New Year Resolutions for your Eyes

Happy New Year! At this time of year, many of us make those resolutions. This year why not make your resolution about your eyes? Your eyes are one of the most important and most neglected part of upir body. Here are a few ideas:

If you are a contact lens wearer, make a resolution that you will take them out every night, change them on the FDA recommended replacement schedule, use only recommended disinfection solutions, change your case every 3 months, and make sure you have your annual eye exam.

If you are using over the counter readers as your only type of vision correction (or know someone who is), make a resolution to get your eyes (or theirs) examined. After all $10 reading glasses do not keep you from getting GLAUCOMA, MACULAR DEGENERATION, CATARACTS, or RETINAL HOLES and TEARS (all of which can have no symptoms whatsoever).

Even if you are good about making your annual eye exams, and have an updated pair of glasses, you can still make a healthy sight resolution by pledging to get yourself a pair of prescription sunglasses to protect your eyes from the damaging UV rays of the sun.

We only get one set of eyes, so whatever 2012 brings, be sure to make them a priority this year!
