eye health refers to the practices and conditions that contribute to the maintenance and improvement of the vision system, which includes the eyes and the various parts of the body related to them. good eye health helps prevent vision loss and maintain the ability to see clearly.
key aspects of maintaining eye health include regular eye exams, protection against harmful uv rays, proper nutrition, avoiding smoking, managing chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension that can affect eyesight, and understanding the impact of age-related changes on vision.
common eye problems include refractive errors (like nearsightedness and farsightedness), cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. symptoms of eye problems can include blurred vision, halos, blind spots, and floaters.
early detection and treatment of eye problems are crucial for preserving vision. treatments for eye conditions can vary from corrective lenses for refractive errors to medications and surgery for more serious conditions like cataracts or glaucoma.
