The document discusses the importance of eye care and vision screenings. It notes that many common eye conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration are more likely to cause vision impairment if left untreated. Age is also a major risk factor, as several aspects of vision and eye health decline with age, such as pupil size and responsiveness to light. Regular eye exams are important for detecting issues early and maintaining eye health.

2.  Importance of vision care is increasing daily. Studies
state that millions of people around the world live with
visual impairment and most of the diseases become
vulnerable when it remains untreated.

3. • A visit to an eye care professional can detect
common visual problems and eye conditions,
including:
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Glaucoma
• Cataract
• Age related macular degeneration (AMD)

4.  Research indicates
that several eye
diseases are more
prevalent in certain
racial and ethnic
minority. Aging is
also an important
reason for eye
disease. As the age
increases, the chance
of eye disorders also
increases.

5.  . By the time you turn 70, the size of your
pupil will get reduced to one third of its size
when you are 20. Also the responsiveness of
pupil to bright light also gets diminished. The
lens becomes yellowed, less flexible, and
slightly cloudy.

6.  . The eye muscles also will get less
able to fully rotate the eye. Another
important problem during old age is to
focus the eye to something close. This
condition is called presbyopia.

7.  As you get aged, the gel- like substance called
vitreous inside your eye starts to shrink. This
creates small particles called floaters in your field of
vision. In most of the cases, floaters do not reduce
your vision.

8.  One of the important things that we can do to
avoid early aging of eyes is that to care eyes
from the early stage itself. Children eye care
clinics are helpful to detect eye problems at its
beginning

9.  Early intervention
especially in childhood
will allow a chance for
normal visual
development and have
less impact on your
child’s ability. Proper eye
examinations will also
screen for binocular and
color vision irregularities.

10.  Children are also vulnerable to UV radiation
damage since they have large pupils, clear
lenses and spend more time outside.

11.  The World Health Organisation states that
“up to 80% of a person’s lifetime
exposure to UV radiation is reached
before the age of 18”. This shows the
importance of using sunglasses

12.  While you are planning to buy a sunglass, go with
branded sunglasses. Because the ultimate aim of
sunglasses more than a fashionable eye wear is to
protect eyes from ultra violet rays.

13.  Regular eye examinations are crucial to maintain
healthy vision and also it will help in detecting major
medical problems in early stage itself. If the eye
problems remain undetected, the eye muscles may
get weakened.

14.  Weakened eye muscles may restrict the
movement of eyes in all directions.
