Thank you for attending our class on protecting and maintaining eye health. As we age, vision changes are common, but with the right habits, we can support long-term eye wellness.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Regular Eye Exams

Annual eye exams are crucial for early detection of conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. More frequent checkups may be needed if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other risk factors.

Protect Your Eyes Daily

Wear UV-blocking sunglasses and a brimmed hat outdoors. Limit screen time and use blue light filters on digital devices to reduce strain.

Holistic Habits for Eye Comfort

Use warm compresses and lubricating eye drops as needed. Try relaxation techniques and stress management to ease eye strain. Eye exercises can also help maintain flexibility and focus.

Nutritional Support for Eye Health

Stay hydrated and eat a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E. Consider an anti-inflammatory diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, to support overall eye wellness. Always check with your healthcare provider before taking supplements.

Monitor Changes and Seek Help

Track any vision changes, discomfort, or new symptoms. Managing underlying health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure is essential for maintaining eye health.

By adopting these habits, you can support healthy vision for years to come. Always consult with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your health routine.
