The re-opening of our states is happening now. What will that mean for your vision needs, specifically, appointments at your eye doctor’s office?
Some optometric practices will remain closed. Others are going forward with a limited opening, meaning fewer doctors, less staff, and, as a result, fewer slots available for patients.
Do you hope to soon have an eye examination? Let’s explore what it’s likely to look like in the wake of a global pandemic.
Did you know that your overall health can determine the health of your eyes? By eating the right nutrients, and nutrients specifically intended to benefit your eyes, you can protect against eye-related diseases and conditions and preserve the integrity of your eyes.
Before delving into the nutrients and supplements that can help improve eyesight and prolong the contraction of certain eye diseases that typically occur as we age, it is important to understand what some of the common eye diseases are.
According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), dry eye is a diagnosis with which a person has inadequate tears available to lubricate the eye.
Tears comprise a mixture of water, fatty oils and mucus that maintain the smoothness and clarity of vision while preventing the risk of eye infections. When the tear ducts do not provide the regulation of tear lubrication, patients experience constant irritation, burning, excessive tearing and blurred vision. With each blink of an eye, tears provide nourishment across the entire surface of the cornea and wash away foreign matter.
