May is Vision Health Month, a great time to prioritize your eye health and protect your sight for the future. Here are four important things to look for and do: First, schedule a comprehensive eye exam. Many eye conditions, like glaucoma or macular degeneration, develop without obvious symptoms, so early detection is key. Second, pay attention to changes in your vision. Blurriness, eye strain, headaches, or difficulty seeing at night shouldn’t be ignored, these can signal underlying issues. Third, protect your eyes from UV rays. Wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection when outdoors to reduce the risk of cataracts and other damage. Finally, support your vision with healthy habits. Eat foods rich in omega-3s, lutein, and vitamins C and E, take breaks from screens, and stay hydrated. Taking small steps now can make a big difference in preserving your vision long term.
