Eye Health Promotion and Education
Informed patients make empowered decisions about their vision. Our Eye Health Promotion and Education initiative is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to protect and enhance your ocular health for life. Through personalized guidance, community workshops, and accessible resources, we bridge the gap between clinical care and daily habits—because prevention is as vital as correction.
Why It Matters:
– Preventative Care: 50% of vision loss cases are avoidable with early detection.
– Confidence in Care: Understand your eye conditions and treatment options.
Follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds), adjust screen brightness to match your environment, and consider blue light-filtering lenses. We also recommend annual eye exams to monitor changes.
Focus on nutrients like:
– Lutein & Zeaxanthin (leafy greens, eggs) for macular protection.
– Omega-3s (fatty fish, flaxseeds) for dry eye relief.
– Vitamin C (citrus, bell peppers) to strengthen blood vessels.
Children should have their first comprehensive exam at 6 months, then at age 3, before starting school, and every 2 years thereafter (annually if risk factors exist, like family history or learning difficulties). Early detection is key to addressing amblyopia or focusing issues.
Yes! UV rays penetrate clouds and contribute to cataracts and macular degeneration. Choose 100% UV-blocking sunglasses year-round. We offer UV-protective coatings for clear lenses if you prefer non-tinted options.
