                  Caring for your vision & eyes

                  Nutrition for your eyes

                  Food high in antioxidants and essential fatty acids have beneficial effects on the eyes in many ways, such as reducing dry eye symptoms and macular damage. These foods include green leafy vegetables, fish, nuts and fruits.

                  Sun Safety for your eyes

                  UV radiation from the sun is harmful not only to the skin but also to the eyes. Like the skin, your eyes can get "sunburn" or photokeratitis with excessive exposure to the sun in a short period of time. Small amount of exposure to the sun over a long period of time may also lead to retinal damage. Sunglasses with UV block act as a "sunscreen" for your eyes.
