BY KES JOHNSON 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. fleetwood homes or pembroke [recognizes employeesI Fleetwood Homes of Pembroke recently rewarded employees for their service irvl989.
