Here\nare some great eye care tips for how to keep your eyes healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eye Safety<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely wear sunglasses! Ultraviolet\n(UV) exposure damages eyes and increases the likelihood you will develop\nmacular degeneration and cataracts. You need proper sunglasses to block 99 to\n100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays. Come see us, and we can help you choose\nthe right lenses. We have everything from wraparound lenses to polarized\nlenses. We even have contact lenses that offer some UV protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also recommend safety eyewear if\nyou work with hazardous materials in your job or at home with a hobby. Safety\nglasses or protective goggles are both great options. We also help athletes\nchoose the appropriate eye protection. We regularly work with members of\nlacrosse, ice hockey, and other teams to outfit them with the proper eye\nprotection to avoid eye injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, we all spend a lot more\ntime on the computer, whether at work or at home. Prolonged computer use can\ncause eye strain, dry eye and trouble focusing at a distance. It\u2019s always a\ngood idea to have an up-to-date glasses or contact lens prescription.\nExperiencing eye strain? Come talk to us about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a smoker, there are so\nmany reasons to quit, including better eye health. Smokers are much more likely\nto develop cataracts and macular degeneration and much more likely to incur\ndamage to the optic nerve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nutrition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Good nutrition leads to good eye\nhealth. Vitamins and nutrients like omega-3, vitamins C and E and lutein are\nvery important in fighting age-related vision issues like cataracts and macular\ndegeneration. Oily fish like tuna and salmon are a great source of omega-3.\nDark green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale are packed with vitamins.\nProtein sources like eggs, beans and nuts are important as are citrus fruits as\na source of vitamin C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regular Eye Exams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We all need regular eye exams, and\nthey should start early, when a child is still very young. We recommend at\nleast an annual eye exam at every age. Many eye diseases have no symptoms, and\nregular eye exams are the only way to detect them. Early detection is key; when\nwe catch diseases early, they are easier to treat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A comprehensive eye exam includes\nus taking a personal and family medical history, vision tests and tests to see\nhow well your eyes work together. We perform a dilated eye exam, and we also\ntest eye pressure and your optic nerve to check for glaucoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see an optometrist for\ngeneral eye care, or an ophthalmologist who is a medical doctor who specializes\nin eye care; they treat eye diseases and perform eye surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Are Here For You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eye care at\nour Reading PA facility is very conveniently located, and we have convenient\nhours and doctors on call for after-hours eye emergencies that might arise.
