October: World Sight Month

October is recognized as World Sight Month, a time to celebrate and raise awareness about the importance of eye health. This fall season, it’s a great reminder to prioritize your vision and ensure your eyes are in top shape for the season. At Cedar See Vision Center, we’re dedicated to promoting eye health and encouraging everyone to take steps toward better vision care.
 

Why Eye Health Matters

Our vision is one of the most important senses, yet it’s often overlooked until problems arise. Regular eye exams can detect issues early, such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and more. Many eye conditions don’t show symptoms until they’re advanced, making proactive care essential.

Steps You Can Take for Healthy Eyes

• Get Regular Eye Exams: Comprehensive eye exams are crucial, even if you don’t wear glasses or contacts. They help detect early signs of eye disease and ensure your prescription is up to date.

• Protect Your Eyes: Whether you’re outdoors or working on the computer, wearing the right protective eyewear is key. Sunglasses with UV protection and blue light glasses for screen time are great investments.

• Eat for Your Eyes: A diet rich in leafy greens, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins C and E can help maintain eye health. Foods like spinach, kale, fish, and citrus fruits are great for eye health.

• Be Mindful of Screen Time: With more people working from home and increasing screen use, it’s important to follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look away 20 feet away for 20 seconds to reduce eye strain.
