Regular eye exams are key to keeping your eyes healthy. Even if you don’t have any problems with your vision, seeing an optician can help find early signs of eye problems like glaucoma or cataracts. Early detection means better treatment options

What you eat plays a significant role in maintaining good eye health. Foods rich in antioxidants, such as leafy greens, carrots, and fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, help protect your eyes from oxidative stress and reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Just like your skin, your eyes can be damaged by harmful UV rays from the sun. Prolonged exposure can increase the risk of cataracts and other eye conditions. Always wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV.

Whether you’re playing sports, working with hazardous materials, or doing home renovations, always protect your eyes with the proper safety eyewear. This will help prevent injuries that could affect your vision.

Certain eye conditions, such as glaucoma can run in families. Be sure to share your family history with your optician so they can monitor you for any potential issues and recommend the best course of action for prevention or treatment.

At Vision Plus Opticians, we use the latest technology, including OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans, to keep track of your eye health. OCT scans give us a detailed picture of the layers of your retina, helping us spot issues like glaucoma or early signs of eye disease before they affect your vision.
