Your Eyes & Your World

Protecting your eyes from ultraviolet (UV) radiation is just as important as putting on sunscreen to protect your skin. Infants and young children are especially vulnerable to UV radiation. Many age-related eye diseases may be partially caused by the cumulative effects of UV exposure throughout life.

Smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and computer screens are an ever-present part of modern life. It's no surprise that research shows a rise in the detection of visual problems associated with digital screens and computer use, referred to as computer vision syndrome or digital eye strain.

In the same way as a healthy diet is essential for a healthy body, a healthy diet is also important for maintaining healthy eyes. Nutrition impacts a number of eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, dry eye syndrome, and eyelid disorders.
