SAVE YOUR
VISION
WEEK
MARCH 4-10
"Save Your Vision Week," which
is being celebrated March 4-10, has
been proclaimed by President Bush
to remind Americans to take care of
their eyes, say Dr. Mary Ann
Masters and Dr. Sandra Locklear.
Proper eye care is essential for
everyone from young school children
to older adults.
The eye chart test commonly used
in schools checks only how clearly a
child can see at a distance. However,
there ate many other vision problems
that could effect a child's learning
and enjoyment of recreational activi
ties. Your child may show signs of
problems, such as squinting, avoid
ance of close work, headaches,
rubbing of eyes, placing his or her
head close to the desk, etc. Vision
problems, however, can exist without
symptoms, so it pays to have
children Veyes examined thoroughly
every year.
As American Baby Boomers enter
their 40's, they should prepare for
subtle changes in their vision.
Conditions to watch out for include:
?Presbyopia, which results from
reduced flexibility of the eye's
lens and begins to blur vision at age
40-50.
?Glaucoma, which occurs when
fluid pressure in the eye rises above
normal, causing a loss of vision if left
untreated.
?Cataracts, a cloudiness in the
eye's lens. Symptoms include blur
red vis?fCurr.'Vnd double vision.
If you are experiencing any of
these problem*, you should schedule
an examination to have your eyes
checked by an optometrist.
If you wear extended wear or
disposable contact lenses, follow the
rules! Otherwise, you could be in for
trouble. To avoid problems, contact
lens wearers should:
? Start off with full-service care to
insure proper prescription, lenaea,
and fit
? Pay close attention to lens care
instructions, and follow them to a
letter.
-Keep office appointments during j
the adaption period.
- See your optometrist whenever
problems develop.
An eye examination can tell more
if a person is nearsighted or
farsighted. It can also detect signs of
high blood pressure, cholesterol, or
diabetes. That's just one more
reason an annual optometric exami
nation is so important to your overall
good health.
