There are no symptoms in the early stages of chronic glaucoma, so it is important to have eye examinations
Especially if you are in the group of people at risk of getting this condition. In the later stages, you may have blurring around the outside of your vision.

If you are in a high-risk group, get a comprehensive dilated eye exam to catch glaucoma early and start treatment.

Excessive exposure to electronic screens can cause reduced blinking rates and digital eye strain, which is the physical discomfort felt after two or more hours in front of a digital screen

Here are a few helpful tips for protecting your eyes:

1) Take frequent breaks when using digital devices.
2) Take 20-20-20 breaks: every 20 mins, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.
3) Don’t have screens too close to your eyes.
4) Consider computer eyewear to help block blue light exposure
Adjust text size on your screens.
5) Remind yourself to blink.
6) Install apps on digital devices to help filter out blue lights, especially at nighttime.

Regular eye exams are important for detecting eye diseases and conditions early. If caught early, issues can be treated much more successfully, helping to prolong your vision health.

You should schedule an eye exam annually if you wear corrective lenses. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that every adult have a baseline eye exam by the age of 40. Appointments should also be scheduled if you’re suffering from any type of eye discomfort, such as dry eyes. Age, family health history, and personal vision issues are all factors in determining how frequently you need an eye exam.

Make sure to specifically note any vision problems or eye discomforts you may be having when you call to make your appointment. Write down any questions you have for your eye doctor, and bring that to your visit along with a list of any medications you may be taking.

Even if your vision problem seems small, it could be an indicator of a bigger issue. Schedule an eye exam with your physician to learn more and maintain your vision for the long haul.
