The eye test is a vital health check and should be part of everyone's normal health regime.
- Have regular eye examinations
- Stop smoking
- If you have glasses or contact lenses, wear them!
- Don’t look at the sun directly, ever!
- Eat a healthy diet – low in fat, rich in vegetables (in particular green leafy vegetables), nuts and fruit
- Don’t poke things in your (or other people’s) eyes!
- Don’t wear other people’s contact lenses
- Unless your contact lens practitioner tells you it is OK, avoid sleeping or swimming with your contact lenses in.
- Make sure you keep the contact lenses and their case clean
- Protect your eyes from the sun - use sunglasses or even a wide brim hat
