Eye Vision Health

They're small, but when it comes to power, the eyes have it: 2 million working parts that process 36,000 bits of info per hour. Our eyes allow us to see and they reflect how we feel, so it's vital they stay healthy. While some vision glitches, such as nearsightedness, are inevitable, others (eyestrain or glaucoma, for example) are preventable.

Here are few tips to help you keep your eyes healthy:

1.    Slip on Some Shades

2.    Take Screen Breaks

3.    Get Regular Eye Exams

4.    Be Careful with Your Contacts

Eyes have a nifty defense system: lids that close, lashes that trap dust and dirt, and tears that wash away foreign matter that gets in anyway. Even so, eyes can get irritated or infected. Following basic hygiene rules will help prevent peeper problems, but when they crop up anyway, the fixes are usually straightforward.

Vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia (trouble reading up close) are generally pretty innocuous and easily handled with eyeglasses, contact lenses and even surgery.

Vision screening is especially important for children and adults too, as it can detect eye problems that are commonly occurring. Early detection can help fix these issues. The most commonly used method is visual acuity which is used to evaluate eyesight. Each eye is tested individually and then both eyes are screened at the same time.

The best possible vision screening result is 20/20. We advise our clients that already wear contacts or glasses to wear them during their vision screening.

Don’t forget to call 20/20 Eyeglass Superstore® to make an appointment for your free vision screening at any of our three locations in Florida.
