Ways To Have Better Vision (2/5) | Woodland Hills Eye Doctor


2. Have Regularly Scheduled Eye Exams


Make sure that you always check your eyes and schedule regular checkups with your local eye doctor to see how your eyes are doing. This also helps to avoid any eye problems or at least treat them before they can cause more complications such as glaucoma and cataracts. If detected during these checkups, it makes it easier to handle and take care of your eyes in the long run.


3. No Smoking Allowed


There can be tons of health risks when it comes to smoking and eye problems are one of them.  For many smokers, long term smoking can cause not only damage to the lungs but can also cause nerve damage in the optic nerve area of the eye as well as macular degeneration. If these eye problems are not treated, it can result in blindness.

Age is not the only indication for maturity and you have to make sure your child is actually responsible enough to handle the application and other cares of contact lenses. If they’re already wearing glasses, make sure they understand that contacts are not the same and require more meticulous and careful handling. Analyze how they perform their other duties around the house and that should give you a hint.
