Reading Glasses or Prescription Glasses 

While you can select various options for reading glasses at a drug store, prescription glasses can be made to address more specific eye-related issues than generic options. To better your eyesight, it is important to use professional, prescription corrective lenses.

Reading glasses can sometimes be of use for small tasks. The reading glasses you can select at the store can help with reading, but may not address other age-related vision issues. Additionally, individuals who choose generic glasses may experience headaches from eye strain. To improve your eyesight, consider prescription glasses from professionals at an eye care clinic.

How Lifestyle Choices Affect Your Eyes

Your daily habits can influence cataract development more than you might realize. Smoking, for instance, affects blood circulation throughout your body, including your eyes. Poor circulation can accelerate the breakdown of proteins in your lens, leading to the development of cataracts earlier and their progression to occur faster. 

Heavy alcohol consumption has also been shown to increase the risk of cataracts. The exact mechanism isn’t fully understood, but researchers believe alcohol may interfere with the eye’s ability to maintain healthy lens proteins.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Patients with diabetes can be at risk for developing problems in the retina (back of the eye). Diabetic retinopathy is one of the key complications of diabetes that we look for in a diabetic eye exam. This condition can result in swelling and/or bleeding in the back of the eye. If you currently have diabetes, it is important to have regular diabetic eye exams because complications can begin before you experience symptoms. By catching diabetic retinopathy early, you can receive timely effective treatment to help preserve your vision.
