Looking after your eyes - Five Top Tips
-
Visit an optometrist regularly. Optometrists are professionally
trained not only to test sight and prescribe glasses and contact
lenses; they can also spot eye problems and treat infections.
-
Be
"eye aware" - make sure to check each of your eyes one at a
time, and if you notice any changes, consult your optometrist
-
Parents, keep an eye on your children - don't forget, they don't
know what "normal" vision is, so watch out for signs that there
may be problems. These include instances where children's eyes
appear not to work together, if they rub their eyes often or if
they seem to shut one eye to see more clearly.
-
Contact lens wearers - never wear anyone else's lenses, wash
them in tap water or sleep in them (unless your optometrist says
you can)
-
Buy good quality, dark sunglasses - Sunlight can damage the retina
and the lens of the eye, and we risk causing long-term damage to our
eyesight. Good sunglasses don't need to be expensive: you can
purchase perfectly adequate protective sunglasses from high street
stores. Look out for glasses carrying the "CE" Mark and British
Standard BS EN 1836:1997, which ensures that the sunglasses offer a
safe level of UV protection.
