EYE CARE
The best way to protect your eyes as you age is to make sure you have a comprehensive eye exam at least every two years. Being aware of warning signs of vision problems can help one take appropriate steps to protect the eyesight. Certain eye problems, such as, detached retina or certain types of glaucoma require prompt attention by an eye doctor to avoid or minimize permanent vision loss.
Most people have eye problems at one time or another. Some are minor and will go away on their own, or are easy to treat at home while others need a specialist’s care. The following signs and symptoms can indicate a medical emergency or an urgent condition that could cause significant vision loss over time.
In most cases, you should see your eye doctor as soon as possible if you experience; sudden eye pain, redness, nausea and vomiting or a sensation that a dark curtain has settled across your field of view, blurry vision and ghost images, sudden blind spot in one eye, and so on.
