Eye health can become an afterthought, particularly for people who have never had vision problems. However, getting regular eye exams and protecting your vision is important to help avoid eye conditions and discover problems early so you can seek proper treatment.

The most important step for maintaining eye health is getting regular eye exams. Often, people don't realize their vision has decreased and that glasses or contacts could help them see better. In addition, eye exams can help diagnose diseases such as glaucoma and diabetes, which may have no obvious symptoms. Don't forget to take your kids in for regular eye exams as well; vision problems can decrease performance at school and make daily activities harder for your child.

Other steps to protect your vision include always wearing sunglasses when out in the sun, wearing protective eyewear when performing dangerous work and resting eyes periodically when at a computer for extended periods of time.
