Help Yourself To Better Vision Your eyes are involved in just about everything you do. If a problem develops with your vision, therefore, it will affect much of your life. So it pays to take care of your eyes. Here are some ways to do just that: Wear sunglasses. To help guard against the development of cataracts and macular degeneration, children and adults need to wear sunglasses with maximum protection from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. That means lenses that block 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B. Look for sunglasses that bear the American Optometric Association's Seal of Acceptance. Get a thorough eye health and vision examination every year or two until age 61 and annually thereafter. Vision changes and eye diseases can occur without noticeable early symptoms. Be alert for symptoms indicating a need for prompt consultation with your optometrist. These include suddenly blurred or distorted vision, frequent headaches, pain of any kind in the eye, eye irritation or redness and eye fatigue. Wear the proper eye safety equipment on the job, when doing eye hazardous activities at home or when participating in eye hazardous sports, such as baseball/softball, basketball, tennis or racquetball. Give your eyes a break. Take a 10-minute break every hour or two from your computer, other close work or television viewing to relax your eyes by looking in the distance. Prolonged concentration on any close work--video games, computer screens, sewing, reading--may contribute to eye strain and the development of nearsightedness.
