LIVE well. AGE well. SEE well. September is Healthy Aging Month, created 25 years ago to promote responsibility for preventative health care. The comprehensive eye exam explores your vision, but also makes sure your eyes are aging appropriately. Below are some tips to promote a lifetime of healthy vision--but most important is that annual exam for early detection and management of many ocular and systemic disease that can cause vision loss!

Lutein in leafy greens - important to maintain healthy macula 

UV protection - to prevent early cataracts, macular degeneration & eyelid aging.  
hydration and fish oil - is great for a healthy tear film. 

fruits and veggies - rich in antioxidants provide protection from eye disease.

What's good for your body, is good for your eyes!

Remember to schedule an annual eye exam and our doctors would be happy to talk more about healthy aging and the eye!!
