact Work Performance
Most jobs require good eyesight. That means a worker with poor vision is much more likely to struggle in their job duties. A part of being proactive is making sure you get regular exams and comprehensive screenings.
- Myopia Can Worsen
Myopia is on the rise. Also known as nearsightedness, this condition may seem like no big deal. However, the younger a person is when they develop it, the worse the progression of the condition can be. It also increases the risk of serious conditions as you age, like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts.
- Your Eyes Are Connected to Your Overall Health
Your eyes serve as a window to your overall health. Our ophthalmologists can sometimes identify diseases like cancer, diabetes, Sickle Cell disease, and more just by examining your eyes. Regular visits will help ensure an early diagnosis that may improve your long-term outlook and treatment options.
- Sight Can Make Everyday Tasks Easier or More Challenging
Most people rely on their eyesight to complete everyday tasks. This sense is one of the most important for activities like driving and reading. There are eye diseases that can be managed or cured if you see an ophthalmologist in time. Depending on the injury or disease, you can retain your sight or slow down its progression.
